Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, who has been held in custody awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges, was taken to a hospital for treatment of a pre-existing knee injury. The 55-year-old rapper was transported from the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn to a nearby medical facility on Thursday. According to sources, he received an MRI scan before being returned to jail a few hours later.
Combs faces charges of sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, and transportation to engage in prostitution. Over the past 16 months, at least 40 plaintiffs have sued him over allegations of sexual assault or misconduct. A new lawsuit alleges that Combs drugged and sexually assaulted a 16-year-old high school student in New York in late August or early September 2000.
Combs’s legal team has denied all claims against him, stating that he has never sexually assaulted or sex trafficked anyone and is confident he will prevail in court. The case is ongoing as Combs awaits trial on the sex trafficking charges.
