not one, not two, but three locations

0:16

connected to the rap

0:18

mogul Sean Diddy

0:21

Combs. I mean to see,

0:23

Grace, this is Crime Stories. Thank you for being

0:25

with us here at Crime Stories and on

0:28

series XM one eleven. Why

0:32

Diddy? Why Sean Puffy Combs

0:35

as he was once known. Well,

0:37

according to what we are

0:39

learning, the raids

0:42

by the Feds, by HSI

0:44

Homeland Security investigators,

0:48

much of the PC probable

0:50

cause was gleaned from multiple

0:53

lawsuits filed against

0:56

Combs.

0:57

Now that's not just from what we're learning.

1:01

Combs' own lawyer spoke

1:03

out in a very unfortunate statement.

1:05

For Combs, you never

1:08

reveal your thinking prior

1:10

to a trial, but the

1:13

lawyer did. What are they saying that all these

1:15

victims are lying? I mean,

1:17

think about it. No one wants to see

1:19

the demise of a superstar, but

1:22

our superstars to be.

1:24

Held above the law.

1:26

Because I say no again,

1:29

I'm Nancy Grace. Thank you for being with us here

1:32

on Serious six SIM and at Crime Stories.

1:34

First of all, this is what we know happened.

1:38

Listen to Sidney Sumner Crime Online.

1:39

On Monday, large teams of law enforcement

1:42

led by Homeland Security investigators

1:44

rated three homes belonging to Sean Diddy

1:47

Combs in Los Angeles and Miami as

1:49

part of a sex trafficking investigation stemming

1:51

from accusations leveled against Combs

1:53

in five separate lawsuits brought against

1:56

him. The latest suit, filed in February

1:58

by music producer Rodney Rod

2:00

Jones, details frequent drug use,

2:02

of shooting, and several accounts of sex

2:04

assault while working with Combs on the Love

2:07

album.

2:07

That's what we know right now,

2:09

but there's more, and

2:12

I can tell you this much. When

2:14

the fans roll up in

2:16

armored vehicles wearing kevlar,

2:20

that's not good for you.

2:22

That's not good at all.

2:23

We're hearing a lot of whining this morning

2:26

by the defense about, oh, they messed

2:28

up the inside of his house.

2:30

Boo hoo. Listen to Dave Matt

2:32

Crime Online.

2:33

In the seventy three page document, Jones

2:35

claims that Combs forced him to solicit

2:37

sex workers and perform sex acts

2:39

with them as Combs looked on. Jones

2:41

also alleges the rapper through parties he

2:43

called freak Coughs, during which underage

2:46

girls and sex workers were given lace,

2:48

drinks and assaulted. Comb's son Justin,

2:50

producer Stevie Jay, and associate Brendan

2:53

Paul allegedly supplied the women

2:55

in drugs for the parties. The suit goes

2:57

on to say that Comb's access to major

2:59

celebrities, athletes, and even British

3:01

royals such as Prince Harry gave him

3:03

and his followers legitimacy.

3:05

With me an all star panel to make

3:07

sense of what we know right now, but for a straight

3:10

out. To Kila Brantley joining US investigative

3:13

reporter dailymail dot com, Kela,

3:15

thank you for being with us. Tell me what happened

3:17

because we saw simultaneous

3:19

raids. A lot has been made of that. Hold

3:22

on just a second, Kila. Let me go to Nima Romani,

3:24

joining US high profile lawyer and more

3:27

importantly, former federal prosecutor,

3:30

a president of the West Coast Trial Lawyers

3:32

Association and author of Harvard

3:35

to hashtag Nima, thank

3:37

you for being with us. A lot

3:40

has been made and a lot of whining and

3:43

crying because there were multiple

3:45

raids that.

3:46

Went down simultaneously.

3:48

Boo who The reason that

3:51

happens is so when you get raised

3:53

in LA, you can't call your

3:55

peeps in Miami.

3:56

Go quick, quick, quick, hide.

3:58

One, two, three and four, destroy five,

4:00

six, seven, and eight.

4:01

And ps run for

4:04

the hills as if you had seen a monster.

4:06

That's why it scott to be very carefully

4:08

orchestrated and timed, very

4:11

organized to go down at the same

4:14

time for that very reason, Nima.

4:16

Nancy, that's exactly right.

4:18

And the raid in Los Angeles

4:20

took place about a mile from where I'm sitting

4:22

right now. I live close to Ditty's

4:24

home. And you know, I also know Aaron

4:26

Dyer. I used to work with him. I respect

4:29

him, but I think he's making that argument

4:31

for the court of public.

4:32

Opinion more than the courtroom.

4:33

And you're right, there's three reasons why federal

4:35

agents go in and they go aggressively.

4:37

One, there's always a threat of violence.

4:39

And did he reportedly has a lot

4:42

of weapons. Agents need to make sure that

4:44

no one flees the jurisdiction, evidence

4:46

isn't destroyed. That's why the raids

4:49

are executed simultaneously.

