On Sept. 17, Sean "Diddy" Combs was plunged deeper into legal jeopardy. That’s the date when federal prosecutors unsealed a sweeping indictment against the hip-hop impresario.
Casandra Ventura’s civil lawsuit against Combs was settled in a day, but it set the stage for a reckoning that will soon come to a head in federal court.
Federal prosecutors say he threatened to punish those who didn't assist in what they have described as his two-decade sex trafficking scheme. Combs, who is charged with sex trafficking, has denied all of the accusations.
Anthony Ricco filed a motion Thursday in a New York City court, saying “under no circumstances can I continue to effectively serve as counsel for Sean Combs.”
