On Sept. 16, federal law enforcement agents arrested Sean “Diddy” Combs and charged him with racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution after a months-long investigation into the musical artist and producer.
The federal indictment accuses Combs of kidnapping, arson, bribery and assault in order to run a concealed sex trafficking ring. Officials said he forced his victims to engage in days-long sexual performances known as “freak offs.” Combs allegedly would manage and record these acts and threaten, drug or physically harm his victims to get them to comply or keep them quiet after the fact.
