TMZ is reporting that, according to the indictment, from 2008 to present, “members of the Combs enterprise allegedly engaged in sex trafficking, forced labor, interstate transportation for purposes of prostitution, coercion and enticement to engage in prostitution, narcotics offenses, kidnapping, arson, bribery and obstruction of justice.”
While the indictment today shares that the reported purpose of his enterprise was to be a powerhouse of global business in the entertainment sphere, it also allegedly worked at “preserving Diddy‘s power and fulling his personal desires, especially relation to his sexual gratification, including through the exploitation of women and the use of commercial sex workers.”
The indictment also spoke about sexual parties that he was allegedly involved with, sharing that they reportedly included “elaborate and produced sex performances that Combs arranged, directed, masturbated during, and often electronically recorded.”
He is said to be appearing in court today to hear the charges read.
