Federal prosecutors have recently filed a superseding indictment against Sean "Diddy" Combs, 55, which alleges that he has sex trafficked at least three women over a span of two decades. The updated charges detail claims of coercion, intimidation, and abuse, including one shocking incident where he purportedly dangled a victim over a hotel balcony. According to documents filed in The New York Times, Combs has been held in Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center since his arrest in September 2024.

The expanded indictment reiterates earlier charges of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking initially filed against him in September but now claims that the racketeering conspiracy has extended from 2004 to 2024, thereby including more alleged victims and incidents. Notably, additional details emphasize that Combs used drugs and financial lures to manipulate these women into participating in commercial sex acts, dubbed "Freak Offs," often conducted in the presence of male sex workers. As reported by ABC News, these alleged acts were prearranged, with prosecutors suggesting that Combs systematically attempted to maintain control over his victims through threats and coercive methods.

Combs' attorney, Marc Agnifilo, maintains his client’s innocence, arguing that the prosecution's narrative is flawed and that past relationships have been mischaracterized as exploitative. In a statement, Agnifilo claimed, "The prosecution’s theory remains flawed... Mr. Combs is as committed as ever to fighting these charges and winning at trial," as noted by Reuters.

The indictment also sheds light on disturbing instances of violence, where Combs is accused of physically assaulting women, manipulating employees, and infamously using hotel security footage to cover up his abusive actions. The legal proceedings reveal ongoing tensions surrounding the interpretations of consent in his relationships, a point emphasized in defense filed by his legal team against claims of coercion, as reported by AP News.

Combs faces three counts—racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and violating the Mann Act—and has pled not guilty to all allegations. His trial is set to commence on May 5, 2025, in federal court in Manhattan.
