1
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:12,280
Speaker 1: In the last hours, not one, not two, but three

2
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 1: locations rated locations connected to the rap mogul Sean Diddy Combs.

3
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 1: I mean to see, Grace, this is Crime Stories. Thank

4
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 1: you for being with us here at Crime Stories and

5
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:34,240
Speaker 1: on series XM one eleven. Why Diddy? Why Sean Puffy

6
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 1: Combs as he was once known. Well, according to what

7
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 1: we are learning, the raids by the Feds, by HSI

8
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:51,479
Speaker 1: Homeland Security investigators, much of the PC probable cause was

9
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 1: gleaned from multiple lawsuits filed against Combs.

10
00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 2: Now that's not just from what we're learning.

11
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 1: Combs' own lawyer spoke out in a very unfortunate statement.

12
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 1: For Combs, you never reveal your thinking prior to a trial,

13
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 1: but the lawyer did. What are they saying that all

14
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,960
Speaker 1: these victims are lying? I mean, think about it. No

15
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 1: one wants to see the demise of a superstar, but

16
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:24,039
Speaker 1: our superstars to be.

17
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 2: Held above the law.

18
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 1: Because I say no again, I'm Nancy Grace. Thank you

19
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 1: for being with us here on Serious six SIM and

20
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 1: at Crime Stories. First of all, this is what we

21
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 1: know happened. Listen to Sidney Sumner Crime Online.

22
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 3: On Monday, large teams of law enforcement led by Homeland

23
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 3: Security investigators rated three homes belonging to Sean Diddy Combs

24
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 3: in Los Angeles and Miami as part of a sex

25
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 3: trafficking investigation stemming from accusations leveled against Combs in five

26
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 3: separate lawsuits brought against him. The latest suit, filed in

27
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 3: February by music producer Rodney Rod Jones, details frequent drug use,

28
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 3: of shooting, and several accounts of sex assault while working

29
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 3: with Combs on the Love album.

30
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 1: That's what we know right now, but there's more, and

31
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 1: I can tell you this much. When the fans roll

32
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 1: up in armored vehicles wearing kevlar, that's not good for you.

33
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 2: That's not good at all.

34
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 1: We're hearing a lot of whining this morning by the

35
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 1: defense about, oh, they messed up the inside of his house.

36
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 2: Boo hoo. Listen to Dave Matt Crime Online.

37
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 4: In the seventy three page document, Jones claims that Combs

38
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 4: forced him to solicit sex workers and perform sex acts

39
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 4: with them as Combs looked on. Jones also alleges the

40
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 4: rapper through parties he called freak Coughs, during which underage

41
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 4: girls and sex workers were given lace, drinks and assaulted.

42
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:53,360
Speaker 4: Comb's son Justin, producer Stevie Jay, and associate Brendan Paul

43
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 4: allegedly supplied the women in drugs for the parties. The

44
00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 4: suit goes on to say that Comb's access to major celebrities, athletes,

45
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 4: and even British royals such as Prince Harry gave him

46
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:05,399
Speaker 4: and his followers legitimacy.

47
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,359
Speaker 1: With me an all star panel to make sense of

48
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 1: what we know right now, but for a straight out.

49
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 1: To Kila Brantley joining US investigative reporter dailymail dot com, Kela,

50
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 1: thank you for being with us. Tell me what happened

51
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:21,519
Speaker 1: because we saw simultaneous raids. A lot has been made

52
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: of that. Hold on just a second, Kila. Let me

53
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 1: go to Nima Romani, joining US high profile lawyer and

54
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: more importantly, former federal prosecutor, a president of the West

55
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 1: Coast Trial Lawyers Association and author of Harvard to hashtag Nima,

56
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 1: thank you for being with us. A lot has been

57
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 1: made and a lot of whining and crying because there

58
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 1: were multiple raids that.

59
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 2: Went down simultaneously.

60
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 1: Boo who The reason that happens is so when you

61
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: get raised in LA, you can't call your peeps in Miami.

62
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 2: Go quick, quick, quick, hide.

63
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 1: One, two, three and four, destroy five, six, seven, and eight.

64
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 2: And ps run for the hills as if you had

65
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 2: seen a monster.

66
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 1: That's why it scott to be very carefully orchestrated and timed,

67
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 1: very organized to go down at the same time for

68
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:16,600
Speaker 1: that very reason, Nima.

69
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 5: Nancy, that's exactly right.

70
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 6: And the raid in Los Angeles took place about a

71
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 6: mile from where I'm sitting right now. I live close

72
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 6: to Ditty's home. And you know, I also know Aaron Dyer.

73
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 6: I used to work with him. I respect him, but

74
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,479
Speaker 6: I think he's making that argument for the court of public.

75
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 5: Opinion more than the courtroom.

76
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,280
Speaker 6: And you're right, there's three reasons why federal agents go

77
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,279
Speaker 6: in and they go aggressively. One, there's always a threat

78
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 6: of violence. And did he reportedly has a lot of weapons.

79
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 6: Agents need to make sure that no one flees the jurisdiction,

80
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:51,479
Speaker 6: evidence isn't destroyed. That's why the raids are executed simultaneously.

81
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 6: When they are individuals are removed from the home, they're cough,

82
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 6: they're detained. No one was arrested, but Diddy was treated

83
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 6: just like any other criminal defendant or target of an investigation.

84
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 5: When these search warrants are executed.

85
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 1: Guys, what do you expect the HSI Homeland Security investigators

86
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 1: to be the minute made and clean.

