Some executives say they had concerns after seeing Combs having sex with women in the studio, including one incident where the employee says the young woman did not seem to react when he walked in. Another staff member complained Combs asked her to bring him condoms.The BBC also heard that corporate funds were used to fly in women from across the US for sex at the request of artists and other employees.

"There was a course of conduct that became more egregious over time and that conduct does go back to the 90s," says Tony Buzbee, a US lawyer representing dozens of alleged victims, including one who says Combs threatened to kill her in similar terms to the incident Evans says he witnessed.His client alleges Combs raped her on a bathroom floor at a promotional party held for The Notorious B.I.G., the label's biggest star, in 1995. She says in her lawsuit that afterwards, Combs told her not to tell anyone or "you will disappear".In a statement, Combs's legal team accused Buzbee of being "more interested in media attention than the truth" and said the hip-hop star "never sexually assaulted or trafficked anyone".

The 55-year-old's lawyers said they had not been provided with sufficient details about the BBC's claims to present the facts that would "counter these fabricated accusations"."As we've said before, Mr Combs cannot dignify every publicity stunt or facially absurd claim with a response. He has full confidence in the judicial process, where the truth will prevail: these accusations are pure fiction," they said.

A brash go-getter, Sean Combs became an overnight millionaire when he launched Bad Boy Records in 1993 with a roster of top artists.

It was Combs's first venture, having already built a name for himself as a talent director at another music label, Uptown Records, aged 19.Locals had prompted an investigation into the practicality of the current 30mph speed limit on Broad Street, High Street and Twyning Street in Bromyard, and whether it was better to introduce a lower speed limit.

There were no objections from the fire and ambulance services, the Road Haulage Association, the Freight Transport Association, or the "locality steward" at the council's public realm contractor, Balfour Beatty.Herefordshire Council rejected the idea during a consultation last year but only published it this month.

Ward councillor for Bromyard West, Clare Davies, backed the idea. However, councillor Peter Stoddart, of neighbouring Bromyard Bringsty, opposed it.Both he and the town council questioned what would be achieved by introducing a 20mph speed limit "given that the speeds were already very low", Herefordshire Council's decision document explained.
