Sean 'Diddy' Combs' racketeering case is expected to ensnare others in his orbit. Questions remain unanswered about who else could be headed to court.
Hip-hop's 'Bad Boy' billionaire Sean 'Diddy' Combs is drawing comparisons to the late sex-trafficking financier Jeffrey Epstein, who used his power and connections to lure young women and girls to a private island, allegedly along with a network of wealthy friends. Now Combs is facing federal sex trafficking charges himself along with racketeering and other counts.
Attorney Damian Williams dodged questions about additional charges or defendants, and said the investigation is ongoing,' said Neama Rahmani, a former federal prosecutor who now runs a private practice in Los Angeles. 'Other members of the RICO conspiracy are criminally liable for the sex trafficking even if they didn’t actually participate in the sex acts. So, someone who bought the thousand bottles of baby oil or who gave the victims post-drug IVs could be charged as a co-conspirator.
And of course, anyone who actually participated in sex acts with Diddy should be shaking in their boots,' Rahmani said. 'There are multiple victims, many witnesses and likely video evidence of the ‘freak offs.’ Those individuals can and should be charged with sex trafficking or prostitution, depending on whether they used threats or force against the victims.
Depending on the facts that come out, it is similar to the Epstein case because you have a very wealthy, well-connected individual that believes that he is above the law,' he told Fox News Digital. 'While people give famous rich people the benefit of the doubt and often look the other way when they do bad things, the time for accountability always catches up to them.
