Federal prosecutors filed an enlarged indictment against Sean Diddy Combs on Thursday, accusing him of forcing two more women into commercial sex acts and dangling a person over an apartment balcony.
In September, Combs was charged with sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution in the Southern District of New York. Two additional victims are charged with transportation to engage in prostitution in the new indictment, but no new charges are added to his case.
The latest petition claims that Combs coerced victims, including but not limited to three female victims, into performing commercial sex acts by using force, threats of force, and compulsion.
According to the supplementary indictment, one of the additional allegations is that Combs hung a victim over the balcony of an apartment.
The timing and specifics of the alleged techniques by which Combs committed the offenses for which he is charged were also extended by the prosecution. According to the latest complaint, the alleged racketeering conspiracy began four years prior to 2008, as stated in the original indictment.
The indictment added violations of both California and New York law to the list of kidnapping accusations.
Psilocyn and methamphetamine are two additional chemicals that are added to Combs’ alleged drug-related racketeering conduct.
Regarding the new filing, a Southern District of New York spokeswoman chose not to comment.
One of Combs’ lawyers, Marc Agnifilo, stated in a statement: The prosecution’s theory is still incorrect. The absurd hypothesis that two of Mr. Combs’s ex-girlfriends were prostitutes rather than girlfriends has been introduced by the government. Mr. Combs is steadfast in his resolve to fight these accusations and prevail in court.
Combs has refuted every accusation made against him thus far, including the federal criminal case and over 30 civil lawsuits.
Since September, he has been held by the federal government at Brooklyn, New York’s Metropolitan Detention Center. The trial for Combs is set to start in May.
