Sean 'Diddy' Combs sexually assaulted 10-year-old boy after drugging him during 'audition,' shocking new lawsuit claims



Sean “Diddy” Combs is accused of drugging and sexually assaulting a 10-year-old boy in a New York City hotel room in 2005, according to a new lawsuit.

The California boy allegedly was interested in becoming an actor and/or rapper, according to Variety.

The boy later woke up in tears with his pants undone and pain in his anus and buttocks, CNN reported.

The lawsuit says the boy's parents hired a music industry consultant who recommended that the family travel from Los Angeles, where they lived, to New York to meet with music industry figures. The consultant allegedly arranged for the boy to have an "audition" with Combs, who reportedly requested to meet with the child alone before meeting his family.

The consultant brought the boy to Combs’ hotel room and left him alone with him, according to the lawsuit.

The boy reportedly performed a few rap songs for Combs, who allegedly told the 10-year-old he could “make him a star” and asked him how badly he wanted it.

According to the lawsuit, the “plaintiff responded, as might any 10-year-old child, that he would ‘do anything.'”

While in the hotel room, someone presented the boy with a soda. Shortly after drinking the soda, the alleged victim said he reportedly began to feel “a little funny.” The plaintiff’s attorney claimed the drink was spiked with drugs “including but not limited to GHB and/or ecstasy.”

Combs allegedly instructed the child to move closer to him and pushed him down, then told him something to the effect of “you have to do some stuff you don’t want to do sometimes.” The complaint alleged that Combs exposed his penis and told the boy to “kiss it.”

According to the complaint, the boy refused Diddy's sexual advances, but Combs forced the minor to perform oral sex on him. Soon after, the 10-year-old reportedly lost consciousness.

The boy later woke up in tears with his pants undone and pain in his anus and buttocks, CNN reported.

The 10-year-old allegedly told Diddy that he wanted to see his parents, and the Bad Boy Records founder reportedly threatened to hurt the child's parents if he said anything to anyone.

Once the consultant returned, she allegedly noticed the boy was “badly shaken.” The child's parents said their son appeared “lethargic and acting differently" after the "audition."

The lawsuit noted that since the purported sexual assault, the alleged victim suffered from “severe depression and anxiety, which leaves him hopeless and fatigued.”

Second lawsuit involves 17-year-old alleged victim

A second new lawsuit accused Combs of sexually assaulting an aspiring 17-year-old male music performer during a 2008 audition for Combs' "Making the Band" TV show, in which Combs determines the fate of entertainment hopefuls.

During the first interview with the alleged victim — which was one-on-one with Combs — the lawsuit states that "Combs asked plaintiff hypothetical questions about handling situations involving sexual pressure.”

“As Combs described these scenarios, he began to sexually assault plaintiff by touching plaintiff both over and under his clothing, including groping and fondling his penis and instructing plaintiff to undress,” the lawsuit alleges.

The alleged victim claimed Combs threatened that he had the ability to “make or break” his career.

At the second audition, the hip-hop producer reportedly told the teen to undress in order “to demonstrate the ability to embody a ‘sex idol’ persona.”

“This encounter eventually escalated into Combs forcing the plaintiff to perform oral sex on him, and Combs sodomizing the plaintiff,” the lawsuit claims.

At the third and final audition, Combs and his bodyguard reportedly sexually assaulted the teenager.

According to the suit, the contestant was eliminated from the reality TV competition “as Combs claimed that plaintiff was untrustworthy due to his reservations about performing oral sex on his bodyguard.”

The new lawsuits against Combs were filed in the Supreme Court of the state of New York on Monday. They are the latest lawsuits against Combs from attorney Tony Buzbee, who said he's representing more than 120 individuals in civil lawsuits accusing the music mogul of sex crimes over the course of more than two decades. Buzbee said the youngest victim was only 9 years old when Combs allegedly sexually assaulted him.

Combs' attorneys did not address the specific allegations in the two new lawsuits but told CNN their client never sexually assaulted or trafficked anyone.