4:51

When they are individuals are removed from the

4:53

home, they're cough, they're detained. No one was

4:55

arrested, but Diddy was treated just like

4:58

any other criminal defendant

5:01

or target of an investigation.

5:02

When these search warrants are executed.

5:04

Guys, what do you expect the HSI

5:07

Homeland Security investigators

5:10

to be the minute made and clean.

5:11

Up after a search. Yeah, that's not

5:14

happening, guys.

5:16

In the last hours, a lot of

5:19

whining and complaining

5:22

and switching of tail and gnashing.

5:24

Of teeth because the Feds

5:26

quote left.

5:26

A mess in Diddy's mansions. You

5:29

know what, It's

5:32

amazing what people will do

5:34

to hide contraband or

5:36

evidence. What evidence am I talking about?

5:39

Talking about videos? Potential

5:42

videos of underage

5:45

girls and boys in

5:47

the middle of sex acts now

5:50

number one? An underaged

5:52

child some jurisdictions

5:55

under eighteen, some under sixteen, some under

5:57

fifteen, cannot consent

6:00

to sex activity. So even

6:02

if they appear to be willing

6:04

in a video, does anybody remember r Kelly,

6:06

for Pete's sake, were he urinated

6:08

on a teen girl?

6:10

Yeah, that's not consensual. I don't care what she

6:12

said at the time.

6:14

Videos that could easily

6:16

be hidden even if they are in

6:19

physical form.

6:20

For all I know, they're just on a computer.

6:22

That's why every computer, every laptop,

6:25

every phone, every iPad, everything

6:28

has to be seized. And you know what, I'm waiting

6:30

on Nima Ramani, I'm

6:33

waiting on that return.

6:34

Explain what is a return, Ramani.

6:36

So there's a search one in an application, and when

6:39

the search one is executed, there's a return

6:41

that's filed with the court and identifies

6:44

all the property that's been seen. And like you

6:46

said, Nancy, what they're looking for here is evidence

6:48

of sex trafficking and the production of child

6:50

pornography. Reportedly, if you

6:52

believe these civil lawsuits, not only

6:55

were they sex.

6:55

Acts, they were recorded.

6:57

That's a crime, both in terms of the act and

7:00

according and we're talking about mandatory minimum

7:02

sentences.

7:02

So it's just probably.

7:03

Gonna be a matter of days before Diddy is

7:06

and dated, an indictment is unsealed.

7:08

Hermione again, you're

7:11

reading like you sound like

7:13

you're reading out of the farmer's

7:15

Almanac about the crop report

7:17

for next year.

7:19

Listen, Sean P.

7:23

Combs has been

7:26

targeted. Now everybody keeps

7:28

saying he's not the target. That's Bs,

7:31

because these are his homes on

7:34

two sides of the country.

7:36

The people at his.

7:37

Homes were put in handcuffs during

7:39

the search, and that is so pea stand and operating

7:41

procedure.

7:42

So nobody gets shot. There's

7:45

a lot of.

7:45

Whining going on about that too, But

7:47

in a home where you are looking for guns,

7:50

you do not leave the inhabitants

7:52

free to grab a gun and start

7:54

shooting, So stop whining about that too. Combs

7:59

is facing an indictment. I'm agreeing

8:01

with you. This is a big deal.

8:04

We're not reading the crop report for twenty twenty

8:06

five. This tells me

8:09

nobody is above the law,

8:12

not even Combs, whose net

8:14

worth is valued at over one billion. That's

8:17

with the bees and brother one billion

8:19

dollars Ramani.

8:20

No one is above the law. And really, the chickens are

8:22

coming home to Ruis.

8:23

This really started in November when ex

8:26

girlfriend Cassie filed that bombshell

8:28

lawsuit and she spilled

8:30

the tea, and obviously Diddy settled it the

8:33

following day.

8:34

But really it was too little, too late.

8:35

Here's someone that was in a ten year relationship

8:38

with Diddy, and once she filed,

8:40

she encouraged other alleged victims

8:43

to come forward, one after another,

8:45

and if you believe the reports, some of those

8:47

victims are already cooperating

8:49

with law enforcement.

8:50

And we know that there's enough.

8:52

Probable cause because a federal judge

8:54

signed off on these two search warrens,

8:56

so to be interesting to see what evidence

8:59

shows up in that return, what federal

9:02

agents pull from those electronics,

9:05

because that digital footprint, Nancy,

9:07

I think that's going to be the evidence that puts

9:09

Diddy away.

9:10

I think you're right because you can discount.

9:13

I can't, but some people discount eyewitnesses

9:15

and victims. But when you've got it on digital

9:18

proof, it's hard to argue

9:20

with that dynamite combination. You were just

9:22

seeing Cassie Ventura and

9:24

she's not some parasite

9:27

tic hanging on like some houcci

9:29

mama that's latched onto Sean

9:32

P.

9:32

Diddy Combs. She is a star in

9:34

her own right.

