00:00
The federal indictment of Sean Diddy Combs has been unsealed.
00:04
His charges, sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution.
00:10
Combs allegedly planned and controlled the sex performances, which he called freak-offs.
00:17
And he often electronically recorded them.
00:19
In addition to the violence, the indictment alleges that Combs threatened and coerced victims
00:24
to get them to participate in the freak-offs.
00:28
He used the embarrassing and sensitive recordings he made of the freak-offs as collateral against the victims.
00:36
The indictment also alleges the 54-year-old maintained control over his victims in several ways,
00:41
including by giving them drugs, giving and threatening to take away financial support or housing,
00:47
promising career opportunities, monitoring their whereabouts and even dictating physical appearance.
00:53
Tuesday's charges follow raids on his homes in L.A. and Miami in March.
00:58
The first suit was filed in November last year by singer Cassandra Ventura, known as Cassie,
01:03
who accused him of abuse, violence and rape during their decade-long relationship.
01:08
The case was settled in court a day later, but not before it opened a floodgate of other lawsuits,
01:13
with allegations dating back to the early 90s.
01:16
One filed by a woman in December alleges that he and others gang-raped her when she was only 17 years old.
01:22
Once one of the most influential figures in hip-hop, Combs, who's also known as P. Diddy,
01:28
is credited with making a star out of some of the biggest names in the genre,
01:32
including Notorious B.I.G., Mary J. Blige and Usher.
