The morning after music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs was taken into custody by Homeland Security agents following an indictment by a grand jury, court documents obtained by FOX 11 reveal he was hit with three federal charges.
Combs has been charged with racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution.
In the 14-page document, Combs is accused of turning his business empire into a criminal enterprise, allowing the Bad Boy Records founder and his associates to engage in sex trafficking, sex labor and other crimes.
The grand jury has been taking testimony from several of his accusers over the last couple of months. They voted to indict him on Monday and his arrest at the luxury Park Hyatt in Manhattan came soon after. As of Tuesday morning, Diddy remains in federal custody.
Combs’ attorney Marc Agnifilo said he’s not guilty of all charges and that his client voluntarily came to New York to start the case.
Diddy hit with federal charges
Sean “Diddy” Combs has been indicted on sex trafficking and racketeering charges.
The arrest comes after a series of sexual assault allegations against Combs. The indictment lists the defendant as Sean Combs and his stage names “Puff Daddy”, “P. Diddy”, “Diddy”, “PD “and “Love.” It details several shocking allegations that mirror what was detailed in previous lawsuits filed by Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones and Danity Kane’s Dawn Richard.
