For the lawyer there is racism against Sean “Diddy” Combs

Sean “Diddy” Combs In September 2024 he was accused of criminal association aimed at racket, sexual traffic with force, fraud or coercion and transport for the exercise of prostitution. The American artist is currently detained in Brooklyn pending the process scheduled for May.

Now the legal team of “Diddy“He is moving to the offensive with a new motion that aims to store one of the three federal accusations against him, claiming that the complaints are motivated by racial reasons and that” no white person has ever been the subject of an accusation remotely similar “ai pursuant to the Mann law.

In the memory filed on Tuesday evening, according to Variety, the Combs lawyer said that “there has never been a similar judicial proceeding” and that it was “identified because it is a black and powerful man and is pursued for a conduct which remains regularly unpunished “.

The Memorandum specifically concerns the third charge, in which it is stated that from 2009 to 2024 he made a transport to exercise prostitution. The contested conduct concerns the sexual activity between his friends and the alleged male companions assumed through a legal escort service, which according to them was consensual.

“Many couples, including the rich and high profile ones, involve third parties in their sexual relationships, sometimes with implicit or explicit compensation”, reads the document, which underlines that successful white men, such as the former Governor of New York Eliot Spitzer, they engaged in similar activities, but have not been accused according to the same law. “Such a conduct has never triggered the responsibility of the Mann Act.”

The Mann Act o White-Slave Traffic Act is a 1910 federal law Which in its original form made the transport in the interstatal or foreign trade in “any woman or girl for the purpose of prostitution or fading, or for any other immoral purpose”. The main intent declared was to face prostitution, immorality and human trafficking, in particular when traffic was aimed at prostitution.

His lawyer states that the charge should be rejected because it is a case of selective persecution, as the Mann law has a racist application history and is also known as the law on white slaves trafficking. “This procedure is the umpteenth case in which the Mann law has been used in an unfair way against an important black man,” concludes the Memorandum.