“As we’ve said before, Mr. Combs cannot respond to every new publicity stunt, even in response to claims that are facially ridiculous or demonstrably false,” Combs’ attorneys said in a statement. “Mr. Combs and his legal team have full confidence in the facts and the integrity of the judicial process. In court, the truth will prevail: that Mr. Combs never sexually assaulted or trafficked anyone — man or woman, adult or minor.”

As Blaze News reported earlier this month, a lawsuit accused Combs and another male celebrity of raping a 13-year-old girl as a female star watched the alleged sex crime.

In September, Combs was arrested and hit with charges, including racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and interstate transportation for prostitution.

Federal prosecutors outlined sex acts known as “freak offs” during which Combs allegedly organized the transportation of sex workers across state lines and internationally — and often recorded them.

U.S. Attorney Damian Williams previously said, "The freak offs sometimes lasted days at a time, involved multiple commercial sex workers, and often involved a variety of narcotics — such as ketamine, ecstasy, and GHB [gamma hydroxybutyrate] — which Combs distributed to the victims to keep them obedient and compliant.”

Combs pleaded not guilty to the charges.

Combs, 54, is currently incarcerated at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York.

He is facing at least 27 civil cases, and his criminal trial is scheduled to begin in May 2025.

Clive Davis: The monster who made Diddy



As the allegations against Sean “Diddy” Combs become ever more sickening — the latest is that he raped a 13-year-old girl with another celebrity, while a female star watched — one might start to wonder just how he accrued so much power and influence in the first place.

Put bluntly: How did an exceedingly average rapper with no discernible talent become one of the most influential figures in hip hop?

The answer? Clive Davis.

Why has Davis remained so untouchable? The most logical explanation, I suggest, is that he’s a protected government informant.

Call me Daddy

Diddy didn’t rise through musical genius or visionary skill. He wasn’t Tupac, whose words carried the weight of a generation, or Dr. Dre, who transformed the genre with his beats.

No, Diddy’s real talent lay in playing the role of a figurehead, and the man pulling the strings behind the scenes was Clive Davis. It was Davis who saw Diddy’s malleability, his willingness to play the game, and his lack of real power.

Diddy wasn’t chosen for his musical prowess — he was chosen because he was controllable. Davis needed a puppet — someone only too willing to bend over and take it like a "man." Diddy fit the bill perfectly.

To many readers, the name Clive Davis might not be immediately recognizable. But within the music industry, he holds a reputation comparable to that of Harvey Weinstein in Hollywood. And the comparisons to Weinstein are fitting in more ways than one.

The 92-year-old’s career is riddled with corruption, criminality, and exploitation, all meticulously avoided by sanitized hagiographies that celebrate Davis as the music biz's benevolent elder statesman.

One cannot discuss Davis without discussing his notorious involvement in the so-called "drugola" scandal while president of CBS Records in the early 1970s. A sleazy update on payola — the practice in which record companies bribe radio station DJs to give certain songs more airplay, artificially inflating their popularity — drugola added heroin and cocaine to sweeten the pot.

The scheme unraveled when David Wynshaw, a CBS executive, was arrested in connection with a heroin ring tied to the mafia.

Wynshaw cooperated with federal authorities, revealing that Columbia had paid $250,000 in bribes to radio stations, particularly those catering to black audiences, to boost the airplay of its artists. This revelation implicated Davis in a wider network that combined corporate interests with criminal activities.

Davis’ proximity to organized crime became increasingly evident as more details emerged. Wynshaw's testimony revealed weekly payoffs to Kal Rudman, a powerful figure in radio promotion, and Davis himself was accused of misappropriating over $94,000 of company funds for personal use.

Davis’ ties to the Genovese crime family further entangled him in a world where music and mafia operations collided; the Brooklyn-born executive kept up appearances by funneling his dirty money through a maze of shell companies.

Unbelievably, Davis never spent a single day behind bars. The elites don’t just play by different rules — they write them. And in Clive Davis’ case, he’s the one holding the pen.

That’s my boy

In 1993, Davis took the future Diddy (then going by Sean "Puff Daddy" Combs) under his wing, launching Bad Boy Records and making the then-24-year-old the next big name in hip-hop.

