In the last hours,
0:10
not one, not two, but three locations
0:13
rated 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.
