Sean 'Diddy' Combs is now facing new charges of sex trafficking involving at least three women as part of a 20-year abuse scheme. The updated indictment adds new allegations of forced sexual performances and the transportation of victims across state lines
Sean 'Diddy' Combs is now facing new criminal charges, with prosecutors claiming he trafficked at least three women as part of a two-decade-long sexual abuse scheme. The updated indictment, filed Thursday, adds more victims and allegations of sex trafficking across state and international borders.
The three-count indictment adds to the previous one from last September, which initially identified only one victim. Prosecutors are pressing charges against Combs for racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution. The indictment details how Combs allegedly used his vast business network, including his record label, Bad Boy Entertainment, to perpetuate the abuse.
The updated indictment reveals that Combs allegedly involved women in "freak offs," where they were made to perform sexually with male sex workers, sometimes transported across state lines. It also outlines how Combs allegedly used drugs such as ketamine, ecstasy, methamphetamine, and psychedelic mushrooms to entice women into participating in these activities.
Among the victims is Combs’ former girlfriend, R&B singer Cassie Ventura, who filed a civil lawsuit accusing him of physical abuse, sexual slavery, and rape. Combs denied her allegations, and the lawsuit was settled shortly after being filed. The latest indictment includes further accusations of physical violence, including an alleged incident in March 2016, when Combs was captured on hotel security footage dragging a woman who attempted to leave a "freak off."
Combs, 55, continues to deny the charges and remains incarcerated at Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center, awaiting trial. His defense attorney, Marc Agnifilo, has argued that Combs and Cassie shared a "toxic, loving 11-year relationship" and that the sexual activities described were consensual.
The criminal charges stem from a federal investigation, which led to agents raiding Combs' Los Angeles and Miami Beach homes in early 2024. Authorities reportedly discovered drugs and over 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant, allegedly used in the "freak offs."
Combs, whose career as a music mogul and founder of Bad Boy Records once helped propel artists like Mary J. Blige and The Notorious B.I.G. to fame, now faces numerous civil lawsuits alleging sexual assault and other misconduct, all of which he denies.
Sean Combs’ ex-girlfriend Casandra Ventura, known as Cassie, offered harrowing testimony in a federal trial, accusing the music mogul of repeated physical abuse and coercion.

Anthony Ricco, one of Sean "Diddy" Combs' defense attorneys, has filed to step down from the legal team ahead of his upcoming human trafficking trial, citing an inability to continue effectively representing the hip-hop mogul.

P Diddy faces six new sexual abuse lawsuits, including claims involving a minor, filed just a month after his criminal charges for serious offenses. Combs has denied all allegations, with a trial set for May 2025.
