Sean “Diddy” Combs’ Lawyer on Raids: “There Was a Gross Overuse of Military-Level Force”

Sean “Diddy” Combs’ lawyer states the songs magnate accepted authorities after his homes were invaded by government representatives, yet includes that “there was a gross overuse of military-level force” utilized when the raids happened.

A month after Combs was demanded sex trafficking and various other claims, representatives invaded the Grammy champion’s homes on Monday in Los Angeles, New York City and Miami. A rep for Homeland Safety and security Investigations New york city stated in a declaration that the raids were implemented“as part of an ongoing investigation, with assistance from HSI Los Angeles, HSI Miami and our local law enforcement partners.”

On Tuesday, Combs’ lawyer, Aaron Dyer, called the raids “gross” and stated the “unprecedented ambush [was] paired with an advanced, coordinated media presence.”

“Yesterday, there was a gross overuse of military-level force as search warrants were executed at Mr. Combs’ residences. There is no excuse for the excessive show of force and hostility exhibited by authorities or the way his children and employees were treated. Mr. Combs was never detained but spoke to and cooperated with authorities. Despite media speculation, neither Mr. Combs nor any of his family members have been arrested nor has their ability to travel been restricted in any way,” Dyer stated.

“This unprecedented ambush – paired with an advanced, coordinated media presence – leads to a premature rush to judgment of Mr. Combs and is nothing more than a witch hunt based on meritless accusations made in civil lawsuits. There has been no finding of criminal or civil liability with any of these allegations. Mr. Combs is innocent and will continue to fight every single day to clear his name,” he proceeded.

The occasions transpire one month after Combs was offered a sexual offense legal action from manufacturer Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones, that implicated Combs of bugging and trafficking him. The grievance was the 5th match submitted versus the rap artist considering that his previous long time companion and recording musician Cassie, that sued him in November for sexual offense, stated he repetitively raped and literally abused her for virtually a years. They later on got to a negotiation.

Cassie’s lawyer, Douglas Wigdor, stated on Monday that“we will always support law enforcement when it seeks to prosecute those that have violated the law. Hopefully, this is the beginning of a process that will hold Mr. Combs responsible for his depraved conduct.”

Succeeding fits versus Combs consist of complaints from a lady that was a small at the time of the claimed attack and a assert that Combs required Jones to obtain sex employees for the Bad Child Records creator. Numerous fits likewise declared that Combs drugged his targets, and one consisted of a insurance claim that he choked a lady till she lost consciousness, later on prompting her not to report the event.

Combs has actually regularly refuted all claims, claiming in a declaration last December that “I did not do any of the awful things being alleged.”
