Rap mogul arrested after sex trafficking investigation

Sean “Diddy” Combs, the subject of two federal raids and a sex trafficking investigation, was arrested in Manhattan on Monday.

Combs' attorney Marc Agnifilo confirmed the news in a statement to USA TODAY, saying, “We are disappointed in the U.S. Attorney's Office's decision to pursue what we believe is an unjustified prosecution of Mr. Combs.”

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the music mogul was taken into custody after being indicted by a grand jury. The specific charges are not yet clear.

“Combs is a music icon, a self-made entrepreneur, a loving family man and a proven philanthropist who has spent the last 30 years building an empire, adoring his children and advocating for the advancement of the black community. He is not a perfect person, but he is not a criminal,” the statement continued. “To his credit, Mr. Combs has been consistently cooperative with this investigation and voluntarily relocated to New York last week in anticipation of these charges. Please reserve judgment until you know all of the facts. These are the actions of an innocent man with nothing to hide and he looks forward to clearing his name in court.”
