Sean 'Diddy' Combs has pleaded not guilty to three federal charges including racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution, following his arrest in Manhattan. The indictment alleges that Combs engaged in a decade-long pattern of abuse, utilizing his business empire to create a criminal enterprise that involved various serious crimes, including forced labor and bribery. His attorney emphasized that Combs came to New York voluntarily to face the charges and intends to fight them vigorously. The allegations against him were prompted by claims from his former girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, and have led to significant public scrutiny, especially after surveillance footage of a past assault surfaced. Diddy could face up to 20 years in prison if convicted, and federal authorities have initiated actions to confiscate his assets. The case is set to proceed as authorities argue that Combs is a flight risk, while his defense maintains he is cooperating with the legal process.
