Sean 'Diddy' Combs Indicted on Two New Federal Charges Ahead of Trial

Prosecutors allege Combs coerced Victim-2 into sex trafficking and transported individuals for prostitution between 2021 and 2024.

  • A third superseding indictment has added two charges against Sean 'Diddy' Combs, bringing the total to five federal counts, including racketeering and sex trafficking.
  • The new charges involve Victim-2, whom prosecutors allege was coerced into commercial sex acts and transported across state lines for prostitution over a three-year period.
  • Prosecutors claim Combs used his business empire to facilitate a 20-year criminal enterprise involving coercion, threats, and elaborate sexual events known as 'freak offs.'
  • Combs, who has pleaded not guilty to all charges, remains in federal custody in Brooklyn as his trial is set to begin on May 5, 2025.
  • Pre-trial hearings scheduled for April 25 will address victim protections and defense motions, including challenges to the new indictment.
