Some of the similarities in the cases brought against Sean “Diddy” Combs this week and Robert Sylvester Kelly several years ago are evident at a glance: Both are world famous, powerful and influential musicians who were accused of sex crimes by federal prosecutors in New York City.

TMZ released footage that purportedly shows Sean "Diddy" Combs being detained at the Park Hyatt New York the night before he was charged in court.

Combs’ public image projected wealth and achievement, but the indictment that led to his arrest paints a more sinister picture of his private life.

Since the #MeToo movement took off, a multitude of male celebrities have been accused of sexual misconduct, but only a handful of those in the music and film industries who have actually faced criminal charges.
