Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs Indicted on Sex Trafficking and Racketeering Charges

New York City — Sean “Diddy” Combs, the iconic rapper and entrepreneur, faces federal charges of sex trafficking and racketeering in a case filed by the Southern District of New York. Homeland Security agents arrested Combs at a Manhattan hotel, marking a significant moment in the investigation against the music mogul.

Following the arrest, Combs’ attorney, Marc Agnifilo, criticized the charges as an “unjust prosecution,” calling his client a “self-made entrepreneur and philanthropist” who has built a lasting legacy over the past three decades. Agnifilo stressed that Combs has been cooperative and asked the public to reserve judgment until the facts are fully presented.

The charges come in the wake of several lawsuits alleging sexual misconduct. In November, singer Cassie, a former girlfriend of Combs, sued him for rape during their decade-long relationship. While the lawsuit was settled quickly, it opened the door for more accusations. Shortly after, a second woman, Joi Dickerson-Neal, accused Combs of drugging and assaulting her in 1991. Other lawsuits followed, with one woman alleging Combs and his friend Aaron Hall raped her in 1990, while another claimed that she was trafficked and assaulted in 2003.

Combs has repeatedly denied all accusations, calling them attempts to destroy his reputation. In a public statement, he said, “I will fight for my name and the truth. “

As the legal proceedings continue, the case against Combs is expected to capture nationwide attention.
