New Indictment Alleges Diddy Trafficked Women, Threatened One With Firearm

Federal prosecutors in New York have filed a third superseding indictment against music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs, intensifying the criminal case against him with additional charges and deeply disturbing allegations.

The latest filing adds one count of sex trafficking and one count of transportation to engage in prostitution, bringing the total number of federal charges against Combs to five. Prosecutors also revised the racketeering conspiracy charge to include new and more violent details.

According to the indictment, Combs is now accused of kidnapping a woman referred to as “Victim-2,” displaying a firearm to her, and allegedly dangling her over a balcony. The events are said to have occurred as part of what prosecutors describe as a years-long pattern of coercion, intimidation, and sexual exploitation.

“These are not new allegations or new accusers. These are the same individuals, former long-term girlfriends, who were involved in consensual relationships,” Combs' legal team said in response to the charges. “This was their private sex life, defined by consent, not coercion.”

Prosecutors say they hope to arraign Combs on the new charges at the final pretrial conference later this month. His trial is scheduled to begin May 5 in federal court.

The updated indictment marks the third such filing in Combs’ case since his arrest last year. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges and denies any criminal wrongdoing.

The case, which stems from broader federal sex trafficking and racketeering investigations, continues to gain national attention. The prosecution’s latest filing underscores its intent to show that Combs’ alleged actions were not isolated incidents but part of a calculated criminal enterprise.

With trial preparations underway and the government expanding its narrative, Combs — who built his career as a chart-topping producer, artist, and entrepreneur — now faces the possibility of significant additional prison time if convicted.