87
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 2: Up after a search. Yeah, that's not happening, guys.

88
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 1: In the last hours, a lot of whining and complaining

89
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 1: and switching of tail and gnashing.

90
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 2: Of teeth because the Feds quote left.

91
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 1: A mess in Diddy's mansions. You know what, It's amazing

92
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 1: what people will do to hide contraband or evidence. What

93
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 1: evidence am I talking about? Talking about videos? Potential videos

94
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 1: of underage girls and boys in the middle of sex

95
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 1: acts now number one? An underaged child some jurisdictions under eighteen,

96
00:05:56,200 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 1: some under sixteen, some under fifteen, cannot consent to sex activity.

97
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:05,280
Speaker 1: So even if they appear to be willing in a video,

98
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 1: does anybody remember r Kelly, for Pete's sake, were he

99
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 1: urinated on a teen girl?

100
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's not consensual. I don't care what she said

101
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 2: at the time.

102
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 1: Videos that could easily be hidden even if they are

103
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 1: in physical form.

104
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 2: For all I know, they're just on a computer.

105
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 1: That's why every computer, every laptop, every phone, every iPad,

106
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 1: everything has to be seized. And you know what, I'm

107
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:34,479
Speaker 1: waiting on Nima Ramani, I'm waiting on that return.

108
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 2: Explain what is a return, Ramani.

109
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 6: So there's a search one in an application, and when

110
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:42,159
Speaker 6: the search one is executed, there's a return that's filed

111
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,840
Speaker 6: with the court and identifies all the property that's been seen.

112
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 6: And like you said, Nancy, what they're looking for here

113
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 6: is evidence of sex trafficking and the production of child pornography. Reportedly,

114
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 6: if you believe these civil lawsuits, not only were they sex.

115
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:57,280
Speaker 5: Acts, they were recorded.

116
00:06:57,760 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 6: That's a crime, both in terms of the act and

117
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,799
Speaker 6: according and we're talking about mandatory minimum sentences.

118
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:04,160
Speaker 5: So it's just probably.

119
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,679
Speaker 6: Gonna be a matter of days before Diddy is and dated,

120
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 6: an indictment is unsealed.

121
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 1: Hermione again, you're reading like you sound like you're reading

122
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 1: out of the farmer's Almanac about the crop report for

123
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 1: next year.

124
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 2: Listen, Sean P.

125
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 1: Combs has been targeted. Now everybody keeps saying he's not

126
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 1: the target. That's Bs, because these are his homes on

127
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 1: two sides of the country.

128
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 2: The people at his.

129
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 1: Homes were put in handcuffs during the search, and that

130
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 1: is so pea stand and operating procedure.

131
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 2: So nobody gets shot. There's a lot of.

132
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 1: Whining going on about that too, But in a home

133
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 1: where you are looking for guns, you do not leave

134
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 1: the inhabitants free to grab a gun and start shooting,

135
00:07:55,240 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 1: So stop whining about that too. Combs is facing an indictment.

136
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 1: I'm agreeing with you. This is a big deal. We're

137
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 1: not reading the crop report for twenty twenty five. This

138
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 1: tells me nobody is above the law, not even Combs,

139
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 1: whose net worth is valued at over one billion. That's

140
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 1: with the bees and brother one billion dollars Ramani.

141
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 5: No one is above the law. And really, the chickens

142
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 5: are coming home to Ruis.

143
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 6: This really started in November when ex girlfriend Cassie filed

144
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 6: that bombshell lawsuit and she spilled the tea, and obviously

145
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 6: Diddy settled it the following day.

146
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:35,719
Speaker 5: But really it was too little, too late.

147
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,439
Speaker 6: Here's someone that was in a ten year relationship with Diddy,

148
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:43,320
Speaker 6: and once she filed, she encouraged other alleged victims to

149
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 6: come forward, one after another, and if you believe the reports,

150
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 6: some of those victims are already cooperating with law enforcement.

151
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 5: And we know that there's enough.

152
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 6: Probable cause because a federal judge signed off on these

153
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,559
Speaker 6: two search warrens, so to be interesting to see what

154
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 6: evidence shows up in that return, what federal agents pull

155
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 6: from those electronics, because that digital footprint, Nancy, I think

156
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,559
Speaker 6: that's going to be the evidence that puts Diddy away.

157
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 1: I think you're right because you can discount. I can't,

158
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 1: but some people discount eyewitnesses and victims. But when you've

159
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 1: got it on digital proof, it's hard to argue with

160
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 1: that dynamite combination. You were just seeing Cassie Ventura and

161
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:29,200
Speaker 1: she's not some parasite tic hanging on like some houcci

162
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,199
Speaker 1: mama that's latched onto Sean P.

163
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 2: Diddy Combs. She is a star in her own right.

164
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,719
Speaker 1: You saw her on album covers One was a Long

165
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:42,560
Speaker 1: Way to Go, One was decene, beautiful and talented. Now

166
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: hold on, I'm going to go straight out to Keila

167
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 1: Brantley joining US Investigator Reporter, Dailymail dot Com. Kella again,

168
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 1: thank you for being with us. It did all get

169
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:56,319
Speaker 1: kicked off with Cassie Ventura's complaint explained.

170
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:58,439
Speaker 5: Yeah, that was back in November.

171
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 7: Nancy. Cassie Venta they dated for ten years. She was

172
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 7: actually nineteen years old and he was thirty seven at

173
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 7: the time when they began their relationship.

