According to the defense, the “most obvious” evidence that the case against combs is racist is this position, which accuses him of transport sex workers Among states for prostitution, thus violating the Mann Law, initially known as the law against white trafficking.
“(Mann Law) has a long and worrying history of racist origin and has been used to persecute black men And, supposedly, protect white women from them. The use of sex workers, men or women, is common and widely accepted in current American culture, “he adds.
And notes that this is “another case in which the law is used against a prominent black man.”
According to his lawyers, the United States government has initiated a criminal case based mainly on allegations that Combs and two of its ex -girlfriends They had sex with a prostitute.
