Sean 'Diddy' Combs' ex Cassie likely 'important' witness in Homeland Security trafficking probe
April 6, 2024 – Media MentionLitigation Partner Priya Sopori was quoted in a Fox News article that discussed how Cassie, the ex-girlfriend of Sean "Diddy" Combs, could be an important witness in the Homeland Security investigation against the rapper.
Excerpts:
What the "Long Way 2 Go" singer told Homeland Security would likely "mirror" her claims brought in a since-withdrawn civil lawsuit against Combs in November, Priya Sopori, partner at Greenberg Glusker and a member of the firm’s Litigation Group, told Fox News Digital.
"If the government were building a criminal case based upon similar allegations to those made by Ms. Ventura, then she could potentially be an important witness for the government," Sopori told Fox News Digital. "Her lawsuit referenced specific locations, witnesses and video evidence of alleged sex trafficking claims. The point of any investigation is to dig into the events as told by the alleged victims to see if commonalities occur and if those events may be corroborated by others."
"In such a case, we can expect that the government would want to speak with the alleged third-party witnesses noted in Ms. Ventura’s lawsuit, which seemingly included members of Mr. Combs’ inner circle," she added. "Also, in such circumstances, the government would be interested in speaking with those who purportedly travel with Mr. Combs or handle security, personal calendaring details and events for him. We can also expect that attempts will be made to speak with frequent visitors to Mr. Combs’ properties and any other purported proteges of Mr. Combs who may have been similarly situated to Ms. Ventura."