174
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:11,680
Speaker 1: Okay, whoa, whoa, whoa wait wait wait, Kiela, let me

175
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 1: allow that to sow kim.

176
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 2: She was nineteen and he was thirty seven. Did you

177
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 2: just say.

178
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 7: That nearly twenty years her senior yep.

179
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,960
Speaker 2: Go ahead, not judging yet, not yet.

180
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 7: But she called the relationship abusive controlling. She said that

181
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:30,719
Speaker 7: did he forced her to have sex with male prostitutes

182
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 7: and watched and recorded it. And in addition to that,

183
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:37,440
Speaker 7: she said that he forced her to do drugs and

184
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,960
Speaker 7: so many horrific details there, and that went on for

185
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 7: ten years, and that it all culminated in twenty eighteen

186
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 7: when she tried to leave him, and she says that

187
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 7: he came and raped her. Now, this is exactly the

188
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:53,840
Speaker 7: catalyst that sparked all of the other lawsuits. Now he's

189
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 7: facing five lawsuits with a lot of similar stories from

190
00:10:58,520 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 7: these alleged victims.

191
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:04,560
Speaker 1: Killib Brantley, investigative reporter Daily mail dot Com is exactly correct.

192
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 1: Cassie Ventura claims Combs raped Ventura in her home when

193
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 1: she tried to leave him. Often punched, beat kicked, stomped her,

194
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 1: resulting in bruises, burst lips, black eyes and bleeding blew

195
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 1: up a man's car after Diddy Combs learned the man

196
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: was romantically interested in miss Ventura forced her to engage

197
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:34,679
Speaker 1: in sex acts with male sex workers while masturbating and

198
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 1: filming the encounter.

199
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, that is a video.

200
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:42,840
Speaker 1: If it can be found, this jury will absolutely see

201
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:50,200
Speaker 1: Combs masturbating and filming the encounters of miss Ventura being

202
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 1: forced into sex acts with male sex workers.

203
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 2: That he ran out of his apartment.

204
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 1: With a firearm in pursuit of a rival industry exec

205
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 1: demanded miss Ventura carry his firearm in her purse, and

206
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 1: introduced miss Ventia to a lifestyle of excessive alcohol, drugs,

207
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 1: and required her to procure illicit prescriptions to satisfy his

208
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 1: own addictions. I'm reading directly from her lawsuit. Now, remember

209
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:27,080
Speaker 1: that is a private lawsuit that is not a public

210
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:34,560
Speaker 1: government document. So you got to take everything that an

211
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 1: ex claims against another x with a box of salt.

212
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 1: But wait a minute, isn't it true Caleb Brantley that

213
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 1: she sued him for about thirty million dollars and they settled.

214
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 1: Combs actually paid her off to get rid of the lawsuit.

215
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,680
Speaker 7: They settled. Yep, they settled the next day. As soon

216
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 7: as the lawsuit was filed, the news broke. The next day,

217
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 7: they settled the lawsuit for disclosed amount. She was seeking

218
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 7: thirty million dollars, but we don't know how much they

219
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 7: actually settled for. Both of them came out with statements

220
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 7: saying that they wanted to settle things privately. But in

221
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 7: Diddy's statement, he absolutely did not admit any fault. He

222
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 7: said that this was handled privately and wanted to move on.

223
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 7: He called the allegations baseless. And we've seen that pattern

224
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 7: just now with the raids on his house.

225
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right, that's the same kind of thing they're

226
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 2: claiming right now. KILEB. Brantley.

227
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 1: Guys, this is just one of multiple lawsuits filed against Combs.

228
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:37,439
Speaker 2: Sean P.

229
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 1: Dinny Combs, also known as Ditty, also known as Puffy

230
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 1: Prime Stories with Nancy Grace, Let's think about this thing.

231
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:04,840
Speaker 2: Joining me is Shannon Henry.

232
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,840
Speaker 1: She is the president and founder of sass Go Surviving

233
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 1: Assault Standing Strong. It's a nonprofit. Shannon Henry h. By

234
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,680
Speaker 1: the way, you can find her at saasgo dot org. Shannon,

235
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 1: thank you for being with us. They are multiple lawsuits

236
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 1: five that I can think of against Combs all claiming

237
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 1: sex assault and forcing the victims into sex acts. Now

238
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 1: that's one thing. Five claims and correct me if I'm wrong,

239
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 1: Caller Brantley, because I've got a ton of documents and

240
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 1: information I'm trying to absorb. But here's the thing, Shannon Henry.

241
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 1: When you have one victim, it's easy for the defense

242
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 1: to say that's a he says. She say, like, what

243
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 1: is that in the defense, it's a he says, She say, of.

244
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 2: Course it is.

245
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 1: But when you have two victims, then three, then four,

246
00:14:55,920 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 1: then five, then is a jury supposed to be they're

247
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 1: all lying and he's the only one telling the truth.

248
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 1: Actually that worked in the Michael Jackson case, so it

249
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 1: could work. But typically in front of jury's a group

250
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 1: of victims, such as in Harvey Weinstein, such as in

251
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein, who do you such as Bill Cosby, what

252
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 1: do you disbelieve? The cadre of victims and choose to

253
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 1: believe they defend.

