Sean (Diddy) Combs was hit on Friday with an extended federal charged charges, accusing hip-hop Mogul with five criminal numbers, including reaction and sex trade. Combs, 55, previously declared that he was not guilty of a earlier indictment for three numbers.
The new indictment includes additional charges of sex trade and transportation to prostitution. The Combs trial remains scheduled for May 5 at the Manhattan Federal Court.
The prosecutors asked the US District Judge Arun Submanian in the submission of the court that in the new indictment in the new indictment.
Combs lawyers did not immediately respond to comment requests. Nicholas Biase, a spokesman for the US lawyer at Manhattan, refused to comment.
Prosecutors said Combs used their business empire for sexual abuse of women between 2004 and 2024.
Supposedly abuse included women participating in recorded sexual performances called “Freak-off” with male sex workers, who were sometimes transported over state lines.
The Combs legal team strongly denied that he had done anything wrong.
Marc Agnifilo, one of Combs’ lawyers, said that Combs never forced anyone to engage in sexual acts against their will and that the freak was an agreement sexual activity.
Combs has been closed in Brooklyn since September. He also faces dozens of civil lawsuits of women and men who accused him of sexual abuse.
New dots
The earlier indictment accused Combs of unique transport point in order to engage in prostitution with three alleged victims. This could make the jurors free from the number if they doubted Combs’ guilt for any of these victims.
Combs now faces a separate number of transportation to get involved in prostitution with respect to two women, and is called victims-1 and victim-2. The new indictment refers to the third woman, the victim-3, as the victim of Combs’s alleged conspiracy for recovery.
Also known during his career, as if Puff Daddy and P. Diddy, Combs founded Bad Boy Records and is responsible for help turning the rapper and R&B singer such as Mary J. Bliga, Faith Evans, Notorious Big and Usher in the stars in the 1990s and 2000s.
But prosecutors said his success was hiding the dark side, citing incidents, including March 2016, when Combs was captured in a supervisory video that hit, dragged and threw a vase on a woman trying to leave the hotel in Los Angeles.
Last year, CNN aired video surveillance showing Combs hitting and pulling his ex -girlfriend Casandra Ventura, R&B singer known as Cassie.
Combs apologized after broadcasting. Agnifilo said that video was not evidence of sex trade, and that Combs and Ventura had a “toxic, love 11-year-old relationship”.