And Diddy never, ever forgot his daddy.

His endless praise for Davis — his talk of “forever gratitude” and “LOVE” — is more than just flattery. It’s a confession.

Without Davis, Diddy would be nothing. It was Davis who gave him the industry muscle to launch Bad Boy Entertainment. Every step of Diddy’s rise, from his multimillion-dollar empire to his rather impressive lube collection, traces back to Davis’ early investment.

Of course, as is clear now, Diddy’s success had its casualties. Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes of TLC, a group that skyrocketed to fame only to go bankrupt — thanks to Davis siphoning off their earnings — was one of them.

Always outspoken, Lopes was reportedly gearing up to confront Davis and demand her share. But before she could make a move, Diddy allegedly tipped off Davis, shutting down her plan. Soon after, Lopes died in a car crash in Honduras. Officially ruled an accident, her death left many wondering if it was more than that — a message about what happens when you challenge the wrong people.

Who shot ya?

In truth, Diddy's entire career has been characterized by dark moments that mysteriously go unpunished. In 1991, at a City College event he organized, a stampede left nine people dead after warnings of overcrowding were ignored.

The tragedy should have destroyed him, yet Diddy, much like his mentor, managed to emerge from the chaos unscathed. The same could be said for the unsolved murders of the aforementioned Tupac and the Notorious B.I.G.

Eminem recently reignited rumors linking Diddy to the murders of the hip-hop heavyweights on his track “Fuel.”

The "Rap God" first hinted at Diddy’s involvement in Tupac’s death on his 2018 dis track “Killshot." But last month, he took things up a notch, suggesting that Biggie’s murder was also directly tied to Diddy.

With lines like, “Puff’s? Till he’s in police handcuffs, guilty, will he step up?” Eminem makes his accusations clear. With the two biggest names in rap eliminated, Diddy's path to the top of the musical mountain was cleared.

A path paved by Davis, a man whose influence extends far beyond his perverted protégé.

Collateral damage

Take his relationship with the late, great Whitney Houston, for instance. Publicly, Davis claimed the singer was like a daughter to him, but when she was found dead in the Beverly Hilton, Davis carried on as if nothing had happened.

To be clear, he partied the night away as Houston’s lifeless body lay just a few floors above. Like so many other artists, Houston was a pawn in Davis’ larger game, discarded when she was no longer useful to him.

Why has Davis remained so untouchable? The most logical explanation, I suggest, is that he’s a protected government informant. How else could one operate with such impunity?

The partnership between Davis and Diddy reveals the ugliest truth about the music industry: It’s not about art or talent — it’s about power and control, subterfuge and sabotage. Diddy wasn’t a visionary — he was a sycophantic stooge. Lisa Lopes and Whitney Houston weren’t just stars who burned out too soon — they were collateral damage.

Diddy might be a monster, but never forget Clive Davis — the mastermind who created him.

Sean 'Diddy' Combs accused of raping 13-year-old girl with another celebrity as female star watched, new lawsuit claims



A new wave of lawsuits have been initiated against Sean “Diddy” Combs, which include accusations that the hip-hop producer raped a 13-year-old girl with a fellow celebrity as a female star watched the alleged sex crime.

On Sunday, Houston-based attorney Tony Buzbee filed five new civil lawsuits against Combs in New York federal court under the New York City Victims of Gender-Motivated Violence Protection Act. Buzbee had already filed six previous jury-seeking suits against the music mogul for alleged sex crimes.

The lawsuit claims that after the purported sexual assault, the alleged victim 'fell into a deep depression which continues to affect every facet of her life.'

Buzbee told NBC News, "We will let the allegations in the filed complaints speak for themselves and will work to see that justice is done. We expect to be filing cases weekly naming Mr. Combs and others as defendants as we continue to gather evidence and prepare the filings."

Buzbee said he is representing more than 120 individuals in civil lawsuits accusing Combs of sex crimes over the course of more than two decades. Buzzbee said the youngest alleged victim was only 9 years old when Diddy reportedly sexually assaulted him.

