The raiding of Sean “Diddy” Combs’ properties is not to be taken lightly. “The Department of Homeland Security must have spent a significant amount of time investigating this case before launching such massive raids on Diddy’s properties. The fact that it has gotten to this point is a bad omen for Diddy, even though he is innocent until proven guilty,” Chambord Benton-Hayes shared with Nicki Swift.
She pointed out that Homeland Security looks into human trafficking and crimes against minors. “Considering one woman has sued Diddy and accused him of sex trafficking and raping her when she was 17 years old, the involvement of DHS could indicate that federal investigators are looking into that woman’s allegations for evidence of a crime, or that they have other individuals who are telling them something similar,” Benton-Hayes continued.
The lawyer told us that she foresees more lawsuits against Combs, similar to the wave of incidents coming to light after Bill Cosby and Harvey Weinstein’s cases. “It often takes victims of sexual abuse or harassment a lot of time to gather their courage to sue powerful people. After one victim sues, it often opens the floodgates for others,” Benton-Hayes stated. Although Cassie Ventura settled her suit against Diddy, the San Francisco-based litigator predicted that things might not be over for the singer in relation to her former alleged abuser.
