Bad Boy Records founder, Sean “Diddy” Combs was hit with sex trafficking and racketeering charges Tuesday as part of a probe that accuses him of abusing women and forcing them to participate in “Freak Off” performances.
The charges against the once revered hip-hop mogul was unsealed after he was arrested in Manhattan late Monday — some six months after the feds raided his mansions in Los Angeles and Miami as part of the investigation into the alleged decades-long abuse.
The disgraced music mogul is expected to be presented before a Manhattan federal judge later Tuesday on the three federal charges of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution.
The 14-page indictment paints Combs as the kingpin of a criminal enterprise that allowed him to allegedly abuse, threaten and coerce women for years “to fulfill his sexual desires, protect his reputation, and conceal his conduct.
“To do so, Combs relied on the employees, resources, and influence of the multi-faceted business empire that he led and controlled — creating a criminal enterprise whose members and associates engaged in, and attempted to engage in, among other crimes, sex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, arson, bribery, and obstruction of justice,” the complaint says.
As part of his sordid empire of sexual crimes, Combs would allegedly lure female victims and male sex workers into drugged-up, often days-long, sexual performances dubbed “Freak Offs,” the indictment charges.
