P Diddy arrested in New York City
Sean Combs, known as P Diddy, has been arrested in New York City on unspecified federal charges, according to reports from CBS, citing federal authorities. The arrest follows earlier raids on his Los Angeles and Miami properties in March, as part of an ongoing federal investigation into sex trafficking.
Combs’s lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, expressed disappointment over the arrest, maintaining that his client is “an innocent man.”
The music icon has been battling a series of serious allegations in recent years, ranging from sexual assault to abuse, including accusations from his former partner, Casandra “Cassie” Ventura. Combs has denied all claims. He is also facing civil lawsuits, with allegations including the rape of a minor and attempts to coerce a producer into unwanted sexual acts.
The arrest is reportedly linked to a continuing investigation by US Homeland Security, according to multiple law enforcement sources.
