American music star Sean “Diddy” Combs has been arrested in Manhattan, New York. Several national US media confirmed this development following a grand jury indictment, likely related to several lawsuits filed against Combs that accuse him of sexual assault.
A criminal federal investigation had also been ongoing for months. The specific charges were not immediately clear. Combs was also seen on a video, first obtained by CNN in May, showing him violently beating his then-girlfriend Cassie Ventura in a Los Angeles hotel back in 2016.
Ventura filed a lawsuit against Combs last November, a matter he settled in one day denying any wrongdoing.
He apologised via a post on social media taking full responsibility, calling his actions inexcusable.
Combs was also accused in additional lawsuits of sexual assault and sex trafficking.
Federal agents raided his Los Angeles and Miami Beach, Florida home in March while seizing his electronic devices.
Combs’ attorney said they were disappointed with the decision to pursue what they believe is an unjust prosecution.
