Friday, January 31, 2025 - Sean "Diddy" Combs is facing additional allegations of s£xual abuse and racketeering, according to an amended indictment in the music mogul's ongoing criminal case.
Combs, who was charged with racketeering, s£x
trafficking, and transportation to engage in pr0stitution following
his September 2024 arrest, was accused of victimizing a trio of women as
part of his alleged s£x trafficking enterprise in a revised indictment filed in
the Southern District of New York on Thursday.
"Combs and other members and associates of the Combs
Enterprise wielded the power and prestige of Combs' role at the Combs business
to intimidate, threaten, and lure female victims into Combs' orbit, often under
the pretense of a romantic relationship," the indictment reads, according
to court documents.
In the original indictment against Combs, filed on Sept. 12,
2024, federal prosecutors claimed Combs turned his "multi-faceted business
empire" into a "criminal enterprise," in which he and his
associates engaged in kidnapping, arson, and physical violence, sex trafficking
and forced labour, among other crimes.
Thursday's revised indictment alleges Combs used
"force, threats of force, and coercion" to compel his alleged
victims, which include three unidentified women, to "engage in commercial
sex acts." In exchange for their participation, Combs reportedly
compensated these individuals with "monetary payments, career
opportunities, and payment of rent and housing expenses."
Combs, who remains in custody at the Special Housing
Unit in Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center, has denied all
accusations against him.
His upcoming trial is scheduled to begin on May 5.
