Sean “Diddy” Combs forced women to engage in sick “freak off” sex sessions with male prostitutes, which were often recorded while the music producer masturbated, according to a sensational indictment filed Tuesday.
The 48-year-old music mogul, who has been charged with federal sex trafficking and organized crime, is accused of luring his female victims into the day-long sexual performances, part of an alleged pattern of abuse stretching back more than a decade, federal prosecutors in Manhattan said.
“Freak Offs were elaborate and staged sex performances that Combs arranged, directed, masturbated during, and often electronically recorded,” the recently unsealed court documents state.
Combs is said to have captivated the women – often under the pretense of a romantic relationship – and then administered drugs to them in order to “keep the victims obedient and compliant,” the indictment states.
The “regular” freak-offs could last several days and Combs and the victims were often given infusions afterwards “to recover from the physical exertion and drug use,” authorities claim.
His employees allegedly helped carry out the “freak offs” by arranging travel, booking hotel rooms in the locations where the actions took place, and stocking the rooms with supplies, including medicine, baby oil, lubricants, and extra bedding.
Combs’ security guards also carried guns, and when federal authorities searched his homes in Miami and Los Angeles, they found three AR-15s with “obliterated serial numbers,” other weapons, ammunition and a drum magazine, the indictment says.
Combs also often kept videos of the “sensitive, embarrassing and distressing” sessions – sometimes without the knowledge of his victims – so that he could use them “as collateral to ensure the victims’ continued obedience and silence,” the indictment says.
During a raid on Combs’ mansions in Miami and Los Angeles earlier this year, federal authorities reportedly seized some of the so-called “freak-off” supplies.
The charges against Combs were filed after he was arrested late Monday at the Park Hyatt New York in Manhattan – about six months after federal authorities raided his properties.
This is what we know about the allegations against Sean “Diddy” Combs
He was charged with three federal charges: conspiracy to commit organized crime, sex trafficking, and transportation for the purpose of prostitution.
Combs’ arrest comes after he faced a barrage of lawsuits last year from people accusing him of physically or sexually abusing them at the height of his fame as a producer in the 1990s and 2000s.
He was first accused of suing his former girlfriend, R&B singer Cassie Ventura, last November in a federal court lawsuit that has targeted him for years and that alleges domestic and sexual violence — and even human trafficking. Combs is scheduled to go to trial later Tuesday.
Combs was arrested Monday by the Department of Homeland Security in New York City as part of a federal sex trafficking investigation.
