Prosecutors claim that while the Combs enterprise was intended to operate a global business in media, entertainment, and lifestyle sectors, it also sought to maintain Combs’ power and fulfill his personal desires, particularly through the exploitation of women and commercial sex workers.

One notable aspect of the indictment is the reference to “freak off” parties, which were described as elaborate sex performances arranged and directed by Combs. The indictment alleges that Combs participated in and recorded these activities.

The indictment further claims that Combs used deception to lure women into romantic relationships, only to coerce them into prolonged sex acts with male sex workers. After these encounters, both Combs and the victims were reportedly administered IV fluids to recover from the physical strain and drugs used during the parties, according to the court documents.

Combs has been in the news recently, with raids conducted at his homes in Beverly Hills and Miami. Court documents reveal that the raids uncovered narcotics, more than 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant, and firearms, including three AR-15s with defaced serial numbers and high-capacity magazines.

The indictment also includes allegations of violence against women, detailing incidents where Combs allegedly assaulted women by striking, punching, dragging, throwing objects, and kicking them. It refers to a video-recorded incident from March 2016 at a Los Angeles, California hotel, showing him assaulting his then-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura.

Prosecutors allege that in late 2023, following public accusations of these crimes, Combs and his associates attempted to pressure victims and witnesses into silence through bribery. If convicted on all charges, Combs faces decades in prison. His lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, has pledged to “fight like hell” for his client’s release on bail and maintains that Combs is not only not guilty but outright innocent.
