Starting point is 00:00:00 This is an iHeart Podcast. Crime Stories with Nancy Grace. Do I need a toll-free number? 1-999-DIDDY-MOLEST-YOU? Now over 100 sex assault victims have been vetted, according to a lawyer, after over 3,000 people have contacted lawyers regarding alleged abuse at the hands of Sean Combs. This as disturbing claims emerging tonight regarding sex assaults on minors, minors trying to break into showbiz. Good evening. I'm Nancy Grace. This is Crime Stories. Thank you for being with us.
Starting point is 00:00:56 Diddy boo hoo. Sean Puffy Combs whining incesscessantly refusing jail food. Oh, no, it's not eggplant parm, Nancy. It's chicken parm. No, but I'm trying. Am I supposed to care that Danny's got a TT into a metal urinal? I don't care. Don't care. Don't care. B.S.
Starting point is 00:01:18 B.S. Sorry. B.S. The day will come when we will name names other than Sean Combs. And there's a lot of names. It's a long list already. Because of the nature of this case, we're going to make damn sure, damn sure that we're right before we do that. But the names that we're going to name, assuming that our investigators confirm and corroborate what we've been told, are names that will shock you.
Starting point is 00:01:44 There you see lawyer Tony Busby. He's got a lot to say. He's been fielding calls. I guess he has set up an 800 number. If he hasn't, he needs to. Did he molest you? Because from what we are hearing, there have been over 3,000 people coming forward. Over 100 of them have been vetted and are filing lawsuits against
Starting point is 00:02:08 Sean Combs. But there you have him talking about celebs, how we're going to be shot. You know what? After everything I've heard regarding Sean Combs, and again, he's innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. I don't know how much more shocked I could be. But from those many, many alleged victims, we are learning more and more. And for the state federal prosecutors, this is a much more refined modus operandi method of operation, MO, that we are learning from all of these alleged victims. And again, yes, it's titillating. It's interesting to some people, I guess, about celebs. We've seen all the pictures over and over.
Starting point is 00:02:52 Hillary, let's see here, Trump, Obama, Ashton Kutcher. I mean, it just goes on and on and on about celebs. Oprah, for Pete's sake, at a party, at some event with Combs, does that make them guilty? No. And I think a lot is out there about celebs because the media believes the general population wants to hear about celebrities. You know what I want to hear about, Lynn Shaw? I want to hear about the truth. Weigh in. Well, the truth is puppy parties, dirty ditty. We heard these rumors for years. We had people come forth. We are in the middle in New York City. And I would say you must go to the authorities. You must tell law enforcement.
Starting point is 00:03:39 We are going back to the 90s, Nancy, and nobody would do it. Everybody was afraid. I want to focus not on the celebrities and influencers. I want to focus on the minors and all of these victims. Minors, that is exploitation. One as young, allegedly, Lynn Shaw. By the way, Lynn Shaw, Executive Director, Lynn's Warriors, committed to ending sexploitation and human trafficking. Alex West joining me, investigative reporter with The Mirror. Alex, I guess you, of everyone on the panel, has seen the video ad nauseum of Ashton Kutcher on some type of a swing going over and over a pool at one of Combs' white parties where everybody has to dress in white or you can't get in. Have you seen that video of Kuchner? Yes. I don't care about that. I don't care about him unless he is a defendant or a victim or he's in a new movie. All I care about.
Starting point is 00:04:45 But as of right now, these endless parade of celebrity montages at Combs' parties, that means nothing. I want to get to the heart of what's going on with this federal case because the feds have been very clear they're still investigating Alex. We can't fully pull apart the celebrity, right? So, for example, Justin Bieber, right? He was with Diddy. He was in Diddy's custody. We can't pretend that that's not true. We don't know what happened to Justin. We don't know if he was a victim. He hasn't said anything yet, but we can't forget that there are some celebrities who were under Diddy's care as
Starting point is 00:05:18 minors who he did mentor. So I think we can't fully stop talking about the celebrity aspect of this either. I agree, Alex West. But seeing Ashton Kushner swing back and forth on a homemade swing over Diddy's pool means nothing to me. Actually, what does mean something to me is this. Listen. The biggest secret in the entertainment industry that really wasn't a secret at all has finally been revealed to the world. The wall of silence has now been broken and victims are coming forward. Our team has had at this point more than 3,285 individuals contact us with people claiming, people claiming to have been victimized by Sean Combs. Did I just hear that number correctly?