According to the latest lawsuit against Diddy, an alleged child sex crime occurred at an afterparty following the MTV Video Music Awards in September 2000.

The alleged victim, now 37, claimed she was raped at the afterparty when she was only 13 years old. The alleged victim — identified as Jane Doe — claimed to have felt “woozy and lightheaded” after one drink at the party.

“Looking for a place to rest, plaintiff entered what she believed to be an empty bedroom so she could lie down for a moment,” the 19-page lawsuit stated, according to Deadline.

“Soon after, Combs, along with a male and female celebrity, entered the room,” the 19-page action says. “Combs aggressively approached plaintiff with a crazed look in his eyes, grabbed her, and said, ‘You are ready to party!'”

“Combs then threw plaintiff toward another male celebrity, Celebrity A, who removed plaintiff’s clothes as she grew more and more disoriented,” the lawsuit contends. “Plaintiff was held down by Celebrity A who vaginally raped her while Combs and Celebrity B, a female, watched."

"After the male celebrity finished, Combs then vaginally raped plaintiff while the Celebrity A and Celebrity B watched," the suit alleges. "Combs attempted to force plaintiff to perform oral sex on him, but she resisted by hitting Combs in the neck; he stopped.”

The lawsuit does not name the male and female celebrities.

The alleged victim said she left “the large white house with a gated U-shaped driveway” after the claimed sexual assault, and her father picked her up.

The lawsuit claims that after the purported sexual assault, the alleged victim "fell into a deep depression which continues to affect every facet of her life.”

Rolling Stone reported that another victim said he was 17 years old when Combs sexually abused him.

The alleged victim — an aspiring singer identified as John Doe — said he went to a penthouse hotel party in Manhattan in 2022. The alleged victim claimed Diddy offered him a drink and “assured Doe that he could make him a star."

The alleged victim claimed he began to feel dizzy and confused.

He claims to have stumbled into a room where people were having group sex. The lawsuit claims Combs grabbed the alleged victim and "led him to the bed, forcing him to lie down on the bed against his will.”

"Combs grabbed Doe’s penis and genitals with his hand," the lawsuit alleges. "Combs manipulated Does’ genitals for an extended period of time, trying to get him aroused."

Another alleged victim claimed he was forced to sign a non-disclosure agreement in order to attend a party at Combs’ Holmby Hills mansion following the 2022 BET Awards. The alleged victim claimed he was handed a cocktail and soon felt “disoriented, dizzy and weak.”

The lawsuit states that the alleged victim reportedly was escorted into a small room where nearly a dozen people were engaging in group sex. After “realizing his significant impairment,” Combs allegedly approached him and “removed his pants, and began performing non-consensual oral sex onto him,” the suit claims.

Rolling Stone reported that Diddy's criminal defense team filed a motion with U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian on Sunday night, asking for a gag order that would prohibit “further extrajudicial statements from prospective witnesses and their lawyers that substantially interfere with Mr. Combs’s right to a fair trial.”

According to Page Six, Combs' legal team said: "The press conference and 1-800 number that preceded today’s barrage of filings were clear attempts to garner publicity. Mr. Combs and his legal team have full confidence in the facts, their legal defenses, and the integrity of the judicial process. In court, the truth will prevail: that Mr. Combs has never sexually assaulted anyone — adult or minor, man or woman.”

As Blaze News reported last month, Combs was arrested in New York City after the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York charged him with racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and interstate transportation for prostitution.

The indictment read: “Members and associates of the Combs Enterprise engaged in, and attempted to engage in, among other activities, sex trafficking, forced labor, interstate transportation for purposes of prostitution, coercion, and enticement to engage in prostitution, narcotics offenses, kidnapping, arson, bribery, and obstruction of justice.”

The indictment describes sex acts known as “freak offs,” in which Combs allegedly organized the transportation of sex workers across state lines and internationally — and often recorded them.

