Cassie, the ex-girlfriend of Sean “Diddy” Combs, has reportedly been cooperating with federal investigators in a sex trafficking case involving the music mogul. She was the first person to come forward with allegations of rape and abuse against Combs, claiming that he had subjected her to violence and forced her to engage in sexual activities with male prostitutes. She began working with law enforcement several weeks before raids were conducted on Combs’ properties in Los Angeles and Miami. Several other women are also said to be in communication with federal investigators regarding the case.
Homeland Security conducted searches at both of Combs’ primary residences after obtaining search warrants from New York’s Southern District federal court. Cassie and other witnesses are providing information to authorities as they look into the allegations of sex trafficking. The lawsuit that Cassie filed against Combs in November detailed the abuse she experienced during their relationship. Combs denied all the claims made against him and the case was privately settled within 24 hours. Since then, additional people, including producer Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones, have accused Combs of sexual assault.
Jones filed a lawsuit in February alleging that Combs repeatedly sexually assaulted him between 2022 and 2023. The accusations included unwanted sexual advances and being forced into sexual acts with sex workers. Combs has denied these allegations. One month following the filing of Jones’ lawsuit, federal agents carried out raids on Combs’ properties where his sons were briefly detained for questioning. Combs has not been arrested or charged with a crime, and his attorney has referred to the raids as a “witch hunt” based on meritless accusations in civil lawsuits.
The raids on Combs’ properties were heavily scrutinized for being “overtly militarized,” with fully armed officers conducting searches while Combs’ sons were placed in handcuffs. Combs himself was not present during the raids and has been keeping a low profile at his Florida home. His attorney has emphasized that the accusations made against Combs are baseless and part of a media-driven rush to judgment. Despite the investigations and allegations, Combs has not faced legal repercussions as of now. If you or someone you know has been affected by any of the issues raised in these cases, it is important to seek support through designated hotlines such as the Sexual Assault Hotline.
