After months of speculation, Sean “Diddy” Combs has been arrested at the Park Hyatt Hotel in Manhattan. Police officers detained Combs yesterday after a grand jury indictment in New York, which is expected to be unsealed today. While they wait to hear the charges, Combs’ lawyers say he has been cooperating with investigations around sex trafficking and racketeering.

Sex trafficking is the recruitment, harboring, transportation, provision, obtaining, patronizing, or soliciting of a person for a commercial sex act in which the commercial sex act is induced by force, fraud, or coercion or in which the person is induced to perform such an act has not attained 18 years of age (22 USC § 7102).

Under the Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA) of 2000, human trafficking is punishable by imprisonment for up to life, fines, and asset forfeiture. 

Sean Combs’s legal trouble and accusations

In November 2023, Cassie Ventura, ex-girlfriend and one-time artist on the Bad Boy mogul’s label, sued for sexual and physical assault. She also said that he forced he to hire and perform sexual acts with prostitutes. She was drugged and coerced over their decade-long relationship to participate in “freak offs.” Eight women and a man have since come forward to sue Combs.

Sean Diddy Combs is among the most influential hip-hop music producers and artists. He is responsible for the careers of many notable musicians, including Mary J. Blige. His empire spans media, clothing, drinks, and more. Before Cassie’s suit, he was respected mainly and adored. That was until CNN shared footage of Diddy physically assaulting Cassie in a hotel in March this year. Then, in May, his home in Miami was raided by Homeland Security Agents. 

Combs will be the first music personality since R-Kelly to face charges of trafficking and related crimes. Over the years, Combs has gone by many names, including “Puffy,” “Puff,” Diddy, and most recently, “Love”.
