Federal officials were acting on specific allegations of sex trafficking when they raided two of Diddy’s homes on Monday — and they say his alleged victims have not been holding back during interviews.
An officer with the Department of Homeland Security told The Post the case has been active for several weeks as authorities investigate a range of allegations against the 54-year-old rapper and mogul.
“We believe that there is a disturbing history of sex trafficking,” said the Miami-based officer, who spoke under condition of anonymity.
“We are responding to concrete, detailed, explicit allegations. This is not random. We didn’t choose his name out of a hat. We had allegations that we’re following up on.”
The public first became aware of allegations against Diddy when his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura filed a federal civil suit against him in November last year.
That case was settled out of court the next day, but has been followed by three further lawsuits alleging sex assault, all of which Diddy has strongly denied.
