The Sean Combs sex trafficking case
I have zero wish to dive too deeply into the details of the case against Sean “Diddy” Combs. The allegations are incredibly sordid, and similar to those against Epstein.
But Combs is an extremely famous, successful, and fabulously wealthy man. So here’s some of the story so far, if you’re interested:
Hip-hop’s “Bad Boy” billionaire Sean “Diddy” Combs is drawing comparisons to the late sex-trafficking financier Jeffrey Epstein, who used his power and connections to lure young women and girls to a private island, allegedly along with a network of wealthy friends.
Now Combs is facing federal sex trafficking charges himself along with racketeering and other counts.
His arrest at a New York City hotel came six months after Homeland Security agents raided his mansions in Miami and Los Angeles and nearly a year after a series of explosive lawsuits began naming him as an alleged sex trafficking and domestic abuser, claims apparently supported, in part, by the leak of security video showing an assault on his ex, Casandra “Cassie” Ventura, in a hotel hallway.
“This is like Epstein 2.0, if you think about it,” said David Gelman, a New Jersey-based defense attorney and former prosecutor. “You have a guy who is extremely rich and extremely powerful, just like Jeffrey Epstein was. You have him being charged with allegations that are inhumane and unheard of against women and potential minors for sex trafficking and sexually deviant acts, and the similarities are uncanny.”
Supposedly there are also videos.
Combs is being held without bail at the moment.
Sean Combs hasn’t been living any differently. For some reason, whatever protection he used to have is gone. Maybe tried to blackmail the wrong person, who knows.
In the case of Epstein, we know he was “trafficking”, but for some mysterious reason the authorities have no interest in running down to whom Epstein trafficked. Without customers there is no traffic.
In the case of Sean Combs I predict the same lack of curiosity will apply.
But why are the sellers the bad guys and not the buyers? If the buyers are out there, won’t more sellers pop up to “traffic” to them?
Some of the buyers who are not being charged may be uncomfortably close to high-level politicians.
@Kate:Some of the buyers who are not being charged may be uncomfortably close to high-level politicians.
You’ve got a typo, you wrote “may be uncomfortably close to” instead of “are”.