9:35

You saw her on album covers One was

9:37

a Long Way to Go, One was decene,

9:40

beautiful and talented. Now

9:42

hold on, I'm going to go straight out to Keila

9:45

Brantley joining US Investigator Reporter, Dailymail

9:47

dot Com. Kella again, thank you for

9:50

being with us. It did

9:52

all get kicked off with Cassie

9:54

Ventura's complaint explained.

9:56

Yeah, that was back in November.

9:58

Nancy. Cassie Venta they dated

10:00

for ten years. She was actually nineteen

10:02

years old and he was thirty seven

10:05

at the time when they began their

10:07

relationship.

10:07

Okay, whoa, whoa, whoa wait wait wait,

10:10

Kiela, let me allow that

10:12

to sow kim.

10:14

She was nineteen and he was thirty

10:16

seven. Did you just say.

10:18

That nearly twenty years her senior yep.

10:20

Go ahead, not judging yet,

10:22

not yet.

10:23

But she called the relationship abusive

10:25

controlling. She said that did

10:27

he forced her to have sex with male

10:29

prostitutes and watched and recorded

10:32

it. And in addition to that, she said

10:34

that he forced her to do drugs

10:37

and so many horrific

10:40

details there, and that went on for ten

10:42

years, and that it all culminated in twenty

10:44

eighteen when she tried to leave him, and

10:47

she says that he came and raped her. Now,

10:49

this is exactly the catalyst that sparked

10:52

all of the other lawsuits. Now he's facing

10:54

five lawsuits with a lot

10:56

of similar stories from these

10:58

alleged victims.

11:00

Killib Brantley, investigative reporter Daily

11:02

mail dot Com is exactly correct.

11:05

Cassie Ventura claims Combs

11:08

raped Ventura in her home

11:10

when she tried to leave him. Often

11:14

punched, beat kicked, stomped

11:16

her, resulting in bruises,

11:18

burst lips, black eyes and bleeding

11:21

blew up a man's car after

11:24

Diddy Combs learned the

11:26

man was romantically interested in miss Ventura

11:29

forced her to engage in sex acts with

11:31

male sex workers while masturbating

11:34

and filming the encounter.

11:36

Okay, yeah, that is

11:38

a video.

11:39

If it can be found, this jury will absolutely

11:42

see Combs masturbating

11:45

and filming the encounters

11:48

of miss Ventura being forced

11:50

into sex acts with male sex workers.

11:54

That he ran out of his apartment.

11:56

With a firearm in pursuit of a rival

11:58

industry exec demanded

12:01

miss Ventura carry his

12:03

firearm in her purse, and

12:06

introduced miss Ventia to a lifestyle

12:09

of excessive alcohol,

12:11

drugs, and required her

12:14

to procure illicit prescriptions

12:16

to satisfy his own addictions.

12:19

I'm reading directly from

12:21

her lawsuit. Now, remember that

12:23

is a private lawsuit that is not

12:26

a public government document.

12:29

So you got to take everything

12:33

that an ex claims

12:36

against another x with a

12:38

box of salt. But wait

12:40

a minute, isn't it true Caleb Brantley

12:43

that she sued him for about thirty million

12:45

dollars and they settled. Combs

12:48

actually paid her off to get rid of

12:50

the lawsuit.

12:51

They settled. Yep, they settled the

12:53

next day. As soon as the

12:55

lawsuit was filed, the news broke. The

12:58

next day, they settled the lawsuit for disclosed

13:00

amount. She was seeking thirty million

13:02

dollars, but we don't know how much they actually

13:05

settled for. Both of them came out with statements

13:07

saying that they wanted to settle

13:09

things privately. But in Diddy's

13:12

statement, he absolutely

13:14

did not admit any fault. He

13:16

said that this was handled privately

13:18

and wanted to move on. He called the allegations

13:21

baseless. And we've seen that pattern

13:24

just now with the raids on his

13:26

house.

13:27

Yeah, you're right, that's the same kind of thing they're claiming right

13:29

now. KILEB. Brantley.

13:31

Guys, this is just one

13:33

of multiple lawsuits filed against

13:35

Combs.

13:36

Sean P.

13:38

Dinny Combs, also known

13:40

as Ditty, also known as Puffy

13:57

Prime Stories with Nancy Grace, Let's

14:01

think about this thing.

14:03

Joining me is Shannon Henry.

14:05

She is the president and founder of sass

14:07

Go Surviving Assault Standing

14:10

Strong. It's a nonprofit. Shannon

14:12

Henry h. By the way, you can find

14:14

her at saasgo dot org. Shannon, thank

14:16

you for being with us. They are multiple

14:19

lawsuits five that I can think of

14:21

against Combs all claiming

14:24

sex assault and forcing

14:26

the victims into sex acts.

14:29

Now that's one thing. Five

14:31

claims and correct me if I'm wrong,

14:33

Caller Brantley, because I've got a ton of documents

14:36

and information I'm trying to absorb.

