Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs indictment: US prosecutors accuse rapper of sex trafficking, ‘freak-offs’, drugs, and more
Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs faces serious allegations of sex trafficking and racketeering, detailed in a federal indictment. Accusations include orchestrating 'freak-offs' with drug use and coerced sex, alongside claims of violence and blackmail involving multiple victims.
Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, the US rapper and music mogul, faces serious allegations including sex trafficking and racketeering. A recent 14-page federal indictment details the disturbing claims against him, centring on the controversial “freak-offs” that prosecutors allege were part of a criminal ‘enterprise’.
This comes after a wave of fresh allegations by a woman named Thalia Graves who has alleged that Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs and his head of security raped her and recorded it on video at his New York recording studio in 2001, according to a new lawsuit.
Details of the Sex Trafficking Case Against Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs
- ‘Freak-Offs’ Defined: The indictment describes gatherings involving a woman and a male prostitute in a luxury hotel suite, equipped for filming with baby oil and drugs. These sessions, known as “freak-offs,” sometimes lasted for days and included a cleanup crew.
- Criminal Charges: The 14-page federal indictment accuses Combs of various crimes, including arson, bribery, kidnapping, and obstruction of justice. Central to the case is the claim that he operated a criminal “enterprise” coordinating these events and covering up any aftermath.
- Graphic Allegations: Prosecutors depict the freak-offs as “elaborate and produced sex performances” characterised by heavy drug use and coerced sex, with participants requiring IV fluids to recover afterwards.
- Enabler Network: The indictment suggests Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs led a team of enablers responsible for arranging prostitutes, securing hotel rooms, and managing damage control. Witnesses reportedly observed violence during these events, a claim the defence disputes.
- Victim Accounts: While the indictment mentions one specific victim, prosecutors assert there are multiple accusers, alleging that Combs used footage from these encounters to blackmail women.