Starting point is 00:06:06 I don't think I need a hearing aid, but I definitely heard the number. 3,285 people have come forward claiming that Sean Combs in some way molested or attacked them. 3,000 plus? Is that real? They've got to be vetted. How many of those are real and how many of those are just jumping on a bandwagon? To Dr. Leslie Dobson, joining me, renowned clinical forensic psychologist. You can find her at drlesleydobson.com. Her author, The Friend Cleanse. Dr. Leslie, thank you for being with us. I want to address something that attorney Tony Busby just said. And very shortly, we're going to be joined by Ariel Mitchell Kidd, who is representing a new alleged victim of Combs on this same issue. We hear Busby talking about the wall of silence coming down. As you know, Dr. Leslie, I have prosecuted a lot of rape cases, including
Starting point is 00:07:16 many serial rapists. And he's right. There is a wall of silence where victims don't want to come forward. Why? Especially with a perp, an alleged perp like Diddy. I think there is so much danger in coming forward. There's shame to these individuals. There's shame they fear amongst their family. But there are viable threats of death to them and their families. And I've been made aware of the threats by the bodyguards of many of these celebrities involved. And they have numbers put on their heads. So it is no joke. If you come forward in a civil lawsuit and you settle or you go to court, it doesn't matter. You're still at risk of losing your life over this. 3,000 plus victims. Yeah, you better set up that toll-free number. Listen.
Starting point is 00:08:16 After vetting, we now represent 120 individuals who intend to bring civil claims in civil court against Sean Diddy Combs, as well as claims against many other individuals and entities that we will name as defendants as we file these individual cases. There are 60 males and 60 females. 25 of the 120 individuals who are plaintiffs in these cases were minors at the time of the acts complained of. Our youngest victim at the time of the occurrence was 9 years old. We have an individual who was 14 years old. We have one who was 15. An alleged victim as young as nine years old.
Starting point is 00:08:55 A lot of people would find that very hard to believe. But wait until you hear the circumstances surrounding the claim of the nine-year-old. And now other minors are coming forward. One claiming he just quit the whole business and lives in regret that he left the industry after an alleged incident with Sean Combs. Brian Fitzgibbons joining me, Director of Operations, USPA Nationwide Security. Brian Fitzgibbons, we have to vet these victims, and I'll tell you why. If you have one person who's lying and trying to get money and it didn't really happen, that casts a pall, a taint over every other victim that's going to be named. One liar can ruin the whole case.
Starting point is 00:09:51 You know, the whole one bad apple can ruin the whole bunch. That's what I'm talking about. How do you vet people? And remember, when you're vetting them, they could very well be a legitimate victim of Sean Combs. So how do you vet them, keeping in mind you could be dealing with a sex attack victim? Absolutely, Nancy. And these law firms, these professional law firms will engage with highly specialized private investigators that understand how to conduct these interviews appropriately, given that, you know, out of those 3,285, hey, as far as we know, a majority of them could be actual victims. And as you said, some of them could be out just for money and be falsifying this information. Now, in our experience, that's something that we quickly identify as these interviews start.
