Hip-hop mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs is expected in court today after he was arrested in New York City on Monday

He faces three charges - racketeering, sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion and transportation to engage in prostitution

Prosecutors allege Combs used his vast business empire to threaten, violently assault and coerce women to “fulfil his sexual desires”

The arrest in Manhattan follows raids on two of his properties in Los Angeles and Miami in March as part of an "ongoing investigation" into sex trafficking

Combs's lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, said they were "disappointed with the decision to pursue what we believe is an unjust prosecution"
