In response to recent home raids conducted by the Department of Homeland Security as part of a sex trafficking investigation, Diddy and his attorney Aaron Dyer have issued a strong statement condemning the actions as an “unprecedented ambush” and a “witch hunt.”
Dyer criticized the use of excessive force during the execution of search warrants at Diddy’s residences, emphasizing that neither Diddy nor any of his family members were arrested or had their ability to travel restricted. Diddy cooperated with authorities but was not detained.
The statement denounces the media speculation surrounding the investigation, asserting that there has been no finding of criminal or civil liability against Diddy. It characterizes the accusations as meritless and based on civil lawsuits, affirming Diddy’s innocence and commitment to clearing his name.
On the day of the search and seizure, Homeland Security Investigations released a statement confirming their involvement in the ongoing investigation, with assistance from various law enforcement agencies.
The investigation stemmed from accusations made by Diddy’s ex-girlfriend Cassie, alleging domestic abuse, and another individual, Jane Done, accusing Diddy of gang-raping her when she was 17 years old. The situation continues to unfold as authorities pursue the investigation further.
