Sean “Diddy” Combs has been arrested in New York City on federal charges related to an ongoing investigation into sex trafficking. This arrest follows raids on his properties in Los Angeles and Miami earlier this year. The charges stem from an investigation led by U.S. homeland security officials.
Combs’ lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, condemned the arrest as an “unjust prosecution,” asserting that Combs is an “innocent man” and expressing his client’s eagerness to clear his name in court. The arrest was confirmed by Damian Williams, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, who stated that a sealed indictment led to Combs’ arrest. The indictment will be unsealed soon, providing further details.
The hip-hop mogul faces multiple civil lawsuits, including allegations of rape, abuse, and coercion. These legal issues began with a lawsuit from his former partner, Casandra “Cassie” Ventura, followed by other claims of abuse and trafficking. Combs has consistently denied all allegations, dismissing them as attempts to extort money.
As Combs’ legal troubles unfold, his team remains committed to proving his innocence.
