Diddy was taken into federal custody last night and is expected to be arraigned in Manhattan later today.
Outside court Tuesday, Combs' attorney Marc Agnifilo said Combs' team"knew this was coming" and that's why Diddy was in New York, to surrender to authorities at a time agreeable to the U.S. attorney's officeon Monday, has been indicted on federal sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy charges, according to court papers unsealed in the Southern District of New York on Tuesday.
"As alleged, Combs used force, threats of force, and coercion to cause victims to engage in extended sexual performances with male commercial sex workers -- some of whom he transported or caused to be transported over state lines," Damian Williams, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, said during a Tuesday press conference."Combs allegedly planned and controlled the sexual performances which he called 'freak offs' and he often electronically recorded them.
In a statement released late Monday, Agnifilo said they were"disappointed with the decision to pursue what we believe is an unjust prosecution," calling the entertainment star"an imperfect person but is not criminal." Those search warrants had also been part of an investigation led by the U.S Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York.
