According to the 15-page document, prosecutors allege that Combs physically assaulted women on multiple occasions, including striking, punching, dragging, throwing objects at and kicking them.
The allegations extend beyond women. Prosecutors claim Combs also mistreated his employees, forcing some to work long hours with little sleep. They say he used physical force, psychological harm, financial harm and reputational harm to maintain control.
One employee was allegedly forced to engage in sex acts with him.
Combs’ attorney responds
Marc Agnifilo, Combs’ attorney, responded to the latest allegations in a statement to NBC News.
“[Combs’ employees] stand by his side, prepared to attest to the dedication, hard work, and inspiration they experienced while helping build groundbreaking, award-winning businesses,” Agnifilo said.
Agnifilo’s team has not responded to Straight Arrow News’ request for further comment.