14:39

But here's the thing, Shannon

14:41

Henry. When you have one victim,

14:44

it's easy for the defense to say that's

14:46

a he says. She say, like, what is

14:48

that in the defense, it's a he says, She say, of.

14:50

Course it is.

14:52

But when you have two victims, then three,

14:54

then four, then five, then

14:59

is a jury supposed to be they're all

15:01

lying and he's the

15:03

only one telling the truth. Actually that

15:05

worked in the Michael Jackson case, so it

15:08

could work. But typically

15:10

in front of jury's a group

15:12

of victims, such as in Harvey Weinstein,

15:16

such as in Jeffrey Epstein, who

15:18

do you such as Bill Cosby, what

15:20

do you disbelieve? The cadre

15:23

of victims and choose to believe

15:25

they defend.

15:26

It right, We're seeing a pattern of abuse,

15:28

We're seeing a pattern of violence, and we're

15:30

seeing it over and over again from

15:32

each of these people that are coming forward and

15:34

listen, he's an equal opportunity

15:37

abuser, whether it was an eleventh

15:39

grader, a college student, or

15:42

it was one of his chefs. So

15:44

many people have come forward, even

15:46

the music producer, to complain about

15:48

his behavior and the trafficking

15:51

that it's going on. And let's call it what it

15:53

is. It is trafficking. It's one hundred and fifty

15:55

billion dollar industry. It

15:57

is abuse and assault and stalking on

16:00

steroids, and it's the second

16:02

most profitable illegal business

16:04

in the United States. And he's an active part

16:06

of it.

16:06

You know what you're leaving out of your formula,

16:09

Shannon, And everything

16:11

you just said is correct, by the way. I

16:13

remember my first human

16:16

trafficking case. Then it was called statutory

16:18

rape. The girl had just turned

16:20

fourteen. I'm getting chills

16:22

on my arm right now. And I looked

16:25

and I looked, and I looked for her, couldn't

16:27

find her. I went out every

16:30

day and I remember it was cold

16:32

outside and I was straight

16:34

out of law school. I had no money, I had the thinnest

16:36

coat ever. It was so cold,

16:40

and we would look and look and look.

16:42

Finally I get a call at like six

16:44

am in the morning.

16:46

I raised to the location. It's a flophouse.

16:49

Then on Stuart Avenue, which was the

16:51

avenue at the time for sex trading drugs,

16:54

and I went in where they said the girl was. I

16:56

looked at there were like five women. I came out like, it's

16:58

not a girl in there. Why did you get me here?

17:01

I need to be at the courthouse. And

17:03

they went go back in. Look at

17:05

the one in the white boots. I went back in,

17:08

Shannon, this was a little girl. She

17:11

had the fake hair, the

17:13

fake eyelashes, the

17:16

boustier, the height, the

17:19

mini skirt. If such as it

17:21

was, it

17:23

didn't look anything like a fourteen year

17:25

old little girl at She like a thirty five

17:28

year old drug addict.

17:30

Long story short.

17:32

She had been passed around and used

17:34

and taken from one place to the next,

17:37

and had, you know, fifteen to

17:39

twenty men rape

17:42

her a day. Okay,

17:46

That's what I'm talking about. And if

17:48

these allegations are true, Shannon

17:50

Henry Combs

17:54

is no better than

17:56

those two pimps.

17:58

And I would even beg

18:01

everyone to see too that there is

18:03

an institution, a brand, if

18:06

you will, of complicity that he's created

18:08

around him too. With his I

18:10

call him buddyguards, That's what the industry

18:13

calls them. People that have watched

18:15

this go on and been complicit in all

18:18

of it and enabled it in ways

18:20

by not acting and not responding

18:22

on behalf of the victim and what they're seeing

18:25

in front of them.

18:25

I want you to hear what

18:28

the impetus was for this

18:31

major, major search,

18:34

and I'm telling you to have HSI

18:36

Homeland Security investigators

18:40

roll up in front of Itty's mansion

18:43

and break in. They

18:45

went armed, they went wearing body

18:48

armor. They immediately

18:51

subdued and handcuffed everyone

18:53

in the home as they should have,

18:55

while simultaneously, across

18:58

the country, additional

19:00

locations venues connected to Sean

19:03

pay COB's were

19:06

searched and searched thoroughly.

19:08

Take listen to Sidney

19:10

Sumner Crime on Line.

19:12

Before producer Rodney Lilrod

19:14

Jones explosive lawsuit. Four more

19:16

alleged victims filed suit against Comb's.

19:19

The first came from an ex girlfriend R

19:21

and B singer Cassandra Cassie Ventura.

