Shocking details from Sean “Diddy” Combs’ criminal case

Federal prosecutors claim there is no way out Sean “Diddy” Combs.

The Bad Boy Records founder has pleaded not guilty to one count each of conspiracy and sex trafficking, each of which carries a maximum sentence of life in prison, and one count of transportation for the purpose of prostitution.

But authorities said Combs’ Sept. 16 arrest was just the latest step in their effort to bring the 54-year-old to justice for more than a decade of alleged crimes and that their investigation is far from complete.

“From at least 2008 to the present, Combs abused, threatened and coerced victims to fulfill his sexual desires, protect his reputation and conceal his behavior.” Damian WilliamsU.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York detailed the charges against the rapper during a press conference on September 17th.

Williams said Combs is accused of using a vast network of employees of his business empire and other associates to cover up crimes including sex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, arson, bribery and obstruction of justice.

“The indictment alleges that Combs abused and exploited women and other people over a period of years and in a variety of ways,” the prosecutor continued, using “violence, threats of violence and coercion to induce victims to engage in prolonged sexual performances with males to move commercial sex workers.”
