Some of the similarities in the cases brought against Sean “Diddy” Combs this week and Robert Sylvester Kelly several years ago are evident at a glance: Both are world famous, powerful and influential musicians who were accused of sex crimes by federal prosecutors in New York City.

Most recently Diddy was at center of a new sexual assault lawsuit filed by his former bandmate Dawn Richard last week. Richard’s complaint marked at least the eighth brought against him since Ventura’s. Similar complaints were also made from other accusers, including Liza Gardner, Joi Dickerson-Neal and Crystal McKinney.
