Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Sean Combs arrested on unknown charges
Caption:
Sean Combs arrested on unknown charges. Sean Combs has been arrested after being indicted by a grand jury on unknown charges. The rapper was arrested in New York on Monday night and was taken into federal custody at the FBI office in Manhattan. Although it's not yet clear why he was arrested, he has had at least eight civil lawsuits taken out against him in the past year, including the suit from ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura for rape and abuse. Combs is also under federal criminal investigation after his homes were raided by authorities in March. The most recent lawsuit against him was filed last week by former Danity Kane singer, Dawn Richard, who claimed Combs "manipulated" her into thinking that "abuse and exploitation were required for female artists to succeed in the music industry.” She also claims she witnessed the singer abuse Ventura on multiple occasions. Combs’ lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, issued a statement saying: "We are disappointed with the decision to pursue what we believe is an unjust prosecution of Mr. Combs by the U.S. Attorney's Office.” He added that Diddy "is an imperfect person but is not criminal. To his credit Mr. Combs has been nothing but cooperative with this investigation and he voluntarily relocated to New York last week in anticipation of these charges.” “Please reserve your judgment until you have all the facts. These are the acts of an innocent man with nothing to hide, and he looks forward to clearing his name in court.”
