Federal agents arrested Sean 'Diddy' Combs in Manhattan on three felony counts: racketeering, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution. The unsealed indictment reveals extensive allegations spanning 16 years, from 2008 to present.

Key allegations from the indictment:

• Combs allegedly operated a criminal enterprise that engaged in sex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, arson, bribery, and obstruction of justice
• Organized "freak off" parties where victims were forced into recorded sex acts
• Used illegal drugs to control victims, often requiring IV fluids for recovery
• Employed staff to facilitate and cover up alleged abuse
• Physically assaulted women through striking, punching, dragging, and throwing objects
• Used recorded footage as blackmail to ensure victims' silence

Federal prosecutors are seeking to recover significant financial assets from Combs. During raids on his Miami and Los Angeles homes, agents seized 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant.

Legal developments:

• Combs pleaded not guilty to all charges in New York
• Court decision pending on bail or monitored house arrest
• U.S. Attorney Damian Williams confirmed the investigation remains ongoing

In May 2024, surveillance footage emerged showing Combs allegedly assaulting former girlfriend Cassie Ventura in a hotel hallway, for which he later apologized.
