Diddy Is Not Being Investigated For Sexual Assault By NYPD

An NYPD spokesperson this week contradicted a report that Sean “Diddy” Combs was being arrested. under investigation for sexual assault after he was sued by his ex-girlfriend Cassie for rape and abuse.

Apparently, a member of the department told TMZ that there was an open restricted case under the name Sean Combs, which many interpreted to mean that Diddy, real name Sean Combs, was the subject of a criminal investigation.

However, TMZ is now reporting that the NYPD is denying such an investigation. A statement reads:

Yesterday, a member of the New York Police Department’s Public Information Office mistakenly informed a reporter of the apparent existence of an active case containing the name “Sean Combs.” There is no such investigation at present. Furthermore, the release of this information is not in accordance with the internal policies of the Office of the Deputy Commissioner of Public Information. The NYPD always treats allegations of sexual assault and rape extremely seriously and urges anyone who has been a victim to file a police report so that support and services can be offered to survivors and a full investigation can be carried out. conducted.

TMZ said it also contacted law enforcement in Los Angeles and Miami, but noted that “no police reports have been filed regarding Cassie or Diddy, and no investigation has been opened.”

Cassie’s lawsuit alleged that Diddy not only raped her in 2018, but also beat her repeatedly throughout their 10-year relationship and even threatened to blow up Kid Cudi’s car after discovering that the two had a romantic relationship. Cudi later confirmed his car actually blew up in his driveway.
