People in this story

On Sept. 16, federal law enforcement agents arrested Sean “Diddy” Combs and charged him with racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution after a months-long investigation into the musical artist and producer. 

The federal indictment accuses Combs of kidnapping, arson, bribery and assault in order to run a concealed sex trafficking ring.