254
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 8: It right, We're seeing a pattern of abuse, We're seeing

255
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 8: a pattern of violence, and we're seeing it over and

256
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 8: over again from each of these people that are coming

257
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 8: forward and listen, he's an equal opportunity abuser, whether it

258
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 8: was an eleventh grader, a college student, or it was

259
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 8: one of his chefs. So many people have come forward,

260
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 8: even the music producer, to complain about his behavior and

261
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 8: the trafficking that it's going on. And let's call it

262
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 8: what it is. It is trafficking. It's one hundred and

263
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 8: fifty billion dollar industry. It is abuse and assault and

264
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 8: stalking on steroids, and it's the second most profitable illegal

265
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 8: business in the United States. And he's an active part

266
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 8: of it.

267
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 1: You know what you're leaving out of your formula, Shannon,

268
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 1: And everything you just said is correct, by the way.

269
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 1: I remember my first human trafficking case. Then it was

270
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 1: called statutory rape. The girl had just turned fourteen. I'm

271
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 1: getting chills on my arm right now. And I looked

272
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 1: and I looked, and I looked for her, couldn't find her.

273
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 1: I went out every day and I remember it was

274
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 1: cold outside and I was straight out of law school.

275
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 1: I had no money, I had the thinnest coat ever.

276
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 1: It was so cold, and we would look and look

277
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 1: and look. Finally I get a call at like six

278
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 1: am in the morning.

279
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 2: I raised to the location. It's a flophouse.

280
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 1: Then on Stuart Avenue, which was the avenue at the

281
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 1: time for sex trading drugs, and I went in where

282
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 1: they said the girl was. I looked at there were

283
00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 1: like five women. I came out like, it's not a

284
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 1: girl in there. Why did you get me here? I

285
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 1: need to be at the courthouse. And they went go

286
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 1: back in. Look at the one in the white boots.

287
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:10,359
Speaker 1: I went back in, Shannon, this was a little girl.

288
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 1: She had the fake hair, the fake eyelashes, the boustier,

289
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 1: the height, the mini skirt. If such as it was,

290
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:26,120
Speaker 1: it didn't look anything like a fourteen year old little

291
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:29,240
Speaker 1: girl at She like a thirty five year old drug addict.

292
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:31,880
Speaker 2: Long story short.

293
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:35,680
Speaker 1: She had been passed around and used and taken from

294
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:39,120
Speaker 1: one place to the next, and had, you know, fifteen

295
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 1: to twenty men rape her a day. Okay, That's what

296
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 1: I'm talking about. And if these allegations are true, Shannon

297
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 1: Henry Combs is no better than those two pimps.

298
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:02,680
Speaker 8: And I would even beg everyone to see too that

299
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:06,639
Speaker 8: there is an institution, a brand, if you will, of

300
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 8: complicity that he's created around him too. With his I

301
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 8: call him buddyguards, That's what the industry calls them. People

302
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 8: that have watched this go on and been complicit in

303
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:20,919
Speaker 8: all of it and enabled it in ways by not

304
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:24,359
Speaker 8: acting and not responding on behalf of the victim and

305
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:25,720
Speaker 8: what they're seeing in front of them.

306
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:30,639
Speaker 1: I want you to hear what the impetus was for

307
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:35,640
Speaker 1: this major, major search, and I'm telling you to have

308
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 1: HSI Homeland Security investigators roll up in front of Itty's

309
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 1: mansion and break in. They went armed, they went wearing

310
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 1: body armor. They immediately subdued and handcuffed everyone in the

311
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 1: home as they should have, while simultaneously, across the country,

312
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:06,640
Speaker 1: additional locations venues connected to Sean pay COB's were searched

313
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 1: and searched thoroughly. Take listen to Sidney Sumner Crime on Line.

314
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 3: Before producer Rodney Lilrod Jones explosive lawsuit. Four more alleged

315
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 3: victims filed suit against Comb's. The first came from an

316
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:25,159
Speaker 3: ex girlfriend R and B singer Cassandra Cassie Ventura. Ventura claims,

317
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:28,680
Speaker 3: in addition to physical abuse occurring throughout their decade long

318
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:32,119
Speaker 3: on and off relationship, Combs coerced her to participate in

00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 3: what he called freakofs which involved Ventura having sex with

320
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 3: male sex workers while Combs watched, masturbated, and took videos

321
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 3: of the encounter. Combs also allegedly broke into Ventura's home

322
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 3: and raped her after she broke off their relationship in

323
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:50,640
Speaker 3: twenty eighteen. Three other lawsuits followed. Ventura's. Joy Dickerson Neil

Speaker 3: claims Combs drugged her at a nineteen ninety one dinner

325
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:57,320

327
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 3: her and a friend at Hall's apartment when she was

328
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:07,120
Speaker 3: just sixteen years old. An anonymous victim details a two

329
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 3: thousand and three gang rate by Combe's and two others

330
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 3: at his New York studio. Combs settled Venture's lawsuit just

331
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:16,680
Speaker 3: a day after it was filed. The remaining four complaints

332
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:17,960
Speaker 3: are still unresolved.

333
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 1: Doctor Delatory psychologist and mediator who specializes in forensic psychology.

334
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:27,439
Speaker 1: Doctor Delatory, thank you for being with us. You know

335
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 1: this is what everybody is asking me, okay, And the

336
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:36,119
Speaker 1: reason I care what anybody says is because who's going

337
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:38,479
Speaker 1: to be on that jury that's going to be seated

338
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 1: one day? He can't like wiggle out of a federal

339
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 1: indictment if that happens. We asked a defense attorney on

340
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 1: He's like, no way, but I hope.

341
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:51,440
Speaker 2: He joins us.

342
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:54,959
Speaker 1: So, you know, a lot of talk about how he

343
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 1: was targeted, how he's not the target yet, his home was.

