Sean "Diddy" Combs' homes in Los Angeles and Miami have been raided by Homeland Security Investigations agents and other law enforcement officers due to a possible ongoing sex trafficking investigation, U.S. officials confirmed Monday.
"Earlier today, Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) New York executed law enforcement actions as part of an ongoing investigation, with assistance from HSI Los Angeles, HSI Miami, and our local law enforcement partners," HSI said in a statement. "We will provide further information as it becomes available."
Combs has faced multiple sexual assault allegations in recent months.
Two women accused the music mogul of sexual abuse in November last year, one week after he settled a separate lawsuit with the singer Cassie that contained allegations of rape and physical abuse.
The women's lawsuits were filed on the eve of the Adult Survivors Act, a New York law permitting victims of sexual abuse a one-year window to file civil action regardless of the statute of limitations.
A new allegation emerged in December 2023 against Combs and two other individuals, accusing them of participating in the gang rape of a 17-year-old girl in 2003. The details were disclosed in civil court documents that were submitted to the United States District Court Southern District of New York. The woman's legal action was initiated under New York City's law against gender-motivated violence.
Recently, a male music producer brought forward a lawsuit alleging that Combs sexually assaulted him and coerced him into engaging in sexual activities with escorts.
