Sean “Diddy” Combs’ recent arrest stems from a federal indictment accusing him of sex trafficking and racketeering.

The indictment alleges that Combs hosted “coerced” sexual performances, known as “Freak Offs,” and describes him as the “head of a criminal enterprise” engaging in various crimes.

Key Allegations:

– Cassie Ventura’s Lawsuit: In November 2023, Cassie Ventura filed a lawsuit against Combs, accusing him of years of physical and mental abuse, including an alleged instance of rape in 2018. The lawsuit claimed Combs broke into her house and forced himself on her sexually.

– Settlement and Additional Lawsuits: Combs and Ventura settled the lawsuit a day after it was filed, with terms kept under wraps. However, Combs faced additional lawsuits alleging sexual assault, including one from Joi Dickerson-Neal, who claimed Combs drugged and assaulted her in 1991.

– Indictment Details: The federal indictment mirrors some allegations from Ventura’s lawsuit, including claims of coercive behavior and abuse. Combs has denied all allegations, calling them “sickening” and vowing to fight for his name and reputation.

Current Status:

– Combs was arrested on September 16, 2024, and has been denied bail twice due to concerns about potential witness tampering and flight risk.

– He faces a minimum of 15 years in prison, with the possibility of a life sentence if convicted on all charges ¹.
