Music mogul Sean 'Diddy' Combs has been charged with three felony counts following his arrest in Manhattan late Monday.A federal indictment that was unsealed Tuesday revealed Combs was charged with sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution.Combs was in court in New York Tuesday morning to hear the charges brought against him.The indictment accuses Combs of abusing women for years and presiding over an empire of sexual crimes.
”“We are disappointed with the decision to pursue what we believe is an unjust prosecution of Mr. Combs by the U.S. Attorney’s Office. Sean 'Diddy' Combs is a music icon, self-made entrepreneur, loving family man, and proven philanthropist who has spent the last 30 years building an empire, adoring his children, and working to uplift the Black community. He is an imperfect person, but he is not a criminal,' Combs' attorney Marc Agnifilo said in a statement to Scripps News.