344
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 2: Targeted, and blah law.

345
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 1: But when you get a federal indictment shoved up your

346
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 1: rear end, it's kind of hard to get out of

347
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:07,120
Speaker 1: that with just talking.

348
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 2: But this is what gurrs.

349
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 1: May wonder, because this is what is being asked to

350
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 1: me since the moment this hit the airwaves.

351
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 2: Why would a guy worth over.

352
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 1: One billion dollars bother to drug miners some is you

353
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 1: only sixteen? Is the allegation and video himself raping them

354
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 1: when he can have practically any woman he wanted that

355
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:37,920
Speaker 1: were after fame and fortune. See to me, I don't care,

356
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 1: But a juror may wonder that what about it dilatory?

357
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:43,160
Speaker 9: Well, because he can't. I mean, ultimately, this is about

358
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:46,199
Speaker 9: the thrill that he was getting by exploiting and embarrassing

359
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 9: all of these individuals. A lot of people talk about

360
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 9: power and control that these guys you know, who like

361
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:53,680
Speaker 9: to do these kinds of abuses like to have the

362
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:55,639
Speaker 9: power and control. But it's more than that when it

363
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 9: comes to Diddio. I mean we see things about violence

364
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:01,680
Speaker 9: and drugs and guns. As was described earlier, he's an

365
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 9: equal opportunity abuser.

366
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:04,160
Speaker 5: This is God.

367
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 9: This is a guy who thinks money, power respect is

368
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:10,359
Speaker 9: the be all and all that his word is the

369
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:13,920
Speaker 9: word that goes and whatever it is that suits his fancy,

370
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 9: that's what he's going to do. He's doing it because

371
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 9: he has the money to do it, and he gets

372
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:21,159
Speaker 9: the thrill out of it. And this more important to

373
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:24,400
Speaker 9: him is getting the thrill rather than just having someone

374
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 9: just come up to him and offer themselves. There's no

375
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:29,119
Speaker 9: fun in that for him. He wants to bring down

376
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 9: and embarrass, He wants to abuse, he wants to inflict

377
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:33,960
Speaker 9: pain on individuals.

378
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 1: Okay, let me understand something, doctor delatory, because obviously you

379
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 1: have encountered this.

380
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 2: I've encountered it while prosecuting.

381
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:45,920
Speaker 1: But so the thrill is drugging someone and raping them

382
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:49,120
Speaker 1: while they're they're totally knocked out like Cosby.

383
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 2: That's the thrill.

384
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:54,240
Speaker 9: That's the trill. That's absolutely the thrll, especially if they're

385
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:57,159
Speaker 9: the ones that say no. The more they say No,

386
00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:00,480
Speaker 9: the more they struggle against it, the harder that the

387
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 9: abuser is going to go, the more thrill they get.

388
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:03,440
Speaker 5: Out of it.

389
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:05,480
Speaker 1: You know, I don't even like hearing you say that

390
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 1: that's true though, but I get it. And that's what's

391
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 1: gonna have to be explained to a jury if this

392
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:12,480
Speaker 1: ever goes to a jury.

393
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 2: Guys.

394
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 1: In addition to investigative reporter Killa Brantley, Shannon Henry from

395
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:22,399
Speaker 1: sas Doctor Delatory, and high profile lawyer, former federal prosecutor

396
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 1: Nina Nima Romani, Oh, that reminds me of something, Nema.

397
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:27,160
Speaker 2: I was about to go to Barry Golden.

398
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:30,200
Speaker 1: Hold on Barry uh former US Marshall, And I'm telling

399
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 1: you they don't play uh.

400
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:32,680
Speaker 2: Nima.

401
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,919
Speaker 1: I was a FED for three years and I nearly

402
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 1: jumped out of my skin because we would have, for instance,

403
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:43,199
Speaker 1: in a case I was working, we would have a

404
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 1: whole room full of boxes of documents, and I'd be saying, well,

405
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:50,880
Speaker 1: when do we actually get to do something?

406
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:52,679
Speaker 2: When are we going to do the raid? When are

407
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 2: we going to make there is?

408
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:57,920
Speaker 1: Because they're doing it right now, why are we waiting?

409
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:00,640
Speaker 2: So I'm telling you.

410
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:06,640
Speaker 1: Naima, that the FEDS had some serious p C probable

411
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 1: cause before they blast up in comes his mansions.

412
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 6: Oh, you're absolutely right, And this is an investigation that's

413
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,160
Speaker 6: being run out of the Southern District of New York,

414
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 6: probably the most prestigious prosecutor's office in the country.

415
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 5: They hire the brightest and the best.

416
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 6: So just because the raids were executed in Los Angeles

417
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 6: and Miami doesn't mean the investigation started here.

418
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 5: It started in New York, so they know what they're doing.

419
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 6: And you know, Nancy, the Feds wait until they have

420
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:39,679
Speaker 6: a made hand, a bulletproof, ironclad case before they go in.

421
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 6: They have the luxury of waiting of interviewing those witnesses,

422
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 6: putting them before the grand jury. Because once you execute

423
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 6: a search works like this, Evan starts to disappear. People

424
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:54,200
Speaker 6: may disappear. So this is the final step before people

425
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:55,199
Speaker 6: start getting arrested.

426
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:58,399
Speaker 1: It's the culmination of months and months and months of working,

427
00:24:58,520 --> 00:24:59,520
Speaker 1: if not longer.

428
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 2: Comes may have been on their radar for a while, but.

