• 3:01
  Speaker 5: is facing new allegations of sexual assault in a civil
• 3:05
  Speaker 5: lawsuit again, an unnamed individual from southern California referred to
• 3:10
  Speaker 5: as John Doe, has accused Combs of sexual assault that
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: allegedly occurred on the set of a commercial between twenty
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: twenty two and twenty twenty three, according to a complaint
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: filed in the New York County Supreme Court. This report
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: was reviewed by The USA Today, who reported it first. Doe,
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: who identifies as a photographer production assistant, claims he initiated
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: a conversation with Combs while they were working on a quote,
• 3:37
  Speaker 5: high profile commercial. According to the allegations, after Combs invited
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: Doe to his trailer, he reportedly demanded oral sex from
• 3:46
  Speaker 5: the man in exchange for promises of career advancement, calling
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: the alleged incident a blatant sexual quid pro quote. The
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: lawsuit states Combs presented his interaction as a pivotal opportunity
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: for Doe's career. Despite his reservations, Doe felt compelled to
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: seize what seemed to be once in a lifetime opportunity.
• 4:08
  Speaker 5: It further suggests that if Doe did not satisfy Comb's demands,
• 4:13
  Speaker 5: his career would suffer. Doe, who does not recall the
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: specifics of why Combs was present at the scene, claims
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: he is a victim of sexual battery and is seeking
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: a jury trial. Colmbs's legal representatives issued a statement reaffirming
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: his innocence, saying, quote, no matter how many lawsuits are filed,
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: especially by those unwilling to disclose their names and identities,
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: it does not alter the fact that mister Combs has
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: never sexually assaulted or trafficked anyone, regardless of gender or age.
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: They added, we exist in a society where anyone can
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: file a lawsuit for any reason. Thankfully, there is a
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: fair judicial system to uncover the truth, and mister Combs
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: is confident he will be vindicated in court. Notably, Texas
• 4:58
  Speaker 5: attorney Tony Dosby, who is represented Doe, stated quote, we

  Speaker 5: have diligently pursued this litigation to ensure the voices of

  Speaker 5: these alleged victims are acknowledged.
• 5:10
  Speaker 6: I'm Jennifer Goolds. The arc of Lashawn Eugene Johnson's life
• 5:14
  Speaker 6: has taken a shocking turn, plummeting from the heights of
• 5:18
  Speaker 6: NFL stardom to the depths of federal criminal charges. The
• 5:22
  Speaker 6: former running back fifty four stands accused of operating a
• 5:26
  Speaker 6: massive dog fighting ring. The FBI's investigation culminating in the
• 5:31
  Speaker 6: seizure of one hundred and ninety pitbulls from his Oklahoma properties,
• 5:36
  Speaker 6: a record breaking confiscation. This indictment reveals a calculated operation,
• 5:42
  Speaker 6: a stark contrast to his celebrated athletic career, and a
• 5:46
  Speaker 6: chilling echo of his prior animal cruelty conviction. Here's Kevin Chambers,
• 5:52
  Speaker 6: State director of Animal Wellness Action, talking to Tulsa six News,
• 5:56
  Speaker 6: the punishment needs to be strong.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: The public has asked for that.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: They have made it a felony for that reason.
• 6:05
  Speaker 6: Federal prosecutors alleged Johnson, under the moniker Malcant Kennels, ran
• 6:10
  Speaker 6: a sophisticated dog fighting enterprise across Broken Arrow and Haskell.
• 6:15
  Speaker 6: He reportedly bred and sold champion fighting dogs, some bearing
• 6:20
  Speaker 6: names like war Pony and boot Stomper, boasting about their
• 6:25
  Speaker 6: brutal fighting records. One dog hog reportedly achieved eight victories,
• 6:31
  Speaker 6: evidence of the operation's alleged efficiency and brutality. The October
• 6:36
  Speaker 6: twenty twenty four FBI raid, resulting in the largest single
• 6:40
  Speaker 6: person seizure of fighting dogs in US history, exposed the
• 6:46
  Speaker 6: scale of Johnson's alleged crimes. Authorities claim his trafficking fueled
• 6:51
  Speaker 6: the illegal dog fighting industry, subjecting countless animals to unspeakable cruelty.
• 6:57
  Speaker 6: The seized pitbulls are now under the care of animal
• 7:00
  Speaker 6: welfare organizations. And again, this is not Johnson's first encounter
• 7:05
  Speaker 6: with dog fighting allegations. In two thousand and four, he
• 7:09
  Speaker 6: pleaded guilty to state level animal fighting charges. For operating
• 7:13
  Speaker 6: crazy side kennels, resulting in a deferred sentence that prior
• 7:17
  Speaker 6: investigation yielded the seizure of over eighty pit bulls from
• 7:21
  Speaker 6: his Tulsa residents. The federal charges Johnson now faces carry
• 7:25
  Speaker 6: significantly harsher penalties. Each of the twenty one counts carries
• 7:30
  Speaker 6: a maximum sentence of five years in prison and a
• 7:34
  Speaker 6: two hundred and fifty thousand dollars fine, potentially resulting in
• 7:38
  Speaker 6: decades behind bars. Johnson, a former third round draft pick
• 7:42
  Speaker 6: who played for the Green Bay Packers, Arizona Cardinals, and
• 7:46
  Speaker 6: New York Giants, once enjoyed a successful NFL career. His resilience,
• 7:52
  Speaker 6: particularly after battling lymphoma, was celebrated, but these allegations have
• 7:57
  Speaker 6: severely tarnished his legacy. Johnson pleaded not guilty at his
• 8:02
  Speaker 6: arraignment and is scheduled for trial on May fifth. He
• 8:05
  Speaker 6: is currently prohibited from owning pitfulls.
