Sean Diddy Combs has been charged with crimes such as racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution, according to a federal indictment that was unsealed in a court in New York today. The rapper mogul, facing several civil lawsuits, appeared in court on Tuesday afternoon and pleaded not guilty. Sean Diddy Combs, who also goes by monikers such as P. Diddy and more, was reportedly arrested late Monday in New York.
Prosecutors have alleged that Combs ran a “criminal enterprise” created as part of his business empire, including his record label Bad Boy Entertainment. He has also earned endorsements and investments in several other businesses.
Sean Diddy Combs has been mentioned as the leader and his record label. Employees and associates are considered members of the criminal enterprise involved in the federal crime of racketeering conspiracy. Combs allegedly used business associates, staff who worked for him as well as others to cover the abuse.
The indictment also mentions a video that showed him physically abusing a person. Combs was seen beating his former girlfriend, Cassandra Ventura, popularly known as Cassie, in a video released by CNN. The outlet released the video, which showed the physical abuse that took place in a hotel in Los Angeles, California.
The indictment also says that law enforcement had seized guns, including AR-15 rifles and ammo, as well as drugs, baby oil, and lubricant when they searched Combs’s homes in Miami and Los Angeles. CWEB reported the raid that took place earlier this year.
The indictment also alleges that the founder of the Bad Boy record label used to hold “Freak Offs.” These shows, which were sometimes electronically recorded, consisted of elaborate sex performances.
Victims were drugged, and coercion was also used to force them into sex acts with male sex workers that lasted days at a time. Some commercial sex workers were flown in from national and international destinations, and this was the reason for the trafficking charge.
Sean Combs and his team also reportedly brandished firearms “to intimidate and threaten others,” as well as used videos to intimidate victims. The abuse has occurred “between 2008 and the present”, according to Damien Williams, US attorney for the Southern District of New York.
