SEARCH ON FOR THE P DIDDY UK VICTIMS

British detectives joined the New York team after they arrived as part of their probe into the hip-hop star.

The music mogul - real name Sean Combs has been charged with sex trafficking, drug possession and firearms offences in America, and has been a regular visitor to Britain for three decades.

Last night a US source told us: "Wherever he went, the team are now following. Outside of the States, he enjoyed no place more than the UK."

Combs, 54, has been in custody since New York cops arrested him two weeks ago over claims dating back to 2008.

He is accused of forcing women to take part in filmed, drugged-fuelled orgies with male sex workers.

Prosecutors have seized flight records that show his lengthy travel history to the UK.

The source added: "Given the huge amount of time he spent in London, there are concerns that the alleged offending was not confined to America's shores.

"Prosecutors are imploring anyone in the UK who may have information they feel could help the investigation to get in touch."

They are led by Damian Williams, the prosecutor who helped put Ghislaine Maxwell behind bars for 20 years for procuring girls for paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein.

Combs is now in the same ratinfested jail where Brit socialite Maxwell, 62, was held before her 2021 trial for sex trafficking.

The New York-born billionaire is one of the world's richest and most powerful musicians and has made regular trips to Britain since rocketing to fame with the song I'll Be Missing You in 1997, when he was known as Puff Daddy. In 2001, he attended Sir Elton John's White Tie and Tiara Ball at the Rocket Man's Windsor mansion.

Combs was pictured with stars, including socialite Lady Victoria Hervey, who would join him on his yacht at Cannes and at the MTV Awards Party in Barcelona years later. He went on to be courted by high society, including the royals.
