Diddy was represented by Teny Geragos and the Agnifilo's, who have been called to represent the Cornell 7 in their rape case.

During Diddy's high-profile sex trafficking and racketeering trial, he received expensive representation from Marc Agnifilo's law firm. Marc and Karen Agnifilo fought the mogul's case alongside Teny Geragos, and in the end, they got a favorable outcome.

Diddy was eventually acquitted on the sex trafficking and racketeering charges. He also received a 50-month sentence for transportation for purposes of prostitution.

These legal outcomes have made The Agnifilo Firm extremely popular amongst those facing significant charges. Harvey Weinstein and Luigi Mangione have also used The Agnifilo Firm. Now, the seven students accused of rape at Cornell can be included in that list, according to TMZ.

Geragos is the one handling the case, which has made International headlines over the last week. The accuser, Jane Doe, alleges she was raped by seven students who were part of the Chi Phi fraternity. She also alleges that she was drugged with ketamine and was mostly unconscious during the alleged rape.

The seven students have refuted the allegations, saying that it was consensual. There has been increased scrutiny on the school's handling of Jane Doe's allegations. Moreover, the police and the D.A. have been scrutinized for not bringing charges against the seven students.

This is a high-profile case, and the fact that Diddy's lawyers are now involved will only increase the public scrutiny. The allegations against the students are extremely serious, and the general public is hoping for justice.
