Sean 'Diddy' Combs faces sex trafficking charges with new allegations

Prosecutors have expanded the indictment against Sean 'Diddy' Combs, alleging he engaged in sex trafficking involving at least three women and reportedly dangled a victim off a hotel balcony during a two-decade racketeering conspiracy. The updated indictment, filed in Manhattan federal court, claims the conspiracy spanned from 2004 to 2024, extending four years beyond the original timeframe. Combs, who has pleaded not guilty and remains in custody without bail, is accused of using his influence as a music mogul to intimidate and lure women, subjecting them to various forms of coercion and violence. Specific allegations include throwing objects and people, as well as physical abuse towards his victims. Combs' attorney stated that the indictment contains no new charges and criticized the prosecution's characterization of former girlfriends as prostitutes. The trial is scheduled for May 5.