Starting point is 00:10:51 The law firm will have a mountain of information to vet the validity of the statements being made. Well, one way that you can vet victims is you look you can look at what we call in prosecution an outcry. Did they say anything about it to anyone at the time? Those are called outcry witnesses. Okay, listen to this. More than 55% of the victims filed reports, reported this conduct to either the authorities, that is the police, or to hospitals. We're in the process of collecting with our team assistance, medical records, reports that were made to the authorities, and I've already said that some of the individuals in this group did in fact talk to the FBI. Crime Stories with Nancy Grace. And joining us now, special guest Ariel Mitchell Kidd,
Starting point is 00:11:52 a very high-profile civil litigation attorney who is representing one client so far in a case against Sean Combs. And I'd like to point out that she also is familiar with the attempted sale of Diddy tapes. I can only assume they're pornographic in nature. Ariel Mitchell-Kidd,
Starting point is 00:12:18 thank you for being with us. Your client filed a police report at the time of the incident, but was afraid to put Sean Combs' name on the report. What happened? So at the time when she was able to make her hearing escape from her assault, she ran down the street and a neighbor took her in. And that's how she was able to contact the police. At that time, she was very afraid to name Mr. Combs, mainly because this was
Starting point is 00:12:47 at the height of his career. She felt crazy even telling the neighbor who it was and feeling like no one would believe her. And I too feel the same way because in 2021, this is a case that's actually still pending in Florida courts. Mr. Combs is named as a defendant in a lawsuit that I have with Trey Songz. Also in 2022, Mr. Combs was, his home rather, was the location of two separate sexual assaults by young ladies by Chris Brown. And in 2021 and 2022, I personally was sounding the alarm about Mr. Combs, that there was something was not right, that these acts, these sexual assaults kept occurring at his home and no one wanted to listen to me.
Starting point is 00:13:35 No one wanted to believe me. And then I had individuals, including a celebrity chef and other high profile celebrities and politicians in Miami who were warning me that my life was in danger if I persisted in these claims against Mr. Combs. So I truly believe that all of these individuals who are now coming forward are doing so now because now finally they're feeling safe that they can make these claims without fear of harm or retribution. You know, in another universe, I would have thought, Ariel, that that's far-fetched. But now that I know so many other women are saying I was threatened. I was threatened that a pornographic tape of me would be revealed.
Starting point is 00:14:26 I was threatened my career would end. All sorts of threats if they came out against Sean Combs. It's not far-fetched at all what you're saying. Could you tell me about what your client says happens the night she says Sean Combs sex assaulted her. Yes. So what she told me was she was with a friend and the friend gets a phone call from Mr. Combs asking him what he was doing and if he could come over. And he said, sure, I'm just having at home having some friends over.
Starting point is 00:15:01 Mr. Combs came with Christina Quorum, who we know Mr. Combs to say that that's his right-hand woman. He shouted her out in that BET speech where he named Cassie at the end of the video for staying with him through the dark times. My client has identified Ms. Corum as an additional person who will be named as a defendant in our lawsuit, who was present at the time. She said Ms. Corum and Mr. Combs were making jokes about sex trafficking her, about how she would be a good person to take to the parties and that a lot of men would like her. And eventually she was given, everybody started drinking. She was given a drink and she said she took one sip
Starting point is 00:15:49 and knew something was off and stopped drinking and started to feel woozy. And then Mr. Combs assaulted her with an inanimate object, which I'll name in our complaint, which is coming soon. And then instructed another gentleman who was there to penetrate her with his penis while Mr. Combs was in the corner watching and pleasuring himself. Okay, Ariel. Guys, you're hearing Ariel Mitchell Kidd, who is representing yet another claimant against Combs. For those of you that want to buy in to the photos of him
Starting point is 00:16:27 drinking champagne and pouring it on people in his fur coats and his diamond necklaces and his gold chains, blah, blah. You know, the devil can dress up in a tuxedo too. Does that mean anything to me? No, it does not. What your client is saying predates by years, the federal indictment. What is she clairvoyant? She is saying she was invited to a party. She is saying that there was talk of trafficking her. In other words, farming her out to other men that would enjoy meeting her. That at that point, Combs sits back and watches other people molest her as he masturbates. That's exactly what the victims say in the federal indictment. This is highly significant. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:17:21 I've also been vetting several individuals since I have entered into this foray. So I knew this to be occurring. I had no doubt in my mind who Mr. Combs is and was and continues to be. And it's only not that person anymore because he's behind bars. Combs allegedly planned and controlled the sex performances, which he called freak offs, freak offs, freak offs, freak offs, freak offs. Sean Puffy Combs, a.k.a. Diddy, a.k.a. P. Diddy, I'll see you in court. In addition to a lawyer claiming, this is Busby, claiming that over 1,000, wait, over 3,000, sorry, Diddy. Oh, I know how you hate an imperfection. Over 3,000 alleged victims have come forward. He has vetted that down to over 100 lawsuits against Diddy. Hey, you better hurry. He's going to run
