investigators have reportedly flown over to London over concerns that British women may have been abused by Diddy, who faces federal charges of sex trafficking.
US investigators have flown to London over investigate P Diddy’s movements over here.
They’ve reportedly been met with British detectives to work on a probe into the disgraced rapper, who is charged with sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, drug possession, and arson in America. The hip-hop star, who has denied all criminal charges against him, made regular visits to the UK.
A US source told the Mirror: “Wherever he went, the team are now following. Outside of the States, he enjoyed no place more than the UK. Given the huge amount of time he spent in London, in case his alleged offending was not confined to America.
They added: “Prosecutors are imploring anyone in the UK who may have information they feel could help the investigation to get in touch.” The team are being led by Damian Williams, the prosecutor who helped jail Ghislaine Maxwel for 20 years for procuring girls for paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
The 54-year-old rapper has been locked up at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center and has been denied bail. He was arrested two weeks ago over allegations dating back to 2008, and prosecutors have obtained flight records that detail his travel history to the UK.
He has made numerous high-profile visits to the UK, such as when he attended Sir Elton John’s White Tie and Tiara Ball at the music legend’s Windsor mansion. He also performed at the Concert for Diana at Wembley and was pictured backstage with Prince William and Harry.
Diddy, real name Sean Combs, also visited Britain when he filmed and promoted the 2010 film Get Him to the Greek, which also starred Russell Brand.
t’s alleged Diddy created “a criminal enterprise whose members and associates engaged in, and attempted to engage in, among other crimes, sex trafficking, forced labour, kidnapping, arson, bribery and obstruction of justice”. The allegations were laid out in a federal indictment against the musician, who has pleaded not guilty to charges of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking.
The indictment alleged that he held what he called “Freak Offs”. They were allegedly sex performances in which he drugged and coerced the victims into sex acts with male sex workers, which, according to the indictment, sometimes lasted multiple days.
The 14-page indictment accuses the rapper of violently assaulting and coercing women to “fulfil his sexual desires”. He was arrested at a New York hotel on September 16 and faces a minimum of 15 years in prison if found guilty.
