"How decades of alleged abuse caught up with Sean Combs — and what it says about how power protects the powerful"
What Happened?
In November 2023, Cassie Ventura filed a lawsuit alleging a decade of physical abuse and forced sex work. Combs settled within 24 hours — an attempt to contain the story that had the opposite effect. More lawsuits followed. In May 2024, CNN published hotel surveillance footage showing Combs assaulting Cassie in a hallway. His apology video backfired. Federal investigators raided his homes in March 2024. By September 2024, Combs was arrested and charged with sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation for prostitution. He was denied bail and held at MDC Brooklyn.