19:24

Ventura claims, in addition to physical

19:26

abuse occurring throughout their decade

19:28

long on and off relationship, Combs

19:30

coerced her to participate in what he called

19:32

freakofs which involved Ventura having

19:35

sex with male sex workers while Combs

19:37

watched, masturbated, and took videos

19:39

of the encounter. Combs also allegedly

19:41

broke into Ventura's home and raped her

19:43

after she broke off their relationship in twenty

19:46

eighteen. Three other lawsuits

19:48

followed. Ventura's. Joy Dickerson Neil

19:50

claims Combs drugged her at a nineteen ninety

19:52

one dinner date and later recorded himself

19:55

raping her. Liza Gardner's suit alleges

19:57

that Comb's and R and B singer Aaron assaulted

20:01

her and a friend at Hall's apartment when

20:03

she was just sixteen years old. An

20:05

anonymous victim details a two thousand

20:07

and three gang rate by Combe's and two

20:09

others at his New York studio. Combs

20:11

settled Venture's lawsuit just a day after

20:14

it was filed. The remaining four complaints

20:16

are still unresolved.

20:18

Doctor Delatory psychologist

20:20

and mediator who specializes in

20:22

forensic psychology. Doctor

20:25

Delatory, thank you for being with us. You know this

20:27

is what everybody is asking me, okay,

20:30

And the reason I care what anybody

20:33

says is because who's

20:36

going to be on that jury that's going to be

20:38

seated one day? He

20:40

can't like wiggle out of

20:42

a federal indictment if that happens.

20:45

We asked a defense attorney on He's

20:47

like, no way,

20:50

but I hope.

20:50

He joins us.

20:51

So, you know, a lot of

20:53

talk about how he was targeted, how

20:56

he's not the target yet, his home was.

20:58

Targeted, and blah

21:00

law.

21:01

But when you get a federal indictment shoved

21:03

up your rear end, it's kind of hard to get

21:05

out of that with just talking.

21:07

But this is what gurrs.

21:09

May wonder, because this is what is being asked

21:11

to me since the moment this hit the airwaves.

21:14

Why would a guy worth over.

21:16

One billion dollars bother

21:20

to drug miners some

21:23

is you only sixteen? Is the allegation and

21:26

video himself raping

21:29

them when he can have practically

21:31

any woman he wanted that

21:34

were after fame and fortune. See

21:36

to me, I don't care, But a juror

21:38

may wonder that what about it dilatory?

21:40

Well, because he can't. I mean, ultimately, this is

21:42

about the thrill that he was getting by exploiting

21:45

and embarrassing all of these individuals. A

21:47

lot of people talk about power and control

21:49

that these guys you know, who like to do these kinds

21:52

of abuses like to have the power and

21:54

control. But it's more than that when it comes to Diddio.

21:56

I mean we see things about violence

21:58

and drugs and guns. As was described

22:00

earlier, he's an equal opportunity

22:03

abuser.

22:03

This is God.

22:04

This is a guy who thinks money, power

22:06

respect is the be all and all that his

22:09

word is the word that goes and whatever

22:12

it is that suits his fancy, that's

22:14

what he's going to do. He's doing

22:16

it because he has the money to do it, and he

22:18

gets the thrill out of it. And this more

22:20

important to him is getting the thrill rather

22:23

than just having someone just come up to him

22:25

and offer themselves. There's no fun in that for

22:27

him. He wants to bring down and

22:29

embarrass, He wants to abuse, he

22:31

wants to inflict pain on individuals.

22:34

Okay, let me understand something, doctor delatory,

22:36

because obviously you have encountered this.

22:38

I've encountered it while prosecuting.

22:40

But so the thrill

22:43

is drugging someone and

22:45

raping them while they're they're totally

22:47

knocked out like Cosby.

22:50

That's the thrill.

22:51

That's the trill. That's absolutely the thrll, especially

22:53

if they're the ones that say no. The

22:56

more they say No, the more they struggle

22:58

against it, the harder that the

23:00

abuser is going to go, the more thrill

23:02

they get.

23:03

Out of it.

23:03

You know, I don't even like hearing you say that that's

23:05

true though, but I get it.

23:07

And that's what's gonna have to be explained

23:09

to a jury if this ever goes to a

23:12

jury.

23:12

Guys.

23:13

In addition to investigative reporter

23:15

Killa Brantley, Shannon Henry

23:17

from sas Doctor Delatory, and

23:19

high profile lawyer, former federal prosecutor

23:22

Nina Nima Romani, Oh, that reminds

23:24

me of something, Nema.

23:25

I was about to go to Barry Golden.

23:26

Hold on Barry uh former US

23:29

Marshall, And I'm telling you they don't play

23:31

uh.

23:32

Nima.

23:33

I was a FED for three years and

23:35

I nearly jumped out of

23:37

my skin because

23:39

we would have, for instance, in a case

23:41

I was working, we would have a whole

23:43

room full of boxes

23:46

of documents, and I'd be saying,

23:48

well, when do we actually get to do something?

23:51

When are we going to do the raid? When are we going to make

23:53

there is?

23:53

Because they're doing it right now,

23:56

why are we waiting?

23:59

So I'm telling you.

24:00

Naima, that the FEDS

24:03

had some serious p C

24:06

probable cause before they blast

24:08

up in comes his mansions.

24:10

Oh, you're absolutely right, And this

24:12

is an investigation that's being run out of the

24:14

Southern District of New York, probably the most

24:17

prestigious prosecutor's office in

24:19

the country.

