Revealing Revelations of Sean “Diddy” Combs’ Criminal Case
Federal prosecutors insist there is no escape for Sean “Diddy” Combs.
The founder of Bad Boy Records has entered a plea of not guilty to charges of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking, each carrying a potential life sentence, as well as transportation for purposes of prostitution.
Despite Combs’ denial, officials claim his arrest on September 16 is just the beginning of their pursuit of justice against the 54-year-old for alleged crimes spanning over a decade, with their investigation ongoing.
“From at least 2008 until now, Combs reportedly mistreated, threatened, and pressured victims to satisfy his sexual desires, defend his image, and hide his actions,” stated Damian Williams, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, when discussing the rapper’s charges in a September 17 press briefing.
Williams alleged that Combs utilized a vast network of workers in his business empire and other associates to conceal crimes including sex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, arson, bribery, and obstruction of justice.
“The indictment claims that Combs exploited and mistreated women and others for years through various means,” the prosecutor added, pointing out that “force, threats, and coercion were used to compel victims to partake in prolonged sexual acts with male sex workers.”
