Authorities charged Sean "Diddy" Combs with sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy and more following a monthslong investigation against the rapper. Combs was arrested Monday by federal agents based on a sealed indictment, the US Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York confirmed. The rapper was charged with racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion, and transportation to engage in prostitution in the indictment unsealed Tuesday. "His spirits are good. He's confident," Combs' attorney Marc Agnifilo said outside the courthouse Tuesday morning. "He is dealing with this head on, the way he's dealt with every challenge in his life. And he's not guilty. He's innocent of these charges. He's going to plead not guilty, obviously. He's going to fight this with all of his energy and all of his might and the full confidence of his lawyers. And I expect a long battle with a good result for Mr. Combs."
