Homeland Security Investigations' federal sex trafficking probe comes after series of civil lawsuits cast scrutiny on hip-hop mogul Sean 'Diddy' Combs.
Hip-hop mogul Sean 'Diddy' Combs won't be able to buy his way out of trouble if the federal sex-trafficking probe against him uncovers any crimes, according to a former investigator. Two of the Bad Boy Records founder's mansions were raided last week after a series of damning civil lawsuits accused him of trafficking sex, guns and drugs and other bad behavior.
Combs and his then-girlfriend, the pop megastar Jennifer Lopez, were arrested after a December 1999 shooting at Club New York left three people injured. Lopez was never charged. Combs and another man were acquitted at trial. But his friend and protege, the rapper Jamal 'Shyne' Barrow, served a decade in prison for assault.
Jones' lawsuit alleges that Lopez snuck a gun into the club for Combs and handed it to her boyfriend before gunfire erupted and injured three people. A surviving victim, Natania Reuben, told NewsNation last week that she watched Combs shoot her in the face – not Barrow. literally watched them pull out the guns,' she told the station. 'I had a clear point of view. I mean, for God's sake, I got shot in my nose.' It's unlikely that Combs could be in trouble for the nightclub shooting, Parker said, because there's typically no federal nexus for a local gunfight, especially after he was already acquitted at trial.
