    After facing multiple lawsuits in recent months alleging sexual assault and other crimes, Sean Combs was indicted Sept. 17 on charges of sex trafficking by force, racketeering conspiracy, fraud or coercion and transporting for prostitution. Combs’ attorney, Marc Agnifilo, called it an “unjust prosecution,” and said his client is “an innocent man with nothing to hide.” In November, Casandra “Cassie” Ventura kicked off what became a tsunami of accusations against Combs with a lawsuit against Combs in New York federal court that included graphic claims of sexual assault, physical abuse, and an allegation that Combs, her ex-boyfriend, would force her to have sex with male sex workers while he watched. Several arrests have been made in connection with the flash-mob style robberies at 7-Eleven locations in Los Angeles after parents of some of the “youthful male” perpetrators spotted their kids in surveillance footage released by the Los Angeles Police Department.

    LIES can be lethal. What LIES can do, especially when amplified by people who hate other people for who they are or where they came from.The 45th and his repulsive ruining mate, threw an ugly spotlight on the small city of Springfield, Ohio, by spreading unverified claims about Haitian immigrants killing and eating people's pets. Since then, the city has seen multiple bomb threats, school closures, and growing fear within the city's immigrant community. Yahoo News :The potentcial downfall of Music Mogul P. Diddy, other moguls running for the hills Zurich, Switzerland Reuters — Swiss police have arrested several people after a controversial futuristic-looking capsule designed to allow its occupant to kill themself was used for the first time, a on Tuesday. Police in the northern canton of Schaffhausen bordering Germany said the so-called “Sarco” capsule had been deployed. Prosecutors in Schaffhausen have opened criminal proceedings against several people for “inducing and aiding and abetting suicide,” a police statement said, adding several people were detained, without giving details about them or the deceased. Cast along sleek, aerodynamic lines, the “Sarco” causes death when its occupant releases nitrogen gas inside, lowering the amount of oxygen to lethal levels. Switzerland has been a magnet for advocates of assisted suicide due to laws that make it legal there, and The Last Resort says its legal advice was that it could be deployed. The capsule has generated considerable media attention and discussion among authorities on whether they would allow it.

    Ex-inmate Larry Levine, founder of Wall Street Prison Consultants, tells "Banfield" that a source close to the Diddy investigation believes the entertainment mogul may not be eating in prison because he is "paranoid" and "scared" of poisoning, or potentially on a hunger strike. Diddy is currently being held in Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center following two failed bids to bail him out. #Diddy #NewYork #SeanDiddyCombs Sean Diddy Combs and a former bodyguard allegedly drugged, bound and raped a woman in Combs’ Daddy’s House recording studio in 2001, then went on to share – and sell – a recording of the alleged assault as ography, a new lawsuit filed Tuesday and obtained by Rolling Stone claims. Thalia Graves broke down in tears as her lawyer, Gloria Allred, described her claims at a press conference in Los Angeles. “The internal pain after being sexually assaulted has been incredibly deep and hard to put into words,” Graves said in remarks delivered a week after Combs was arrested and held without bail on. “I am glad that he is locked up, but that’s a temporary feeling of relief.”
