Excerpt from Fox 11:
The Los Angeles home of Sean “Diddy” Combs was raided by Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Monday in connection with a federal sex trafficking case, authorities said. FOX 11 was first on the scene.
The federal raid occurred at Combs’ $40 million home in LA’s lavish Holmby Hills neighborhood and across the coast, HSI also raised the music mogul’s Miami home on Star Island.
FOX 11’s ground crew at the scene learned the home was registered to Bad Boys Films, a division of Bad Boy Entertainment, along with one of Combs’ daughters.
SkyFOX also captured images of a few people coming out of the home who were subsequently detained.
Homeland Security expert Hal Kempfer joined FOX 11 during breaking news coverage and said there have been allegations that he had been drugging young women and that the agency is likely looking into the alleged crimes committed in multiple states.
Kempfer added some evidence they’re looking for includes laptops, flash drives, and anything that would connect Combs with the allegations. In addition, he said obtaining a search warrant of this magnitude requires a lengthy process and that working with state and local attorneys was likely required.
