Sean “Diddy” Combs was photographed with one of his alleged underage sexual assault victims at his 1998 white party.

The unidentified male, who was 16 at the time, posed with the Bad Boy Records founder, then 28, in the Hamptons in a photo obtained by Page Six.

In the snap, Combs had his arm around his supposed victim, who is going by John Doe in a recent lawsuit, as they stood on a lawn in front of carnival-themed stands.

In his suit filed Monday in US District Court in Manhattan, Doe accused the disgraced hip-hop mogul, now 54, of fondling his genitals during that same event.

The man alleged that Combs told him he had “the look” of a star and then abruptly ordered the then-teen to pull down his pants.

Doe alleged in court documents that the “Last Night” rapper explained to him that the act was a rite of passage to becoming a music star and asked him, “Don’t you want to break into the business?”

The alleged victim said he complied with Combs’ purported request out of fear, anxiety and a power imbalance.

Doe stated in his complaint that he later realized what allegedly happened was a sexual assault.

“As a result of Combs’ sexual assault onto John Doe while he was a minor, John Doe experienced damages including pain and suffering, mental anguish, physical impairment and emotional torment,” the suit read.

“Because of Combs’ power and notoriety, Plaintiff was afraid to report what had happened. John Doe became yet another sexual assault victim of Combs through the same pattern and abuse of influence Combs exercised over others previously.”

Doe was one of six people who filed lawsuits against Combs Monday, accusing the Sean John founder of a range of crimes, including rape, sexual assault and death threats.

The plaintiffs are being represented by Tony Buzbee, a Texas-based attorney who claimed to have been in contact with 120 of Combs’ alleged victims, including men, women and minors.

Combs’ legal team maintained to Page Six that the “Act Bad” rapper “has never sexually assaulted anyone — adult or minor, man or woman.”

Their statement noted, “The press conference and 1-800 number that preceded today’s barrage of filings were clear attempts to garner publicity. Mr. Combs and his legal team have full confidence in the facts, their legal defenses, and the integrity of the judicial process.”
