AceShowbiz - Sean "P. Diddy" Combs' home raids were not done randomly. An officer with the Department of Homeland Security claimed they were based on "concrete" allegations from victims.
"We believe that there is a disturbing history of sex trafficking," the officer said in a statement. "We are responding to concrete, detailed, explicit allegations. This is not random. We didn't choose his name out of a hat. We had allegations that we're following up on."
"You have to understand that we didn't just decide on a whim to search his homes. A federal judge had to sign off," the officer continued. "This isn't a witch hunt."
This arrived after Diddy's attorney, Aaron Dyer, bashed the feds for raids on the rapper's Los Angeles and Miami homes. Aaron condemned the "gross overuse of military-level force" and "excessive show of force" during the raids, emphasizing that Diddy's children and employees were treated in a hostile manner. He affirmed that Diddy was not detained but cooperated with authorities.
According to the lawyer, neither Diddy nor his family members have been arrested or restricted from traveling. He denounced the raids as a "witch hunt based on meritless accusations" made in civil lawsuits and stressed that Diddy is innocent and will fight to clear his name.
Homeland Security Investigations said the raids were part of an ongoing investigation involving sex trafficking. Diddy has faced allegations of sexual misconduct in recent months, including a lawsuit filed by ex-girlfriend Cassie, who accused him of rape in 2018. They settled the case out of court, but he has since faced more allegations from different people.
In response to the raids, attorney Douglas Wigdor, who represents Cassie, expressed support for law enforcement efforts. Douglas also expressed hope that it would lead to accountability for Combs' alleged "depraved conduct."