429
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:06,959
Speaker 1: These lawsuits basically shamed the Feds into doing something they

430
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 1: couldn't hold back anymore. And see, they've got what I

431
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 1: don't have, and I pray for it, Nima, because It's

432
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 1: bit me in the rear end many a time. I

433
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 1: don't have patience because see I'm thinking, hey, while I'm

434
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:25,240
Speaker 1: waiting to do something, he may be molesting another girl,

435
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 1: he may be drugging another girl.

436
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 2: And see I'm thinking that. But they think the long game.

437
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 1: The Feds think the long game, which is it's a

438
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 1: fault of mine not to play the long game.

439
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:43,639
Speaker 2: But they're right.

440
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:47,160
Speaker 1: If you want to win, you play the long game,

441
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 1: and you get every tea crossed, every I dotted. Then

442
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 1: you move bottom line. When they move on you, it's

443
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:55,879
Speaker 1: too late for you.

444
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:56,359
Speaker 2: You're dead.

445
00:25:56,640 --> 00:26:00,560
Speaker 1: It's over because they got the goods on you. They're

446
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:02,359
Speaker 1: just not going to make a move like this. And

447
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:05,080
Speaker 1: if they've got a lot of evidence, guys joining me

448
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:06,879
Speaker 1: right now, A guy I know you want to hear

449
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 1: from former US Marshall and owner now of Golden Consulting

450
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 1: at Golden dashci dot com, Mary Golden, A significant portion

451
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:21,400
Speaker 1: of this case is criminal enterprise.

452
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:24,479
Speaker 2: Anybody jump in, We're not having high tay at winsor Castle.

453
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 1: Please criminal enterprise, which means a plan more than one

454
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:35,159
Speaker 1: person is involved. Even though this raid may have been

455
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:39,360
Speaker 1: sparked by multiple lawsuits against Combs. The defense have got

456
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 1: to prove that there was a criminal enterprise, and they're

457
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:48,879
Speaker 1: using claims of sex acts on other women men in

458
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:54,199
Speaker 1: different states, traveling or moving the victims in order for

459
00:26:54,280 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 1: them to have sex with Combs or other people. Why

460
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:06,639
Speaker 1: the aspect of asportation, in other words, movement is important

461
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:07,480
Speaker 1: in this case.

462
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:09,879
Speaker 10: The conviction rate in the Southern District of Florida. I

463
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:14,840
Speaker 10: prosecuted cases through the US Attorney's Office for several years,

464
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 10: and the conviction rate in the Southern District of Florida

465
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 10: was ninety eight percent. So yes, you are right.

466
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:23,440
Speaker 5: When they bring.

467
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:27,240
Speaker 10: The federal government, the US Attorney's Office brings an indictment.

468
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:31,440
Speaker 10: If they do, they have a lot of ammunition on you.

469
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:35,000
Speaker 10: As Nima just mentioned that a federal judge already found

470
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:39,400
Speaker 10: probable cause that there is evidence to conduct these searches

471
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 10: that the homes here in Miami and in New York.

472
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:47,640
Speaker 10: But yes, you're going to have numerous witnesses. I think

473
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:49,440
Speaker 10: that this case is going to still take a long

474
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 10: time because you have so much evidence. You have to

475
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:57,200
Speaker 10: bring in all these people. Rodney Jones, you can only

476
00:27:57,320 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 10: he can only testify to what he witnessed and what

477
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:02,359
Speaker 10: happened to him. You have to bring in other witnesses

478
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:06,119
Speaker 10: that these alleged sex acts occurred with. And so you're

479
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:09,560
Speaker 10: gonna have to find these witnesses, interview these witnesses, bring

480
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:12,200
Speaker 10: them in, lock them into a statement, and then put

481
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:15,399
Speaker 10: all that into an indictment. So I think you're still

482
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 10: months away from seeing an indictment. But there's so much

483
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:22,080
Speaker 10: information that you're looking at here. You just look at

484
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:25,640
Speaker 10: the civil complaint by Rodney Jones, and it's very long.

485
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:29,040
Speaker 10: There's so much information there. There are so many allegations.

486
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:33,479
Speaker 10: You know, there's a lot of information. But you know

487
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:38,120
Speaker 10: the HSI going in the attorney was complaining about so

488
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 10: many agents. Look at that compound right there. Look how

489
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 10: big that mansion is. You need a lot of manpower.

490
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:50,080
Speaker 10: And with the allegations of firearms being at that location,

491
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 10: you never know how someone's going to react. When as

492
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 10: a federal agent you come in there and you take

493
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 10: control of their residents, you don't know how they're going

494
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:02,400
Speaker 10: to react. You have to have a lot of manpower

495
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:05,719
Speaker 10: and a lot of bodies to secure that location so

496
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:07,240
Speaker 10: a search can be conducted.

497
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:13,040
Speaker 1: Barry Golden, I got one word for you, Waco Waco.

498
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:15,200
Speaker 5: Geting that yes, the Fed's moving.

499
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 1: Koresh gets all of his followers who are all many

500
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 1: of them molesting little girls and their religion. They fire

501
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 1: on the Feds and everything goes wild. And I still

502
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:36,560
Speaker 1: remember seeing the video of the flames and the standoff

503
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:40,920
Speaker 1: and the shootout when Fed's moved in. And I've got

504
00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:44,480
Speaker 1: to tell you something. I've been on many searches and

505
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 1: arrests pursuit to warrant, of course.

506
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:49,400
Speaker 2: And people don't take to it very kindly, and they

507
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:52,080
Speaker 2: can reach a gun. You're in trouble. Into story.

