Prosecutors say the sexual encounters in hotel rooms were coercive and abusive and are the heart of their sex trafficking case. The music mogul’s lawyers call them consensual.

And in a press conference today, U.S. Attorney Damien Williams said that federal officers “seized evidence of the freak offs,” which included guns, over a thousand bottles of baby oil, and recordings of the incidents that show multiple victims.

The alleged "freak offs" were also mentioned in a lawsuit filed in November 2023 by Diddy's ex, singer, Cassie, who claimed she was forced to participate in them. That lawsuit was the first in a wave of others filed in the past year, culminating with the indictment filed this week.

The indictment accuses Combs of orchestrating a widespread criminal conspiracy, operated through his various businesses with the aid of his employees and business associates.

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs has been charged with three felony counts of racketeering, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution.

Sean "Diddy" Combs learned Wednesday he will be held without bail on charges including sex trafficking by force and transportation to engage in prostitution.
