LA County DA reveals why he CAN'T prosecute Diddy after horrific video showing him assaulting Cassie Ventura in hotel hallway
The LA District Attorney's office has revealed it cannot prosecute Diddy after horrific footage showed him assaulting Cassie Ventura in a hotel.
It all comes down to the statute of limitations for assault, and since the date of Diddy's alleged attack on Ventura at the InterContinental Hotel was March 5, 2016, the DA says the window to prosecute has lapsed.
'If the conduct depicted occurred in 2016, unfortunately we would be unable to charge as the conduct would have occurred beyond the timeline where a crime of assault can be prosecuted,' the LA DA's office wrote in a statement to Instagram.
The office added that law enforcement hasn't pursued charges against Diddy, real name Sean Combs, related to the attack seen in video obtained by CNN on Friday.
California's statute of limitations for simple assault is one year, though aggravated assault is three years. Based on the timeline, neither charge could be levied against Diddy.

Two days after Diddy's punches and kicks to Ventura in the hotel room, the then-couple appeared on the red carpet holding hands for the premiere of the movie The Perfect Match on March 7.
Images unearthed by DailyMail.com show Ventura in two separate outfits that night, with what appear to be several bruises visible on her body.
The horrifying video shows Diddy shirtless with a towel wrapped around his waist, chasing Cassie down the hall in the hotel.
As she tried to get into an elevator, he grabbed her by the back of the head and slammed her on to the ground.
He then kicked her as she lay on the ground motionless, before grabbing the two designer bags she'd tried to escape with.

Diddy stood over her, kicked her again, and then dragged her back to their room by the hoodie.
In a statement to DailyMail.com, Ventura's attorney Douglas Wigdor said: 'The gut-wrenching video has only further confirmed the disturbing and predatory behavior of Mr. Combs.
'Words cannot express the courage and fortitude that Ms. Ventura has shown in coming forward to bring this to light.'
Ventura sued Combs last year alleging rape and a range of other offenses, though they settled out of court in November for an undisclosed amount.
In her suit, Ventura recalled an incident similar to the one caught on security footage at the LA hotel.
The suit claims, 'In on around March 2016 Mr Combs, during an FO at the InterContinental Hotel in Century City, Mr Combs became extremely intoxicated and punched Ms Ventura in the face, giving her a black eye.
'After he fell asleep, Ms. Ventura tried to leave the hotel room, but as she exited, Ms Combs awoke and began screaming at Ms Ventura. He followed her into the hallway while yelling at her.

Haunting footage of Sean 'Diddy' Combs and his former girlfriend Cassie Ventura on the red carpet of the 2018 Met Gala has resurfaced online. There is a tense dynamic between the couple, even two years after the assault in the hotel
'He grabbed her, and then took glass vases in the hallway and threw then at her, causing glass to shatter around them as she ran to the elevator to escape.'
Ventura claimed she escaped Diddy but ultimately decided to return out of fear for upsetting him.
After the suit was settled, Ventura released a statement: 'I have decided to resolve this matter amicably on terms that I have some level of control.'
'I want to thank my family, fans and lawyers for their unwavering support.'
In his own statement following the settlement, Diddy's lawyer said his settling of the case was in no way an admission of guilt. His lawyer added that he denies all of Ventura's allegations.
