Authorities Explain Why Sean 'Diddy' Combs Won't Face Charges for Cassie Assault Video

The authorities have released a statement reacting to the video of Sean “Diddy” Combs seemingly assaulting ex-girlfriend Cassie.

On Friday (May 17), CNN obtained a video of the 54-year-old music producer as he appears running down the hallway of a hotel, chasing after Cassie, 37. He appears to grab her and throw her to the floor before the alleged attack begins.

After the video went viral, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office released a statement about the video and explained why Diddy won’t face assault charges.

“If the conduct depicted occurred in 2016, unfortunately we would be unable to charge as the conduct would have occurred beyond the timeline where a crime of assault can be prosecuted,” the statement explained.

“As of today, law enforcement has not presented a case related to the attack depicted in the video against Mr. Combs, but we encourage anyone who has been a victim or witness to a crime to report it to law enforcement or reach out to our office for support from our Bureau of Victims Services,” the statement concluded.

In her 2023 lawsuit, Cassie alleged that Diddy paid the hotel for the security footage.
