00:05City, and the reason why has just been revealed.
00:09Back in late March of this year, well-known rapper Diddy's homes in both Miami and Los
00:13Angeles were raided by the Department of Homeland Security.
00:17Later that month, law enforcement confirmed to the LA Times that the investigation is
00:21looking into sex trafficking allegations against the musician.
00:26Police have not been able to share much information as the investigation was ongoing, as law experts

00:39Late in the evening on Monday, September 16th, Diddy was arrested by FBI agents while at
00:43the Park Hyatt Hotel on West 57th Street in New York City.
00:48According to the newly unsealed indictment, part of the reason for Diddy's arrest is
00:51quote, creating a criminal enterprise whose members and associates engaged in, and attempted
00:57to engage in, among other crimes, sex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, arson, bribery,
01:04and obstruction of justice.
01:06The rapper's attorney, however, insisted that Diddy maintains some form of innocence, sharing,
01:11he is an imperfect person, but he is not a criminal.
01:14To his credit, Mr. Combs has been nothing but cooperative with this investigation, and
01:18he voluntarily relocated to New York last week.
01:21In anticipation of these charges, please reserve your judgment until you have all the
01:26facts.
01:27These are the acts of an innocent man with nothing to hide, and he looks forward to clearing
01:31his name in court.