508
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:55,680
Speaker 1: Here's another thing we see going on to Kili Brantley

509
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 1: joining US investigative reporter Daily Mail. We know that Combs

510
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:04,920
Speaker 1: is alleged drug mule was arrested at the Miami airport

511
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 1: at the same time comes as rappers sons are putting

512
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 1: cuffs during the raids on the mansions. Who is the

513
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 1: alleged drug meal. It's very significant because the fans are

514
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 1: going to be looking for witnesses and this alleged mule

515
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:27,480
Speaker 1: could do life and Max or he could ride out Combs,

516
00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 1: what do you think he's going to do? Tell me

517
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 1: about the drug mule, The alleged drug meal. Brandon Paul,

518
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 1: aged twenty five.

519
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:36,480
Speaker 7: Yeah, so twenty five year old Brendan Paul. He was

520
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 7: arrested Monday as these raids went on. He was arrested

521
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 7: out of Miami Airport and he was about to board

522
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 7: Combes's plane to what was believed to be going to

523
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:51,960
Speaker 7: the Caribbean. Now, when the authorities checked his bags, they

524
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:57,000
Speaker 7: found cocaine and last candy, and so they arrested him

525
00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 7: for that. They said that it's not directly involved. It's

526
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 7: not an arrest directly involved in the raids. However, Homeland

527
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:08,760
Speaker 7: Security did send officers there to check out Colmes's plane. Now,

528
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 7: this was a guy from Ohio. He played college basketball.

529
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 7: We're not exactly sure how he became involved with Ditty,

530
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:20,560
Speaker 7: but according to the lawsuit filed last month from producer

531
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 7: Little Rod, he was Ditty's alleged drug mule.

532
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 2: Prime stories with me. It's he Grace. Okay.

533
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 1: So now we're looking at sex trafficking and to you,

534
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:48,720
Speaker 1: Shannon Henry, to make out joining us from SASS, which

535
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:53,960
Speaker 1: is surviving assault, standing strong, to make out sex trafficking.

536
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:59,320
Speaker 1: It's not as hard as people think. Explain what it

537
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 1: means to say x traffic someone.

538
00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:05,000
Speaker 8: Well, you know the way that people are trafficked, they

539
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 8: look for a vulnerable population, whether they're young, they're in

540
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:11,560
Speaker 8: a hard season of their life, they're looking for fame,

541
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:13,240
Speaker 8: they're looking to make.

542
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 2: It big, whatever it is.

543
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:18,320
Speaker 8: They're going to use coercion. They're going to force them

544
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 8: with threats and stalking and violence to repay a debt,

545
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:25,800
Speaker 8: whatever it may be. And we certainly see that here

546
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:29,640
Speaker 8: in Cassie's story as well as the others. So you've

547
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 8: got this isolation that's happening, this coercion, this power, and

548
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 8: then the most powerful weapon of all is shame because

549
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:40,880
Speaker 8: on top of all of this, you've got video of everything,

550
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:44,760
Speaker 8: and they can shame them into complicity and being quiet

551
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:48,520
Speaker 8: and silence is ultimately the biggest evil. And I agree

552
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:54,000
Speaker 8: bringing these people forward, giving witnesses the ability to testify

553
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 8: will ultimately be what really brings down the entire playbook.

554
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:03,920
Speaker 8: And let's not forget the Fahim Mohammad is also who

555
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:07,120
Speaker 8: is helping, you know, behind the scenes with all of

556
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 8: this as Diddy's director of security and he worked previously

557
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 8: for Michael Jackson.

558
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:16,920
Speaker 1: Wow, that's quite the Cohen getting hump. Nima Ramani is

559
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 1: joining us NIMA, now high profile lawyer and the president

560
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:26,800
Speaker 1: of West Coast Trial Lawyers. But important for me, former

561
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:32,560
Speaker 1: federal prosecutor, what about this? Nobody likes to rite out

562
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 1: a friend, right, Snitches get stitches and all that. But

563
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:42,160
Speaker 1: there's one guy, Fitty from G Unit g Unit Rapper

564
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 1: fifty cents who.

565
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:47,560
Speaker 2: Has been mocking diddy up for a long time.

566
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 1: In fact, when this all went down, he states is

567
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:53,840
Speaker 1: not did did he do it? It's did he done it?

568
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:56,080
Speaker 1: Because they don't come after you until they got a case.

569
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:57,719
Speaker 1: That's Simony's going on and on and on.

570
00:33:57,880 --> 00:33:58,640
Speaker 2: Why do I care?

571
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:04,320
Speaker 1: Because he may have inside information, not just him, but Usher,

572
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:10,719
Speaker 1: even Bieber, justin Bieber. And I'm not saying any of

573
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:15,600
Speaker 1: them are responsible for any wrongdoing. I'm saying that they

574
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:21,399
Speaker 1: obviously have been around daring some let me just say

575
00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:28,719
Speaker 1: comes as antics because when Bieber was asked when he

576
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:33,480
Speaker 1: was a teen boy, hey, what happened when you were

577
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 1: hanging out with Combs? He said, well, I can't say,

578
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:39,840
Speaker 1: but it's every fifteen year old boy's dream.

579
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:41,760
Speaker 2: Okay.

580
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:47,120
Speaker 1: Usher has publicly stated that he saw some quote, very

581
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:51,160
Speaker 1: curious things when hanging out with Combs and You've got

582
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 1: Fiddy making jokes and did his expense explain they could

583
00:34:57,680 --> 00:34:58,800
Speaker 1: turn up to be witnesses.

