Sean 'Diddy' Combs was arrested in New York City amid a federal investigation into sex trafficking and assault, following a grand jury indictment. The arrest occurred at the Park Hyatt Hotel on September 16, 2024, after Combs voluntarily traveled to New York in anticipation of charges stemming from allegations made by his ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura. The indictment and specific charges remain sealed, but it is part of a broader investigation that has seen federal raids on Combs' properties in Los Angeles and Miami. Combs has faced multiple allegations of sexual misconduct, including a recent lawsuit from singer Dawn Richard and a judgment requiring him to pay $100 million to a man who accused him of drugging and assaulting him. His attorney has labeled the prosecution as unjust and claims the allegations are meritless. Despite these serious legal challenges, Combs continues to be a prominent figure in the music industry.
