## Transcript

The biggest secret in the entertainment industry that really wasn't a secret at all has finally been revealed to the world. The wall of silence has now been broken, and victims are coming forward. Our team has had at this point, more than 3,285 individuals contact us with people claiming people claiming to have been victimized by Shan Cos. After vetting, we now represent 120 individuals who intend to bring civil claims in civil court against Shawn Ditty Cos. You should know, in this group. It is evenly divided between males and females. There are 60 males and 60 females who have joined us to pursue these claims as plaintiffs.

In this group, 62% identify as African American, 30% are white, and the remainder Hispanic or Asian. The victims are from more than 25 states, majority are from California, New York, Georgia, and Florida. I don't want to focus on the ages of these victims. You talk about the ages of the victims when the conduct occurred, it's shocking. Our youngest victim at the time of the occurrence was 9-years-old. We have an individual who was 14-years-old. We have one who was 15. 25 of 120 individuals who are plaintiffs in these cases were minors at the time of the acts complainant. The time frame of the acts complained of is very wide.

The conduct at issue spans from the years 1991 all the way until this year 2024. If you wonder why there are so many alleged victims, that's your answer. We're talking about more than 25 years of this type of conduct. Most of these events and incidents occurred at parties, typically after parties or album release parties, New Year's Eve parties, Fourth of July parties, something they call a puppy party, all white Party, although several of these events occurred at auditions. Many times, especially young people, people wanting to break into the industry, we were coerced into this type of conduct in the promise of being made a star or in the promise of having Shan Combs listen to their tape or even let them read for Shawn Coes.

You should know that several of the individuals, and when I say several, I mean, many who did, in fact, seek medical treatment were drug tested, and drugs were found in their system, we're drugs. Drugs that you probably never heard of. One in particular that that continues to pop up is a drug called Ezlazin or trank, which based on our research, is known as a horse tranquilizer. Now, although these are in fact, individual cases, there is a common theme, an MO, if you will. Typically, the victim is lured into a situation where he or she is given a drink. Typically that drink reported by these victims is apparently laced with something.

Once that drink takes effect, the perpetrators perform all kinds of sexual acts on the victims, many times passing him or her around, as other people watch and enjoy the show, and then leave the victim ashamed, confused, injured, and wondering what happened. When the victim reaches out, he or she is told not to say anything. Sometimes there are threats of all physical violence or financial repercussions or bodily harm. This type of sexual assault, sexual abuse, and sexual exploitation should never happen in the United State the United States or anywhere else. This should have never been allowed to go on for so long.

This conduct has created a mass of individuals who are injured, scared, and scarred,