584
00:34:58,960 --> 00:34:59,720
Speaker 5: Oh, no question.

585
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:03,440
Speaker 6: You know fifty cent and Diddy's viewed is pretty well documented.

586
00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:07,480
Speaker 6: Fifty's actually working on a documentary about all this. But Nancy,

587
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:10,200
Speaker 6: this may well be a Jeff Epstein type situation. We

588
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:12,600
Speaker 6: know Cuba Gooding Junior, He's already been named in a

589
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 6: civil lawsuit. You know, Prince Harry's name has been mentioned.

590
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:21,560
Speaker 6: And Diddy rubs shoulders with rich and powerful people here

591
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:24,239
Speaker 6: in Los Angeles, in all over the world. So the

592
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:26,279
Speaker 6: question is going to be who was there, what did

593
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:29,279
Speaker 6: they see, what did they do? And I wouldn't be

594
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:33,759
Speaker 6: surprised if more and more names start being leaked that

595
00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:37,880
Speaker 6: our people that you know are very well known that

596
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:41,360
Speaker 6: either are witnesses or even worse, participated in some of

597
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:42,160
Speaker 6: these sex acts.

598
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:44,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I tell my children. Of course, this

599
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:45,320
Speaker 2: is on a small scale.

600
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:47,280
Speaker 1: You got to an event, you go to a party,

601
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:52,000
Speaker 1: you see one taine dranking leaf, you see one tanane

602
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:55,640
Speaker 1: with a joint. Leave because if you stay then you're

603
00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:58,480
Speaker 1: part of it. You become part of it. Whether you

604
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:02,160
Speaker 1: do anything wrong or not, You're there. You are part

605
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:07,280
Speaker 1: of it. It's called being a codefendant. Speaking of Ussher,

606
00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:10,359
Speaker 1: take a listen to what Ussher had to say.

607
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:13,640
Speaker 11: We're sending you to something called Puffy Flavor Camp. You

608
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:16,759
Speaker 11: go to camp, Yeah, that's what it was called. And

609
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:19,480
Speaker 11: you're going to go to puff Daddy's He's hidden in nineties.

610
00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:22,080
Speaker 11: Do you understand what that's like. Puffy's place was like

611
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:24,640
Speaker 11: just filled with chicks and orging like NonStop.

612
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:28,440
Speaker 2: Right, No, not really, I mean, but hey, it was curious.

613
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:29,760
Speaker 2: I got a chance to see some things.

614
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:30,760
Speaker 11: Yeah, but you were thirteen.

615
00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 2: What we went there to see the lifestyle?

616
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:33,000
Speaker 6: Right?

617
00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:34,200
Speaker 5: And I saw it. It was.

618
00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:36,600
Speaker 11: It was, but I don't know if I could indulge

619
00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:38,759
Speaker 11: and understand what I was even looking at.

620
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:39,080
Speaker 5: It was.

621
00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:41,480
Speaker 2: It was pretty wild, Okay.

622
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:45,760
Speaker 1: He went on to say that you'd open a door

623
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:50,120
Speaker 1: and there would be people in that room, multiple women

624
00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:55,879
Speaker 1: and men having orgies, a totally different set of sex,

625
00:36:56,000 --> 00:37:01,960
Speaker 1: specifically always girls around. This was when he was thirteen.

626
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:07,040
Speaker 1: Now you're hearing Usher speaking to Howard Stern and being

627
00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:11,919
Speaker 1: very very candid. Stern has the ability to get people

628
00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:15,200
Speaker 1: to drop their guard and speak as they would as

629
00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:17,719
Speaker 1: if they were speaking to a longtime friend in the

630
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:21,680
Speaker 1: privacy of their home as you saw right there. And

631
00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:25,319
Speaker 1: I'm just wondering if, as this case goes forward to

632
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:29,480
Speaker 1: Barry Golden, former US Marshall, if we're going to see

633
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:34,640
Speaker 1: more people their high profile being forced pursue it to

634
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:37,000
Speaker 1: subpoena to speak out.

635
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:40,120
Speaker 10: Yes, when you read in some of these civil lawsuits,

636
00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:44,240
Speaker 10: you see that there are allegations that there are other people,

637
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:48,319
Speaker 10: other witnesses, that were there at the time when these

638
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:52,200
Speaker 10: alleged criminal acts occurred. So now the US Attorney's Office

639
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:56,080
Speaker 10: is going to have to find those people, interview those people,

640
00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:59,920
Speaker 10: and then get these people to be willing to test

641
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:05,040
Speaker 10: against Sean P. Diddy, Colmbs, this person who is a

642
00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:09,240
Speaker 10: mega superstar with millions and millions or billions of dollars,

643
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:13,239
Speaker 10: and now they have to be able to stand up

644
00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:17,040
Speaker 10: and face him in court and say he did this, this,

645
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:20,239
Speaker 10: and this. The US Attorney's Office is going to have

646
00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:22,880
Speaker 10: to find these people and bring these people in and

647
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:27,680
Speaker 10: be willing to testify against a mega superstar.

648
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:31,239
Speaker 1: And people, very often, I hate to say, don't come

649
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:32,840
Speaker 1: forward out of the goodness of their heart.

650
00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:36,080
Speaker 2: They have to be forced. In other words, you have.

651
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:43,640
Speaker 1: To threaten them with unnamed co conspirator status. It's going

652
00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:48,240
Speaker 1: to be tough exactly who is a government and these