24:19

They hire the brightest and the best.

24:22

So just because the raids were executed

24:24

in Los Angeles and Miami doesn't

24:26

mean the investigation started

24:28

here.

24:29

It started in New York, so they know what

24:31

they're doing.

24:32

And you know, Nancy, the Feds wait

24:34

until they have a made hand,

24:36

a bulletproof, ironclad case

24:38

before they go in. They have the luxury of waiting

24:41

of interviewing those witnesses, putting them

24:43

before the grand jury. Because once

24:45

you execute a search works like this, Evan

24:48

starts to disappear. People may disappear.

24:51

So this is the final step before

24:53

people start getting arrested.

24:55

It's the culmination of months and months

24:57

and months of working, if not longer.

25:00

Comes may have been on their radar for a while,

25:02

but.

25:03

These lawsuits basically shamed

25:05

the Feds into doing something they couldn't hold back

25:07

anymore. And see, they've got

25:09

what I don't have, and I pray

25:12

for it, Nima, because It's bit

25:14

me in the rear end many a time. I don't

25:16

have patience because see I'm thinking,

25:18

hey, while I'm waiting to

25:21

do something, he may

25:23

be molesting another girl, he

25:25

may be drugging another girl.

25:28

And see I'm thinking that. But they

25:31

think the long game.

25:33

The Feds think the long

25:35

game, which is it's a

25:37

fault of mine not to

25:40

play the long game.

25:41

But they're right.

25:44

If you want to win, you play

25:46

the long game, and you get every

25:48

tea crossed, every I dotted. Then

25:50

you move bottom line. When they

25:52

move on you, it's too

25:54

late for you.

25:55

You're dead.

25:56

It's over because they got the goods

25:58

on you. They're just not

26:01

going to make a move like this. And if they've got

26:03

a lot of evidence, guys joining me right

26:05

now, A guy I know you want to hear from former

26:08

US Marshall and owner now

26:10

of Golden Consulting at Golden

26:12

dashci dot com, Mary Golden,

26:15

A significant portion of this

26:18

case is criminal

26:20

enterprise.

26:21

Anybody jump in, We're not having high tay at

26:23

winsor Castle.

26:24

Please criminal enterprise,

26:27

which means a plan

26:30

more than one person is involved.

26:33

Even though this raid may have been sparked by

26:35

multiple lawsuits against Combs.

26:38

The defense have got to prove that there

26:40

was a criminal enterprise, and

26:43

they're using claims of sex

26:46

acts on other women men

26:48

in different states, traveling

26:51

or moving the victims in order

26:54

for them to have sex with

26:56

Combs or other people.

27:00

Why the aspect

27:02

of asportation, in other words, movement

27:05

is important in this case.

27:07

The conviction rate in the Southern District of Florida.

27:09

I prosecuted cases through the US Attorney's Office

27:13

for several years, and

27:15

the conviction rate in the Southern District of Florida

27:18

was ninety eight percent. So yes,

27:20

you are right.

27:21

When they bring.

27:23

The federal government, the US Attorney's Office

27:26

brings an indictment. If they do, they

27:28

have a lot of ammunition

27:31

on you. As Nima just mentioned that a

27:33

federal judge already found probable cause

27:35

that there is evidence

27:38

to conduct these searches that the

27:40

homes here in Miami and in

27:42

New York. But yes,

27:45

you're going to have numerous witnesses. I

27:47

think that this case is going to still take a long time

27:49

because you have so much evidence. You

27:52

have to bring in all these people.

27:55

Rodney Jones, you can only he can only

27:57

testify to what he witnessed and what happened

28:00

to him. You have to bring in other witnesses

28:02

that these alleged sex acts occurred

28:05

with. And so you're gonna have to find these witnesses,

28:07

interview these witnesses, bring them

28:09

in, lock them into a statement, and

28:11

then put all that into an indictment. So

28:14

I think you're still months away from

28:17

seeing an indictment. But there's so much

28:19

information that you're looking at here. You

28:21

just look at the civil complaint

28:23

by Rodney Jones, and it's very long.

28:25

There's so much information there. There are so

28:27

many allegations. You

28:30

know, there's a lot of information. But you

28:33

know the HSI

28:35

going in the attorney was complaining

28:37

about so many agents. Look at that compound

28:40

right there. Look how big that mansion

28:42

is. You need a lot of manpower.

28:45

And with the allegations of firearms

28:48

being at that location,

28:50

you never know how someone's going to react.

28:53

When as a federal agent you come in there

28:55

and you take control of their residents,

28:58

you don't know how they're going to react. You have to

29:00

have a lot of manpower and

29:03

a lot of bodies to secure that location

29:05

so a search can be conducted.

29:07

Barry Golden, I got one word

29:09

for you, Waco Waco.

29:13

Geting that yes, the Fed's moving.

29:16

Koresh gets all of his followers

29:19

who are all many of them molesting

29:21

little girls and their religion.