Starting point is 00:18:28 out of money at some point. That said, when you see Busby speaking, I've been saying, hey, we need a toll-free number. 999-DIDDY-MOLEST-YOU. Okay, he has a toll-free number right behind him. You normally only see toll-free numbers of that nature when you've got a class action, which means typically hundreds, maybe thousands of people joining together in one claim against a major entity, like a cell phone carrier or a big company. There is an 800 number for victims to call if they have been molested by Sean Combs or at one of his parties. Did you just hear Ariel Mitchell kid? Her client, this her client says this happened years ago where Diddy sits back and watches and
Starting point is 00:19:26 masturbates while he instructs somebody else to rape her. And can I show you one more thing? Can I see that picture, Liz? Does nobody else notice this? There is a party. Okay, hold that picture. There's a party going on. Does nobody notice a woman is up there without pants on any what am i the only one like just imagine you go to a christmas party and you look over and there's a naked lady and what is that wrapped around her waist Is that some sort of pulley? Is she about to take flight over the audience? Buck naked? That's what I want to know. And everybody's acting like this is normal for there to be a naked lady at the party. Okay, it's not normal. Aside from Sean Combs' parties, I want to talk about the specter that has just been raised in the last 72 hours. The specter of child victims.
Starting point is 00:20:38 This individual, who was nine years old at the time, was taken to an audition in New York City with Bad Boy Records. Other boys were there to audition as well. All of them were trying to land a record deal. All of them were minors. This individual was sexually abused, allegedly by Sean Combs and several other people at the studio in the promise to both his parents and to him himself of getting a record deal. And more. Another minor told allegedly by Sean Combs that he would make him a star, but needed a visit with him in private about it, away from his parents. Once they were in a private area, allegedly Mr. Combs made the victim perform oral sex upon him. Alex West joining me, investigative reporter with The Mirror.
Starting point is 00:21:40 Alex, again, thank you for being with us. What do we know about claims? Now, multiple claims, not just one then child, but multiple claims that the M.O., again, the same when it comes to children. They are interviewed by Combs for a record deal and they end up giving him oral sex. What do you know about these claims? Yeah. So the alleged grooming is a tactic that, you know, Diddy is allegedly used on adult adults as well. The promises of fame have come up over and over again. And that's the same tactics that he allegedly used with children.
Starting point is 00:22:23 I mean, 25 minors are coming forward and, you know repetitive things are and what we're seeing. But, you know, the stories line up with the adult victims as well. Same thing, using his power to get these individuals to allegedly perform different acts on him or with him. And there's more. You've heard about a then nine yearold, then another minor. Listen to this. An individual 15 years old at the time flown to New York City to attend a party, was drugged and then taken into a private room, allegedly in the presence of Mr. Combs,
Starting point is 00:23:22 where this female individual minor was raped, and then other individuals took turns raping her. A very young man who told us at the hands of Sean Diddy Combs and his friends in the effort to try to sign a record deal. This was kind of what he was told he would have to do. Had he not been in power, I feel like I could have been something great. I signed a record deal. This was kind of what he was told he would have to do. Had he not been in power, I feel like I could have been something great. I quit the industry because of what Sean Combs did to me. To Lynn Shaw, founder and director of Lynn's Warriors Committed to Ending Sexual Exploitation,
Starting point is 00:24:03 especially of children. If there had been one isolated claim, I would have been skeptical because it wouldn't fit into Combs' MO of targeting adults. But now that I know that there are 25 similar claims regarding abuse on children, that cannot be ignored. M.O., be damned. Nancy, we have always heard the rumors or people have reported to me that these things were going on right here in New York City at his studio in his offices. But I have to ask you, if we were hearing about this, these stories we're hearing right now are lining up with everything, the adults and the minors. I want to ask everybody, where has everybody been? There were reports made.
