Any potential nondisclosure agreements between Sean “Diddy” Combs and his accusers, or anyone else in his orbit who may have witnessed alleged wrongdoing, would not prevent any of them from speaking with federal investigators eyeing the hip-hop mogul in a sex-trafficking investigation, legal experts say.

“They aren’t bound by anything, so they can sing like a canary,” said David Gelman, a New Jersey-based defense attorney and former prosecutor who is following the case. “They can speak because NDAs don’t cover illegal activities.”

Combs, the billionaire founder of Bad Boy Records and the Sean John fashion empire, is facing a handful of civil lawsuits alleging sex assault, trafficking and physical abuse while federal investigators have acknowledged that search warrants served on his mansions in Los Angeles and Miami were part of a sex-trafficking probe.

“I can’t see the case of just starting a case like this, doing a search warrant, without going all the way through with it. There’s no way,” Parker said. “They’re not going to just say, ‘OK, forget about it. You go free. We’re not going to bother you anymore.’ Doesn’t work like that.”

Another lawsuit, on behalf of a Jane Doe, alleges she was 17 when a longtime Bad Boy executive and an unnamed “Third Assailant” flew her on a private jet from Detroit to New York City to meet Combs before drugging her and taking turns sexually assaulting her.

Flight logs could supply evidence in the case – and so could any of the witnesses who encountered the entourage that evening, including an unnamed recording artist and her parents who were in a Big Apple music studio when the traffickers allegedly brought her inside, according to the lawsuit.

Despite the federal investigation, Combs has not been charged with a crime and has denied all accusations of wrongdoing. In prior statements, he said the lawsuit with Ventura had been settled on good terms and that some of the other accusers are just looking for “an underserved payday.”

“When the feds get involved, they leave no stone unturned,” Gelman said.
