According to a recent indictment filed on Thursday (1.30), prosecutors detailed a series of new allegations against Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, accusing the embattled musician of heading a criminal group and sex trafficking three women – two more than he was previously charged with.
Including an incident in which the rapper allegedly hung a person over a balcony, the document also outlined violent outbursts from Puffy towards his alleged victims
As stated in the indictment, “On multiple occasions, Combs threw both objects and people, as well as hit, dragged, choked and shoved others.” “On one occasion, Combs dangled a victim over an apartment balcony.”
In addition, prosecutors accused the artist/entrepreneur of leading a criminal organization referred to as “Combs Enterprise,” group members of which were also accused of sex trafficking, as well as traveling across state lines to engage in prostitution, arson, bribery and obstruction of justice.
Issuing a stern rebuttal to the new accusations, Sean’s lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, said in a statement:
“The latest Indictment contains no new offenses. The prosecution’s theory remains flawed.” “The government has added the ridiculous theory that two of Mr. Combs’ former girlfriends were not girlfriends at all, but were prostitutes.”
As he awaits trial, scheduled for May 5, Combs is currently detained at a federal corrections centre in Brooklyn, where he has pleaded not guilty to charges of sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy and transportation in prostitution.
