50 Cent's Thoughts on L.A. DA's Inability to Prosecute Diddy for Assaulting Cassie
50 Cent Comments on L.A. DA's Hands Tied in Cassie Assault:
The Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office addressed their decision not to prosecute Diddy in a statement released on Friday (May 17).
The statement clarified that due to the statute of limitations, they were unable to pursue criminal charges against Diddy for the alleged assault on Cassie Ventura.
"We are aware of the video that has been circulating online allegedly depicting Sean Combs assaulting a young woman in Los Angeles," the statement read.
"We find the images extremely disturbing and difficult to watch. 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 DA's Office emphasized the importance of reporting crimes to law enforcement, noting that they had not received a police report regarding the incident shown in the video.
"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.
This development adds another layer to the ongoing discussion surrounding the incident involving Diddy and Cassie Ventura, highlighting the complexities of navigating legal proceedings in cases of alleged assault.
