Sean Combs Charged with Racketeering and Sex Trafficking

Sean 'Diddy' Combs has been arrested and charged with racketeering, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution, following a federal indictment unsealed after his arrest at a Manhattan hotel. His attorney stated that Combs plans to plead not guilty, emphasizing his intent to fight the charges. This arrest comes amid multiple civil lawsuits alleging sexual assault and other abuses, including a significant lawsuit by his former partner Cassie Ventura, who accused him of rape and physical abuse. Legal analysts suggest that if convicted, Combs could face severe penalties, including a potential life sentence. The ongoing scrutiny of his personal life, marked by a history of controversial relationships, has intensified following these allegations. Combs' career, spanning over 30 years in the entertainment industry, has been marred by legal troubles and accusations of misconduct.
