Prosecutors update indictment against Sean 'Diddy' Combs with new allegations of sex trafficking

wcvb.com — February 2, 2025, 03:00 PM UTC

Prosecutors have updated their indictment against Sean 'Diddy' Combs, accusing him of sex trafficking at least three women and of dangling a victim off a hotel balcony. The new indictment was filed in Manhattan federal court. The indictment extends the alleged racketeering conspiracy from 2004 to 2024, four years longer than previously stated. Combs, 55, has pleaded not guilty and remains in custody without bail, with a trial set for May 5. Prosecutors allege Combs used his influence to intimidate and coerce women into sex acts, employing violence and threats. Defense lawyers argue the allegations mischaracterize consensual relationships and perpetuate stereotypes about female victimhood.
