Music mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs has been arrested in Manhattan, New York, following a grand jury indictment. Several U.S. media outlets confirmed the development, which comes after multiple lawsuits were filed against the artist, accusing him of sexual assault.

 

For months, a federal criminal investigation into Combs had been underway. However, the exact charges against the star have not yet been publicly disclosed.

 

One notable incident tied to the accusations was a 2016 video showing Combs violently assaulting his then-girlfriend, singer Cassie Ventura, in a Los Angeles hotel. The footage, first obtained by CNN in May, has resurfaced amid the growing legal battles. Ventura filed a lawsuit against Combs last November, which was quickly settled, although the artist denied any wrongdoing at the time. He issued a public apology on social media, calling his behavior "inexcusable" and taking responsibility for his actions.

 

Combs faces further legal troubles, including accusations of sexual assault and sex trafficking in additional lawsuits. In March, federal agents raided his homes in Los Angeles and Miami Beach, Florida, seizing electronic devices as part of their investigation.

 

Combs' legal team expressed disappointment with the decision to prosecute, calling it an "unjust" case. As the story unfolds, many are watching to see how the charges will develop in court.

 

This case is likely to have significant implications for the music icon's career and public image.
