The Government vs. Diddy: The Five-Count Indictment

The Government vs. Diddy: The Five-Count Indictment

Sean “Diddy” Combs is no longer just facing allegations — he’s facing five federal charges, with four accusers, and a mountain of legal trouble that keeps growing. The latest development? Federal prosecutors just hit him with two new charges, bringing the total to five, and they say the alleged trafficking didn't stop years ago — it was still happening last year.

In this new superseding indictment, filed by a federal grand jury in Manhattan, prosecutors allege that Combs used force, fraud, or coercion to compel a woman — referred to only as “Victim-2” — into commercial sex acts from 2021 through 2024. And it wasn’t isolated. Prosecutors say Combs also arranged for her and others, including commercial sex workers, to travel for prostitution over that same time period.

This builds on the original indictment from last September, which included charges of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking. According to the government, this wasn’t a man acting alone — this was an organized system. They say Combs used his money, power, and a circle of associates to coerce women into participating in drug-fueled sexual events he allegedly called “Freak Offs.” Think elite sex parties — but with allegedly non-consensual elements and, reportedly, drugs, threats, and cameras rolling.

Prosecutors also claim the racketeering conspiracy dates back two decades now, starting in 2004, not 2008 as previously stated. They're accusing Combs of trafficking three different victims — and coercing a fourth, one of his own employees — into sexual activity.

Out of the four women expected to testify, three are asking to remain anonymous at trial. The fourth, referred to as "Victim-1," is reportedly prepared to testify under her own name. That’s significant — it sends a message that at least one of these women is willing to stand in court and publicly accuse one of the most powerful figures in music of horrifying acts.

And there’s more — Combs' past actions are under scrutiny again. The indictment references that infamous 2016 hotel surveillance footage — the one where Combs is seen hitting and kicking Cassie, his then-girlfriend, in a Los Angeles hallway. Prosecutors allege that assault happened during one of these “Freak Offs.” Combs’ legal team? They’re spinning it as a moment from a “complex but consensual relationship.”

If it sounds like prosecutors are painting a pattern here, that’s because they are. From allegedly dangling a woman over a balcony, to blackmail, arson, and physical violence — they’re building a case that this wasn’t just misconduct, it was a systematic abuse of power stretching over decades. The January indictment alone mentioned that Combs once showed a gun during a kidnapping incident.

And yet, Combs is sticking to his not guilty plea. His team is actively trying to get at least one charge thrown out — specifically, the one about allegedly flying a male escort across state lines to participate in sex acts with him and his partners. His attorney, Alexandra A.E. Shapiro, says the entire case hinges on the idea that this kind of consensual sex work somehow qualifies as a federal crime — and that’s what they’re pushing back against.

As of now, Combs remains in custody at a federal jail in Brooklyn. His trial is scheduled to begin on May 5, with a final pretrial conference set for April 25, where he’s expected to be arraigned on the new charges.
