Sean 'Diddy' Combs was arrested on September 16, 2024, in New York and faces serious federal charges including sex trafficking and racketeering, as outlined in a recently unsealed indictment. The indictment details a decade-long pattern of abuse, alleging that Combs orchestrated elaborate sex parties known as 'Freak Offs' where he manipulated and coerced women and commercial sex workers into drugged performances, often recording them for potential blackmail. Federal investigators previously raided his homes in Los Angeles and Miami as part of the investigation, which has revealed accusations of forced labor, kidnapping, and other violent crimes. Combs, who has denied all allegations and plans to plead not guilty, is described as heading a criminal enterprise that exploited his influence and resources. His attorney emphasized Combs's cooperation with the investigation and called him an innocent man. The fallout from these allegations comes amidst several lawsuits, including a prior case from his ex-girlfriend Cassie, who accused him of sexual assault.
