Sean "Diddy" Combs was recently indicted in the US for a long list of disturbing crimes. It is alleged that for years, he used his power and wealth to force and manipulate women into sexual acts, resorting to violence and blackmail to maintain control over them. This indictment was unsealed on Tuesday, and Combs, also known as a successful music mogul, pleaded not guilty during his court appearance.
According to Assistant US Attorney Emily Johnson, Combs has a history of physical and sexual abuse towards his victims, and has a long track record of obstructing justice. She described him as a "serial abuser and obstructor," and urged that he be kept in custody without bail. However, Combs' lawyers argued for his release on a $50 million bond, with home detention and electronic monitoring.
The indictment outlines the disturbing details of Combs' alleged crimes, including drugging and coercing women and male sex workers into "Freak Offs," which were days-long sexual performances. It also references a video of an attack on his former girlfriend, R&B singer Cassie. The indictment claims that Combs would physically assault, punch, and drag women, often with the help of his personal assistants and security staff.
Prosecutors have stated that they have interviewed over 50 victims and witnesses, and are expecting more to come forward. They plan to use financial and electronic records, as well as videos of the "Freak Offs," as evidence against Combs.
Combs' lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, maintains that his client is innocent and has come to New York voluntarily to deal with the charges. Combs himself seemed composed and confident during his court appearance, with his three sons also in attendance. He was arrested on Monday night in Manhattan, following a six-month investigation into sex trafficking that involved raids on his homes in Los Angeles and Miami.
If convicted of all charges, Combs could face a mandatory minimum sentence of 15 years in prison, with the possibility of life behind bars. This case has been closely followed by the media, and updates can be received through a WhatsApp channel that covers breaking news, celebrity gossip, and sports updates.