Starting point is 00:24:58 Some spoke to the FBI. Hospital emergency rooms, which we always say to victims, get reports down, call 911 right away, go to a hospital emergency room. They're open 24-7, 365. I want to ask everybody, where has everybody been? And when it comes to children, you have to ask, where did these children come from? What about their parents or caretaker? Who are these children? Other adults in the room, why would they watch this? Allow this. This is so complicit. There are so many people involved and we have to keep our thoughts on that as well. I don't want this to turn into another Jeffrey Epstein case where it just kind of poof and goes away. We have to stay on this because so many people are complicit in this. And I'm tired of hearing about
Starting point is 00:25:41 if anything good comes of this this this whole dirty ditty thing is if the american public the public can wake up and see what is going on and you don't allow your child alone at any point anything to do with show business going anywhere when it seems too good to be true it is too good to be true but i have to ask where is everybody protecting these kids obviously everybody failed at their jobs. I want answers, don't you? Doesn't everybody here on the panel? Why could this go on since the 90s?
Starting point is 00:26:11 I'm not understanding that when people have been reporting this. Music mogul and rap star Sean Diddy Combs hit with lawsuit after lawsuit after lawsuit. But attorneys claim no matter how many suits are filed, Combs is innocent. Well, if the attorney really wants to win the case, he better not have any more sit-downs with Harvey Levin, the founder of TMZ, who is also a lawyer. In addition to another hearing, another bond bond hearing this is bond hearing number three
Starting point is 00:26:47 that's coming up we think they'll probably argue it on october the 9th don't know that that could just be a status update but i guarantee you the lawyers will try to get him out of jail again two new lawyers have been named to the case one One is a trial lawyer, a very well-known trial lawyer, and the other is an appellate lawyer. What does that mean? Appeals. That means you argue the law. Why would Sean Combs need an appellate lawyer now? There's not even a conviction to appeal. That's because this new lawyer, the appeals lawyer, is an expert in the technicalities of the black and white letter of the law to try and beat this case on a legal front, not a factual front. So that's what's happening. Now, another important thing that's happening that we heard from Tony Busby, who has the big 800 number behind him, as opposed to our 999, did Diddy molest you? All of these women and men coming forward, including 25 minors, have a similar story. That's critical in the practice of law because these witnesses don't know each other, yet their stories are startlingly
Starting point is 00:28:15 similar. What are we learning about the alleged modus operandi, method of operation, of Sean Diddy Combs. Listen. Typically, the victim is lured into a situation where he or she is given a drink. Typically, that drink reported by these victims is apparently laced with something. Once that drink takes effect, the perpetrators perform all kinds of sexual acts on the victims many times passing him or her around as other people watch and enjoy the show and then leave the victim ashamed confused injured and wondering what happened when the victim reaches out he or she is told not to say anything sometimes there are threats of all physical violence or financial repercussions
Starting point is 00:29:05 or bodily harm. To Dr. Leslie Dobson joining us, clinical forensic psychologist at drlesliedobson.com, also author. Dr. Leslie, one, well, many characteristics, but one repeating theme, a recurring theme, is how Combs, aka Diddy, aka Puff, Puff Daddy, Puffy, Love, Sean Lovecom, whatever, puts on a show. He's like the puppeteer and the victim is the puppet with a parade of typically men abusing the victim, putting on a show for combs. What is that? He's got a style, right? That's his grooming. And he enjoys these high levels of stimulation and risk. For somebody who specializes in high-risk sexual violence, he is one of the most dangerous people I have ever seen in my career.
