Lawsuit Alleges Sean “Diddy” Combs of Rape and Fathering Child
Diddy Charged With Sex Trafficking & Racketeering
Following Combs’ arrest based on a sealed indictment, the indictment was revealed on Sept. 17.
The 54-year-old was accused of racketeering conspiracy; sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion; and transportation for prostitution, as per court documents acquired by NBC News.
The indictment claimed that Combs used abuse, threats, and coercion towards women and others in his circle to satisfy his sexual desires, protect his image, and hide his actions for over a decade, with the alleged misconduct commencing around 2008.
“To accomplish this,” the documents detailed, “Combs relied on the staff, assets, and influence of the multi-faceted business empire he directed and controlled—establishing a criminal organization whose members and affiliates carried out, or tried to carry out, various crimes including sex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, arson, bribery, and obstruction of justice.”
As reported by NBC News, Combs pleaded not guilty and was refused bail.
“He’s going to contest this with all his strength and determination,” his lawyer Marc Agnifilo expressed to journalists outside the court preceding the arraignment, “and the complete trust of his legal team.”
