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.

During a hearing from prosecutors in New York, Nathan Williams, the district attorney, outlined the newly-released indictment for reporters saying in part that Combs forced women to engage in sexual intercourse with other men.

BBC journalist asked: “how many women are involved”? He should have asked: how many People are involved? There are many men/boys involved.