Starting point is 00:30:12 You know, I'm very curious what you make of claims that he is motivated by some sort of voyeurism. It's not him always performing the rape on the victim. He is very often, if not mostly, sitting back and watching somebody else attack the victim. There's an element of sadism. He is enjoying the pain. And voyeurism is when an individual is sexually stimulated by watching another person engage in sex. And then when you bring in that element, they are stimulated because of the sadistic nature involved in watching the sex act. Crime Stories with Nancy Grace. So to Ariel Mitchell Kidd now representing another alleged victim of Sean Combs, what I'm getting at with Dr. Leslie Dobson, you heard her definition of voyeurism. If this is Combs' addiction, that would explain the alleged sale of Diddy tapes, pornographic tapes. How does that fit in with your client?
Starting point is 00:31:32 Well, my client doesn't know, at least as of now, if anything was recorded, at least in this scenario, it wasn't at one of his homes, like the stills of the videotape that I saw, which is purported to be at Mr. Combs. One of Mr. Combs' estates in Atlanta, Georgia. So I've actually been told by the individual who wanted me to sell the one tape that they had, three tapes. Hold everything. I got to hear that more slowly. Ariel Mitchell Kidd joining us. So you have seen stills of a porn tape with combs in it? Yes. And part of the reason I did not want to engage in
Starting point is 00:32:17 any sale or have anything to do with it is because they could possibly be a minor in that videotape. It could be child pornography. And I have a lot of extensive experience with dealing with cases with child pornography. And I know what my duties are. I cannot determine if this person is 17, 18, 19, 20, or 21. But I did see the steals in an effort to authenticate that there actually was a tape. The feds are still gathering evidence against Sean Diddy Holmes. According to TMZ, an anonymous male sex worker has met with agents to
Starting point is 00:32:53 hand over a freak-off tape. The escort was reportedly flown from Atlanta to Miami to participate in the freak-off and even detailed the drugs Combs used to ply the woman he had sex with in the video. This as feds are still on the hunt for private medics who hooked up victims to IVs after the hours or days long sex assaults. And that is where the entire criminal enterprise alleged in the federal indictment, that's what they're talking about. Now we understand that the feds are on the hunt for medics that applied or helped facilitate IV drug drips to victims to recuperate after free coughs. I want to circle back to Ariel Mitchell Kidd regarding the porn tape she says she saw. Then I'll go back to Fitz Gibbons regarding the potential of an AI, a false tape. But Ariel, this is not the first we've heard
Starting point is 00:33:54 of porn tapes being circulated, porn tapes as they relate to combs. There's got to be a treasure trove of porn tapes. If he videoed all of these freak-offs. I would believe that there is a considering. I know of one source who purports to have three tapes, one of which I have seen a still of. They did invite me to come to Beverly Hills and view all three of the tapes if I was so inclined to take this responsibility on, which I declined, which is how we got to the point of me seeing the stills of the tape. As I'm an attorney, once I see certain
Starting point is 00:34:32 things, I would have a duty not only to report these things, but be called upon as a witness, as an officer of the court. Well, you're absolutely right, Ariel Mitchell Kidd. In the stills that you saw of one of the tapes, what did you observe? I observed Mr. Combs and another extremely high profile individual engaged in homosexual activities. West joining us from the mirror. That is a whole nother line of potential indictment, a whole nother avenue. The sale or the manufacture or distribution, dissemination of porn. And that's a very loose term. I mean, all the U.S. Supreme Court will say about porn is we know it when we see it. OK, just because people are naked having sex does not necessarily mean a crime. However, if you're videoing someone without their knowledge and then disseminating that, that's a whole nother animal.