29:25

They fire on the

29:27

Feds and everything goes wild.

29:30

And I still remember seeing the video of

29:32

the flames and

29:34

the standoff and

29:36

the shootout when Fed's

29:39

moved in. And I've got to tell you something.

29:41

I've been on many searches

29:44

and arrests pursuit to warrant, of course.

29:47

And people don't take to it very kindly, and

29:49

they can reach a gun. You're in trouble. Into

29:51

story.

29:52

Here's another thing we see going on

29:54

to Kili Brantley joining US investigative

29:56

reporter Daily Mail. We know that Combs

29:59

is alleged drug mule

30:02

was arrested at the Miami airport at

30:05

the same time comes

30:08

as rappers sons are putting cuffs during the

30:10

raids on the mansions. Who

30:12

is the alleged drug meal. It's very

30:15

significant because the fans

30:17

are going to be looking for witnesses and

30:19

this alleged mule could

30:22

do life and Max

30:24

or he could ride out

30:27

Combs, what do you think he's going to do? Tell

30:29

me about the drug mule, The alleged

30:31

drug meal. Brandon Paul, aged twenty

30:33

five.

30:33

Yeah, so twenty five year old Brendan Paul.

30:36

He was arrested Monday as

30:38

these raids went on. He was arrested

30:40

out of Miami Airport and he was about

30:43

to board Combes's plane

30:45

to what was believed to be going to the

30:47

Caribbean. Now, when the

30:50

authorities checked his bags, they found

30:52

cocaine and last

30:55

candy, and so they arrested him for that. They

30:57

said that it's not directly involved.

31:00

It's not an arrest directly involved in the

31:02

raids. However, Homeland Security

31:04

did send officers there to check out

31:07

Colmes's plane. Now, this was

31:09

a guy from Ohio. He played

31:11

college basketball. We're not exactly

31:14

sure how he became involved

31:16

with Ditty, but according to the lawsuit

31:18

filed last month from producer Little

31:21

Rod, he was Ditty's alleged

31:23

drug mule.

31:38

Prime stories with me. It's he Grace. Okay.

31:41

So now we're looking at sex trafficking

31:44

and to you, Shannon Henry, to make out

31:47

joining us from SASS, which is surviving

31:49

assault, standing strong, to

31:52

make out sex trafficking. It's

31:55

not as hard as people think.

31:58

Explain what it means to say x

32:00

traffic someone.

32:01

Well, you know the way that people

32:03

are trafficked, they look for a

32:06

vulnerable population, whether

32:08

they're young, they're in a hard season of their

32:10

life, they're looking for fame, they're looking to

32:12

make.

32:13

It big, whatever it is.

32:15

They're going to use coercion. They're

32:17

going to force them with threats and stalking

32:19

and violence to

32:22

repay a debt, whatever it may be. And

32:24

we certainly see that here in Cassie's

32:26

story as well as the others. So

32:29

you've got this isolation that's happening,

32:31

this coercion, this power, and

32:33

then the most powerful weapon

32:36

of all is shame because on top

32:38

of all of this, you've got video of everything,

32:41

and they can shame them into complicity

32:43

and being quiet and silence is

32:45

ultimately the biggest evil. And I

32:48

agree bringing these people forward,

32:50

giving witnesses the ability

32:53

to testify will ultimately be what

32:55

really brings down the entire playbook.

32:59

And let's not forget the Fahim Mohammad

33:02

is also who is

33:04

helping, you know, behind the

33:06

scenes with all of this as Diddy's

33:08

director of security and he

33:11

worked previously for Michael Jackson.

33:13

Wow, that's quite the Cohen getting hump. Nima

33:16

Ramani is joining us NIMA,

33:19

now high profile lawyer and

33:21

the president of West Coast Trial Lawyers.

33:24

But important for me, former

33:26

federal prosecutor, what

33:29

about this? Nobody

33:31

likes to rite out a friend, right, Snitches

33:34

get stitches and all that. But

33:37

there's one guy, Fitty from

33:40

G Unit g Unit Rapper fifty

33:42

cents who.

33:44

Has been mocking diddy up for

33:46

a long time.

33:47

In fact, when this all went down, he states

33:50

is not did did he do it? It's did

33:53

he done it? Because they don't come after you until

33:55

they got a case. That's Simony's going on and on and

33:57

on.

33:57

Why do I care?

33:58

Because he may have

34:01

inside information, not just him, but

34:03

Usher, even

34:06

Bieber, justin Bieber.

34:09

And I'm not saying any of them are

34:11

responsible for any wrongdoing. I'm

34:13

saying that they obviously

34:17

have been around daring

34:20

some let me just say comes as

34:24

antics because

34:26

when Bieber was asked when he was a

34:28

teen boy, hey,

34:31

what happened when you were hanging

34:33

out with Combs? He said, well,

34:36

I can't say, but it's every fifteen

34:38

year old boy's dream.

34:41

Okay.

