According to the Associated Press, Sean “Diddy” Combs is accused of overseeing a criminal enterprise involving sexual crimes, coercion, and abuse of women, as outlined in an indictment unsealed Tuesday.

The indictment alleges Combs, 54, engaged in a persistent pattern of violence, sex trafficking, and forced labor, while using his power to conceal these acts. Combs is also accused of orchestrating elaborate sex performances called “Freak Offs” and manipulating victims through violence, threats, and drugs.
