Sean “Diddy” Combs is facing new allegations involving the trafficking of two additional women, according to an indictment filed on Thursday.
Prosecutors have accused the rapper of leading a criminal group involved in sex trafficking, now including three women, two more than previous charges indicated.
The new indictment also highlights violent incidents allegedly committed by Combs, including claims that he threw objects and people, as well as physically assaulted others. One incident allegedly involved him dangling a victim over an apartment balcony.
The indictment further accuses Combs of operating a criminal network called “Combs Enterprise,” with members also accused of sex trafficking, traveling across state lines for prostitution, arson, bribery, and obstruction of justice.
In response, Combs’ legal team denied the new allegations, with his lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, arguing that the latest indictment brings no new charges. Agnifilo called the prosecution’s theory flawed, specifically challenging the claim that two of Combs’ former girlfriends were actually prostitutes.
Combs is currently in custody at a federal facility in Brooklyn, awaiting trial on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, and transporting individuals for prostitution. The trial is scheduled for May 5.