U.S. Attorney Damian Williams previously said, "The freak offs sometimes lasted days at a time, involved multiple commercial sex workers, and often involved a variety of narcotics — such as ketamine, ecstasy, and GHB [gamma hydroxybutyrate] — which Combs distributed to the victims to keep them obedient and compliant.”

Diddy's federal trial is expected to begin in May. Combs has pleaded not guilty.

If convicted, Combs faces a minimum of 15 years in prison and up to life.

WATCH: Exclusive footage of the moment Diddy is arrested



If you haven’t heard, Sean “Diddy” Combs — and likely much of Hollywood — is in hot water after the U.S. Justice Department unsealed charges against the famous rapper.

The charges allege that he abused, threatened, and coerced women and others around him to fulfill his sexual desires, protect his reputation, and conceal his conduct.

Diddy reportedly accomplished this by relying on the employees and influence of the multifaceted business empire that he led and controlled. Under his leadership, this business empire became a “criminal enterprise” that allegedly included sex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, arson, bribery, and obstruction of justice.

Prosecutors have alleged that Diddy “engaged in persistent and pervasive patterns of abuse towards women and other individuals.”

Diddy also threw and engaged in “sex parties” that were referred to as “freak offs” — which apparently could last for days. At these parties, commercial sex workers allegedly were transported across state and international lines, women allegedly were forced to engage in extended sex acts with male commercial sex workers, and heavy drug use allegedly was involved.

Since these allegations came to light, many celebrities have begun deleting their social media feeds.

“Suddenly now, a bunch of big-time musicians have deleted their Twitter accounts. Usher’s Twitter account has disappeared,” Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” tells Clay Travis, noting that Pink’s account disappeared as well.

“The whole thing sounds like a honeypot,” he adds.

Travis believes it “feels Epstein-esque.”

“There was video being made of sex acts that may have been used for blackmail going forward, and the fact that he has not been able to get out on bail,” he continues, adding, “I think Diddy’s going to get killed.”

Did Diddy prey on a young Justin Bieber?



Justin Bieber’s life, for all its glittering success, is a story of tragedy — a cautionary tale of a simple kid thrust into a world of sadistic sleaze. At the age of 13, the Canadian artist burst onto the scene with “Baby." A fitting title if there ever was one.

In Bieber’s case, the transformation was shocking. His once-wholesome image was replaced by tattoos, addiction, depression, and erratic behavior.

You see, Bieber was just that — a baby surrounded by child predators. The entertainment industry, often seen as a glamorous playground, has repeatedly failed to protect its youngest stars. This isn’t a glitch in the system; it’s how the system operates. The entertainment industry is a breeding ground for manipulation, abuse, and exploitation.

It's a place where innocence goes to die.

Recently, Bieber, now 30, has faced some criticism (most notably from Maureen Callahan and Megyn Kelly) for not commenting on the arrest of Sean "Diddy" Combs. While Kelly questioned why Bieber has not spoken out, Candace Owens took the conversation in a much darker direction.

What did Diddy do?

In a recent episode of her show, titled "What Did Diddy Do to Justin Bieber?" Owens raised unsettling questions about the disgraced music mogul's interactions with Bieber when he was just 16.

While Owens has a taste for the sensational, her points deserve attention, especially given the context. She referred to footage of Bieber, apparently under the influence, at one of Diddy’s infamous parties and asked whether inappropriate behavior may have occurred. "Justin Bieber is not sober," Owens said. "He is clearly very under the influence at this party. ... Diddy may have done some inappropriate things with him."

He may have. Then again, the lube-loving lecher may not have. But this is Hollywood we are talking about, a place where young stars are routinely deceived, defiled, and discarded by those who make and break careers.

In Bieber’s case, the transformation was shocking. His once-wholesome image was replaced by tattoos, addiction, depression, and erratic behavior. While the world pointed fingers at his antics, few paused to ask how this teen found himself in such a dark place so quickly.

Bieber's story is hardly unique. It's very rare to find a child star who isn't damaged in some way. Britney Spears didn't just start dancing with knives out of nowhere.

