Based on the timeline provided in the search results, there are a few key points regarding when authorities may suspect Sean "Diddy" Combs first began alleged trafficking activities:

- Cassie Ventura's lawsuit alleged abuse beginning in 2007 when she signed to Combs' label and they began an on-and-off relationship. Her allegations included claims of forced sex with other men and rape.
- Another lawsuit alleged Combs and others raped a 17-year-old girl in 2003 after flying her to New York and giving her drugs and alcohol.
- The most recent civil complaint mentioned, filed in July 2024, alleged sex trafficking by Combs between 2004-2009.

- Investigators seized firearms and phones belonging to Combs, though the exact number of devices confiscated was not specified.
- The raids were aimed at obtaining all video footage on phones, computers, drives, and CCTV before any of it could potentially be destroyed.
- Prosecutors were likely searching for evidence related to "sex or drug trafficking, production of child pornography, or firearms," according to former federal prosecutor Neama Rahmani.
- The raids were conducted with the element of surprise and force to prevent the destruction of evidence, particularly video evidence.
- According to civil lawsuits, Combs allegedly recorded sex acts and had hidden cameras in his homes.
- Pictures from inside Combs' Los Angeles home, later posted on TMZ, showed that agents had thoroughly searched the property and taken all computer equipment and drives.