Starting point is 00:35:40 What can you tell us about people peddling Diddy porn tapes? Yeah, what I do know is while that could be another indictment, could be another charge or revenge porn. This has come up over and over again in the civil lawsuits. And these victims, one of the big things they're asking for is not just financial compensation, but for those tapes to be destroyed. They found it affects their life, their livelihood. They've said that it's been sent around to plenty of people. They've heard from other people that their videos have been sent to them without their knowledge. And they find out years later, some of these people are alleging that their assault took place years ago and they've worked on it. They've tried to heal from that. And then it comes back up years later when they find out that diddy allegedly sent
Starting point is 00:36:25 this to other people and now they have to start that trauma process all over again and that's what they're saying in these civil lawsuits so could it be an avenue for investigators to look into absolutely and they have some place to start with these civil lawsuits another individual 26 at the time of the occurrence was picked up by allegedly Mr. Combs and several other people in a black SUV from the airport, was given one drink in the SUV, and then literally woke up the next day not knowing what had happened, but with pain and damage to both her vagina and her anus. I'm telling you, when a jury hears that, they're going to do a backflip. That's Tony Busby, attorney, speaking about over 3,000 people coming forward. He's culled it down
Starting point is 00:37:13 to over 100 that he believes are legitimate sex claims, sex assault claims against Combs. Straight out to Brian Fitzgibbons joining us, Director of Operations, USPA, Nationwide Security. How can I make sure that these videos we're talking about, pornographic in nature, are legit? How can I tell if they've been doctored, if they've been edited, if they've been spliced together, if they're not AI? How do you do that? This is going to be very difficult for the untrained eye to detect an AI video at this point. The deep fake technologies have advanced in leaps and bounds over the last few years. But the good news is for attorneys and prosecutors, the technology is even more advanced on the other side to identify this. So as long as attorneys and prosecutors are using the right technologies, they can run these videos through a system of scans that will tell you that it's been faked. While there are allegations, and this is by Tony Busby, that there will be celebrities named in these lawsuits. You heard Ariel Mitchell Kidd state that she observed a
Starting point is 00:38:28 celebrity in one of these tapes. Lynn Shaw, celeb or no celeb, there are a lot more victims out there. So what we have to say about this, again, I always want to put the focus on the victim, the survivor. I have to talk to women and girls. It's called violence in America, rape against women. And they will be asking me, I know about this case. They want to know why he was allowed and all the people around him to do this and get away with it for decades. So we want to put the focus on that survivor, on that trauma and how we can intervene and help them because Because they tell me they walk in a supermarket, a drugstore, they think people are staring at them. It goes on all their
Starting point is 00:39:11 lives. And now we're talking about kids, minors, which we always heard about, CSAM, child sexual abuse material. This is horrendous. Again, I want to remind everybody, let this be a lesson that this goes on. No celebrity culture society is worth this. And where, again, were all the other participants, people, he did not do this alone. Where was everybody when all of these people and especially children were involved? It's disgusting. It's bizarre. Call out the National Guard. We need vetting. We need to prove that he did all of this with all his gang and put him away forever. Imagine living through a brutal sex assault where you're videoed and you have no recollection of it
Starting point is 00:39:53 and then you're presented with the video and that hangs over your head. Is my husband going to find out? My boyfriend? My children? Is it going to go online? Living with that the rest of your life when you were too afraid to come forward to start with? You heard Ariel Mitchell Kidd. Her client ran from Diddy's home, according to her, and banged on a neighbor's door to get help and filed a police report, but was too afraid to say two words. Sean comes. and filed a police report, but was too afraid to say two words, Sean Combs. Well, we're not afraid anymore. You know what we've got on our banner tonight? 999, did he molest you? There is an free hotline number at this point, 800-200-7474. Can you imagine one person has a toll free number for all the alleged victims to call? That's where we're at. And believe you me, the feds ain't sitting back, not paying attention. Let's stop and remember an American hero, Sergeant Robert Blaine Swartz, Oklahoma County Sheriff's. Swartz shot and killed in the line of duty.
