Sean “Diddy” Combs has been charged with sex trafficking, racketeering and transporting individuals for prostitution, following a grand jury indictment. The charges center on allegations that Combs used his position of power in the music industry to coerce women into participating in what were referred to as “Freak Offs,” sexually explicit gatherings that were often recorded. Prosecutors claim that he provided drugs, including ketamine and ecstasy to his victims, who were promised career opportunities or financial support in exchange for their participation. The recordings were allegedly used as leverage to ensure the victims’ silence.
During his arraignment in a Manhattan courtroom, Combs pleaded not guilty to all charges. His defense attorney, Marc Agnifilo, argued that the sexual acts were consensual, denying any involvement in sex trafficking. Combs remains in custody after the judge rejected a $50 million bond proposal, citing concerns over his potential danger to the community and risk of obstructing justice.
The indictment also accuses Combs and his associates of using violence and intimidation such as arson and kidnapping to cover up the illegal activities. Federal agents who raided his homes earlier in the year found large quantities of lubricant, baby oil, narcotics and firearms with defaced serial numbers.