Predator’s paradise

HBO’s 2020 documentary "Showbiz Kids" presented firsthand accounts of former child stars who described the emotional, physical, and sexual exploitation they endured. Todd Bridges, famous for his role on "Diff’rent Strokes," recounted his own experience of being molested as a child actor. Similarly, Evan Rachel Wood openly discussed how children in Hollywood are routinely subjected to various forms of abuse, including sexual exploitation.

More recently, the docuseries "Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV" exposed the toxic, destructive culture that child actors faced while working on Nickelodeon shows. Drake Bell, former star of Nickelodeon's "The Amanda Show" and "Drake and Josh," disclosed that dialogue coach Brian Peck had sexually assaulted him. In 2003, Peck was sentenced to 16 months in prison and required to register as a sex offender. Bell, whose identity was kept confidential at the time, described Nickelodeon as a “factory” that treated child actors as “expendable.”

Corey Feldman, perhaps one of the most tragic figures to emerge from the 1980s child star circuit, has been vocal for years about the pervasive problem of pedophilia in Hollywood. Feldman, who was sexually abused as a boy, told the Guardian in 2020 that "the biggest problem in Hollywood is pedophilia.” He emphasized how children, lured by the promise of fame and fortune, often find themselves caught in a web of coercion by powerful figures who go unpunished for years. For young men, it can be especially difficult to discuss abuse, particularly when the majority of the perpetrators are other men (a fact that Megyn Kelly, to her credit, acknowledged).

Watching Feldman perform with his rock band today might prompt some to snicker, but what you are witnessing is the struggle of a grown man whose innocence was stolen at an early age. This is tragedy playing out, not comedy.

Empathy, not enmity

This brings us back to Justin Bieber, whose body is now a canvas for over 70 tattoos. Many studies have shown a significant link between trauma and an obsession with tattooing, suggesting that individuals may turn to body art as a form of coping or expression. His well-documented struggles with addiction and various mental health issues reveal a painful journey marked by existential obstacles. It wasn’t until the singer found solace in faith, embraced the power of prayer, and married Hailey Baldwin, daughter of Baldwin family oddball Stephen, that he began to heal.

The question we should be asking isn’t why Bieber has remained silent on certain issues but whether he’s okay. As he stated in "Lonely," a song released a few years ago:

“And everybody saw me sick / And it felt like no one gave a s**t / They criticized the things I did as an idiot kid.”

“What if you had it all / And it felt like nobody to call? Maybe then you'd know me / 'Cause I've had everything / But no one's listening / And that's just lonely. I'm so lonely. Lonely.”

Even if Diddy didn’t molest him, Bieber is a survivor. He deserves grace. His life has been a roller coaster — full of exploitation, despair, and drug abuse, but also fortitude, faith, and redemption. The industry failed to offer him protection. And yet somehow, despite everything, Justin Bieber is still standing.

Sean 'Diddy' Combs charged with racketeering; sex trafficking; controlled drug-fueled, days-long 'freak off' sex acts: Feds



Hip-hop mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs was arrested Monday in New York City. The indictment was unsealed Tuesday morning, and it outlined three federal charges against the rap star.

The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York presented charges against Combs for racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and interstate transportation for prostitution.

'The freak offs sometimes lasted days at a time, involved multiple commercial sex workers, and often involved a variety of narcotics — such as ketamine, ecstasy, and GHB [gamma hydroxybutyrate] — which Combs distributed to the victims to keep them obedient and compliant.'

According to the indictment, “Members and associates of the Combs Enterprise engaged in, and attempted to engage in, among other activities, sex trafficking, forced labor, interstate transportation for purposes of prostitution, coercion and enticement to engage in prostitution, narcotics offenses, kidnapping, arson, bribery, and obstruction of justice.”

U.S. Attorney Damian Williams told reporters during a Tuesday press conference, "A year ago, Sean Combs stood in Times Square and was handed a key to New York City. Today, he's been indicted and will face justice in the Southern District of New York."

Federal prosecutors are seeking to detain Combs ahead of trial.

"So we will be seeking detention," Williams said. "There is a presumption of detention in a case like this, and we think that's warranted."

