Diddy indicted on sex trafficking, racketeering charges
Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, the embattled US rapper, has been charged with sex trafficking and racketeering.
The Associated Press reports that a federal indictment was unsealed on Tuesday — a few hours after the rapper was arrested by officers with Homeland Security Investigations at the hotel where he was staying, the Park Hyatt New York on 57th Street.
The 54-year-old media mogul has been in the public eye since November 2023 after several women, including Cassie Ventura, the rapper’s ex-girlfriend, took him to court, claiming they were sexually assaulted.
Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones, Diddy’s former producer, also filed a lawsuit alleging that the rapper sexually harassed, drugged, and threatened him for over a year.
In March, the United States Department of Homeland Security raided two properties linked to Diddy.
In May, a video surfaced showing Combs assaulting Cassie in 2016.
Diddy, who had denied Cassie’s claims, however, apologised. He said he was “truly sorry” and that his actions were “inexcusable”.