34:42

Usher has publicly stated that

34:45

he saw some quote, very curious

34:47

things when hanging out with Combs

34:50

and You've got Fiddy making

34:54

jokes and did

34:56

his expense explain they could turn up

34:58

to be witnesses.

34:58

Oh, no question.

35:00

You know fifty cent and Diddy's viewed is

35:02

pretty well documented. Fifty's actually

35:04

working on a documentary about all this.

35:06

But Nancy, this may well be a Jeff

35:08

Epstein type situation. We know Cuba

35:10

Gooding Junior, He's already been named in a civil

35:12

lawsuit. You know, Prince Harry's

35:15

name has been mentioned. And Diddy

35:18

rubs shoulders with rich and powerful

35:20

people here in Los Angeles, in all over

35:23

the world. So the question is going to

35:25

be who was there, what did they see, what

35:27

did they do? And I wouldn't be

35:29

surprised if more and more names

35:31

start being leaked that our

35:34

people that you know are very well

35:37

known that either are witnesses

35:39

or even worse, participated in some of these

35:41

sex acts.

35:42

Yeah, that's what I tell my children. Of course, this is

35:44

on a small scale.

35:45

You got to an event, you go to a party, you see

35:47

one taine dranking leaf, you

35:50

see one tanane with a joint.

35:52

Leave because if you stay

35:55

then you're part of it. You become part

35:57

of it. Whether you do anything wrong or not,

36:00

You're there. You are part of it. It's

36:02

called being a codefendant. Speaking

36:06

of Ussher, take

36:08

a listen to what Ussher had to say.

36:10

We're sending you to something called Puffy

36:12

Flavor Camp. You go to camp,

36:15

Yeah, that's what it was called. And you're going to go

36:17

to puff Daddy's He's hidden in nineties.

36:19

Do you understand what that's like. Puffy's place

36:21

was like just filled with chicks and orging like

36:24

NonStop.

36:24

Right, No, not really, I mean, but

36:27

hey, it was curious. I got a chance to see some things.

36:29

Yeah, but you were thirteen.

36:30

What we went there to see the lifestyle?

36:32

Right?

36:33

And I saw it. It was.

36:34

It was, but I don't know if I could indulge

36:36

and understand what I was even looking at.

36:38

It was.

36:39

It was pretty wild, Okay.

36:42

He went on to say that you'd

36:45

open a door and there would be people

36:47

in that room, multiple women

36:50

and men having orgies, a

36:52

totally different set of sex,

36:56

specifically always girls around.

36:59

This was when he was thirteen.

37:02

Now you're hearing Usher speaking

37:04

to Howard Stern and being

37:07

very very candid. Stern

37:09

has the ability to get

37:11

people to drop their guard and speak

37:14

as they would as if they were speaking to a longtime

37:16

friend in the privacy of their home

37:19

as you saw right there. And

37:21

I'm just wondering if, as this

37:23

case goes forward to Barry

37:26

Golden, former US Marshall,

37:28

if we're going to see more people their

37:31

high profile being forced

37:33

pursue it to subpoena

37:36

to speak out.

37:37

Yes, when you read in some of these civil

37:39

lawsuits, you see that there

37:41

are allegations that there are other

37:43

people, other witnesses, that

37:46

were there at the time when

37:48

these alleged criminal acts occurred.

37:50

So now the US Attorney's Office is

37:52

going to have to find those people, interview

37:55

those people, and then get

37:57

these people to be willing to test

38:00

against Sean P. Diddy, Colmbs,

38:03

this person who is a mega superstar

38:06

with millions and millions or billions

38:08

of dollars, and now they have

38:10

to be able to stand

38:13

up and face him in court and

38:15

say he did this, this, and

38:17

this. The US Attorney's

38:19

Office is going to have to find these people and bring

38:21

these people in and be willing to testify

38:24

against a mega superstar.

38:27

And people, very often, I

38:30

hate to say, don't come forward out of the goodness

38:32

of their heart.

38:33

They have to be forced. In other words,

38:35

you have.

38:36

To threaten them with unnamed

38:39

co conspirator status. It's

38:43

going to be tough exactly who

38:46

is a government and these alleged victims

38:49

up against? Take a listen

38:51

to our cut one Rachel Benia Crime Online.

38:54

Sean Combs aka Puff Daddy, P

38:56

Diddy and Brother Love is credited with

38:58

the development of several big names hip hop

39:00

artists, including Notorious Big and

39:02

Usher. Did His own music career is just as

39:04

impressive, with eleven number one singles, fourteen

39:07

nominations, and three Grammy Awards.

39:09

In addition to Combs's label, bad Boy

39:11

Records, the rap mogul Co founds the network

39:13

Revolt TV, and hosts several businesses

39:15

under the umbrella company Comb's Global. At

39:18

Forbes's last estimate, Combs had a net worth

39:20

of roughly one billion dollars.

39:23

Will they's alleged victims

39:25

stand up against colms

39:29

one billion dollars

39:34

at the last estimate, We

39:38

wait as just as unfalls.
