Lauren Johnson-Norris Forbes Interview- Sean Diddy Combs Case- 9/17/24- Part I
Transcript[Speaker 2]
To break this down for us is Lauren Johnson Norris. She is a criminal defense lawyer and the founder of the Johnson Criminal Law Group. Lauren, thank you so much for being here.
Thanks for having me. So let's start broad. How did we get here?
What is the background and the context we all need to know to understand this case?
[Speaker 1]
Well, over the last almost two decades, Sean Combs appears to have been involved in a criminal enterprise, bringing women to parties and using force and violence and guns to not only benefit himself, but as part of his business model. We saw in the last couple years that lawsuits have been filed. And I think it's that window that New York opened for civil lawsuits in 2023 that really brought in the floodgates of allegations against him.
We started hearing rumors about his proclivities and sort of his behavior over the years. But it was only until these lawsuits were filed that multiple alleged victims came forward. Many of those cases were settled.
But I think those facts are underlying what's being criminally prosecuted here.
[Speaker 2]
Interesting. So it took those victims coming forward basically for the law to build a case against him and then arrest him.
