S3X TRAFFICKING: Puff Daddy lands in police net after arrest in New York  

American music mogul Sean Puffy Combs popularly known in entertainment circles as Puff Daddy is now cooling his heels in police net following his arrest in New York as security operatives continue an investigation into s3x trafficking allegations against him.

Following his grand jury indictment, the rapper was hauled into jail by Homeland Security Investigations at 8:15 p.m. on Monday, September 16, at the Park Hyatt Hotel on 57th Street in Manhattan.

Attorney Marc Agnifilo for Mr. Combs stated he thought his client was facing charges of racketeering and s3x trafficking, but the indictment is sealed and the charges are not public knowledge.

He issued a statement saying: “We are disappointed with the decision to pursue what we believe is an unjust prosecution of Mr Combs by the US Attorney’s Office.”

Attorney Marc Agnifilo continued by saying that Combs had traveled to New York last week in preparation for the accusations made against him.

“He is an imperfect person, but he is not a criminal,” Attorney Agnifilo said.

The 54-year-old’s arrest coincides with an ongoing federal probe and a flurry of lawsuits alleging s3xual assault against him.
