Sean 'Diddy' Combs is charged with sex trafficking and racketeering, accused of decades of abuse involving women.
Sean 'Diddy' Combs has been charged with sex trafficking and racketeering, accused of using his fame to engage in decades of abuse and coercion.
Combs, 54, who was arrested by federal agents on Monday, also faces a charge of “transportation to engage in prostitution.” “On numerous occasions from at least in or about 2009 and continuing for years, Combs assaulted women by, among other things, striking, punching, dragging, throwing objects at, and kicking them,” it said.
Combs has no major convictions but has long been trailed by allegations of physical assault, dating back to the 1990s. The bombshell suit was settled out of court, but a string of similarly lurid sexual assault claims followed — including one in December by a woman who alleged Combs and others gang-raped her when she was 17.Born Sean John Combs on November 4, 1969, in Harlem, the artist entered the industry as an intern in 1990 at Uptown Records, where he eventually became a talent director.