Williams was asked if Combs could be in danger while behind bars — a reference to the death of Jeffrey Epstein in jail.

"We are concerned with anyone's safety whenever they are detained prior to trial, it's part of our obligation," Williams responded. "But I do not draw any sort of connection between Jeffrey Epstein's suicide and what may or may not happen to any other defendant while they are detained pretrial. Our position is that pretrial detention is warranted [for Combs] under the law and based on the facts of this case."

Williams declared that the investigation was not done and refused to take future charges off the table.

"This investigation is ongoing, and I encourage anyone with information about this case to come forward and to do it quickly," he stated.

Williams added, “Between at least 2008 and the present, Combs abused, threatened, and coerced victims to fulfill his sexual desires, protect his reputation, and conceal his conduct.”

He continued, “Sean Combs led and participated in a racketeering conspiracy that used the business empire he controlled to carry out criminal activity, including sex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, arson, bribery, and the obstruction of justice.”

According to prosecutors, Combs “engaged in a persistent and pervasive pattern” of physical, verbal, emotional, and sexual abuse “toward women and other individuals.”

The complaint also alleges that on numerous occasions, Combs “assaulted women by, among other things, striking, punching, dragging, throwing objects at, and kicking them.”

The indictment claims Combs used his businesses and employees “to carry out, facilitate, and cover up his abuse and commercial sex.” According to the complaint, the businesses included Bad Boy Entertainment, Combs Enterprises, and Combs Global.

He 'subjected victims [to] physical, emotional, and verbal abuse so that they would participate in the freak offs.'

Prosecutors alleged Combs was able to garner “absolute loyalty” from business members through “acts of violence and threats.” The Combs Enterprise reportedly avoided detection for illegal activities through “acts of intimidation, manipulation, bribery, and threats of retaliation against individuals who witnessed the crimes committed by members and associates of the enterprise.”

The alleged physical abuse victims purportedly were inflicted with injuries that would take “days or weeks to heal."

The indictment describes sex acts known as “freak offs,” for which Combs allegedly organized the transportation of sex workers across state lines and internationally — and often recorded them.

Williams told reporters, "The freak offs sometimes lasted days at a time, involved multiple commercial sex workers, and often involved a variety of narcotics — such as ketamine, ecstasy, and GHB [gamma hydroxybutyrate] — which Combs distributed to the victims to keep them obedient and compliant.”

The sex acts also involved IV fluids and lighting, according to the three-count indictment.

During these sex performances, Combs is alleged to have “subjected victims to physical, emotional, and verbal abuse.” The victims were reportedly threatened with a loss of income or livelihood if they declined to participate in the sex parties.

Williams claimed Diddy would become “violent” when he “didn’t get his way," adding that he "subjected victims [to] physical, emotional, and verbal abuse so that they would participate in the freak offs."

Williams also noted evidence of the freak offs — "electronic devices that contain images and videos of the freak offs with multiple victims" — seized from raids on Combs’ properties in Miami and Los Angeles in March.

Federal prosecutors said more than 1,000 bottles of baby oil and other lubricants were seized from Combs' homes that were used in these sex performances.

Law enforcement also seized three AR-15 rifles, ammunition, and a large-capacity drum magazine. The serial numbers on the AR-15s had been defaced, according to prosecutors.

Following Combs' arrest Monday, his attorney — Marc Agnifilo — described the entertainment mogul as “an innocent man with nothing to hide.”

“To his credit, Mr. Combs has been nothing but cooperative with this investigation, and he voluntarily relocated to New York last week in anticipation of these charges,” Agnifilo said.

However, Williams disagreed and stated: “Generally, and with increasing frequency, the word cooperative or cooperating has taken on tremendous elasticity, and it no longer really bears any relation to what the word means when we use it in a very specific context. Responding to lawful process and the like does not qualify as cooperation when we use that term here.”

If convicted on all charges, Combs faces up to life in prison.

In May, disturbing footage surfaced of Diddy brutally assaulting his former girlfriend Casandra Ventura at a California hotel in 2016. The Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office said the rapper would not be prosecuted.
