    Combs is a music icon, self-made entrepreneur, loving family man, and proven philanthropist

    They said the line! He’s a family man, pack it up folks. Nothing to see here.

      I mean, maybe he is. That doesn’t mean he isn’t also a repugnant sex trafficker.

      We can always wait for the tell-all books peddled as airport fodder by his kids in 15 years, but I don’t think many will care.

        My point was that being a “family man” does not excuse actual sex trafficking. Which is what the defense is trying to imply.

        I’m afraid your second sentence is missing one “not” that I’m sure you meant to include. It changes the meaning, hence the downvotes.
