The Diddy Discussions: Part 1

**Discussion begins at 4:30**
In September of 2024, P. Diddy was indicted by a federal grand jury in Manhattan and charged with racketeering, sex trafficking by force, transportation for purposes of prostitution, narcotics charges, arson, assault. He was accused with creating “ a criminal enterprise in which he abused, threatened, and coerced women and others around him to fulfill his sexual desires, protect his reputation, and conceal his conduct". He has obviously pled not guilty and has been denied bail, so he remains in custody at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. On October 1, 2024, the Washington Post reported that a team of lawyers will be filing as many as 120 more lawsuits, covering assaults that took place during the 2000s and 2010s. There are 120 plaintiffs, 25 of whom were minors with the youngest being 9 years old. They are both male and female, and half of the alleged victims say they reported the assault to police, to a doctor, or to the FBI. There are apparently 3,000 abuse allegations, and over 100 additional cases being actively examined. Prosecutors announced that there are more co-defendants to be named, and they said, "The names that we're going to name, assuming our investigators confirm and corroborate what we've been told, are names that will shock you. I'm talking here about not just the cowardly but complicit bystanders, that is those people that we know watched this behavior occur and did nothing. And I'm talking about the people that participated, encouraged it, egged it on. They know who they are."
