00:00
Federal prosecutors say hip-hop mogul Sean Diddy Combs used his power and business empire
00:05
to carry out a long and shocking list of crimes for years.
00:09
Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're looking over the most shocking and sordid details to
00:13
come out of the arrest of Sean Diddy Combs following a grand jury indictment.
00:17
The indictment alleges that Combs abused and exploited women and other people for years,
00:22
and in a variety of ways.
00:24
Warning, the following information contains distressing details.
00:28
The charges.
00:30
Entertainment mogul Sean Diddy Combs waking up in a jail in Manhattan.
00:33
On September 16, 2024, music mogul Sean Diddy Combs was arrested in New York City
00:39
and charged with racketeering, trafficking by force, fraud or coercion,
00:43
and transportation to engage in relations for money.
00:47
Prosecutors in the case further allege that Combs orchestrated a, quote,
00:51
criminal enterprise, directing its members to commit several abhorrent criminal acts
00:55
that included forced labor, kidnapping, arson and bribery.
00:59
Within the 14 pages, it describes, you know, mob-like behavior.
01:05
These cases are generally brought against mobs.
01:08
So they are describing a criminal enterprise.
01:11
Diddy has denied all allegations, while his legal team vowed to contest the charges.
01:16
Combs' defense lawyer Mark Agnifilo even said his client is nothing like disgraced singer R. Kelly
01:22
or accused trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, stating, quote, this is different.
01:27
His attorney saying he doesn't believe Combs will take a plea deal.
01:30
I do not see it happening.
01:32
He he he's he's innocent and he is going to go to trial and I believe he's going to win.
01:37
Following his arrest, the Manhattan judge overseeing
01:39
the case ordered Combs to be held without bail.
01:42
This as prosecutors successfully argued that he was at a high risk of fleeing the country.
01:47
Look, he has limitless funds.
01:48
He can hop on his plane.
01:49
He can go anywhere in the world.
01:51
The defense says, look, he gave up his passport.
01:53
He came to New York willingly.
01:54
If found guilty, Diddy faces life in prison.
01:58
Freak-offs.
01:59
They also uncovered videos of elaborately produced sex performances
02:03
with multiple victims that Combs allegedly referred to as freak-offs.
02:07
At the center of the charges levied against Sean Diddy Combs are so-called freak-off
02:11
performance parties.
02:13
Combs is accused of coercing several women into participating in orchestrated
02:17
erotic activities that he refers to as freak-offs.
02:21
Prosecutors describe these X-rated events as,
02:23
quote,
02:24
elaborate and produced performances featuring adult workers,
02:27
which Combs allegedly organized, directed, and recorded for his own gratification.
02:32
While he watches or participates or whatever.
02:35
It further claims that some of the victims were unaware they were being filmed,
02:38
only to have the videos used as blackmail.
02:41
He used the embarrassing and sensitive recordings
02:44
he made of the freak-offs as collateral against the victims.
02:48
According to the indictment,
02:50
Diddy and his associates would lure individuals by pretending to seek romantic relationships,
02:54
only to later use,
02:56
quote,
02:56
force and threats to procure their involvement.
02:59
It's also alleged that he used illegal substances and money to further control victims.
03:04
Prosecutors claim that these sessions could last for several days
03:08
and that IV fluids were sometimes administered afterward
03:11
to help Combs and the others recover from the physical strain.
03:14
In one 2012 incident at a Manhattan hotel,
03:18
Diddy allegedly paid over $46,000 to cover damages
03:22
caused during one of these purported freak-offs.
03:24
HISTORY OF VIOLENCE
03:26
According to Damian Williams,
03:28
the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York,
03:31
Sean Combs became violent when women refused to participate
03:34
in the freak-offs or other orchestrated events.
03:37
Williams claims Combs would get physical with these women,
03:40
even grabbing at their hair to create agony.
03:43
Combs hit, kicked, threw objects at and dragged victims at times by their hair.
03:48
It's claimed that the injuries sustained were so bad
03:51
that they often took days or weeks to heal.
03:54
Prosecutors stated that Combs' appalling treatment of women
03:57
extends far beyond the current charges,
03:59
with five women publicly accusing him of violent acts dating back to the 90s.
04:03
We're going to begin tonight with the alarming images now emerging of Sean Diddy Combs.
04:07
The new video obtained exclusively by CNN.
04:10
Williams also recounted to the court that the rapper once bribed a hotel worker with a,
04:15
quote,
04:15
stack of cash after being caught on camera assaulting a woman.
04:19
Much of the alleged incidents are said to have occurred in private settings,
04:22
such as Combs' personal residences.
04:25
This was part of the prosecutor's argument that strict measures like home incarceration
04:29
would not prevent this type of behavior from Diddy.
04:32
The judge agreed, denying his bail.
04:34
This arrest seems long overdue.
04:36
It's a big, moving day for victims, but an arrest is only the beginning.
04:40
Items found by officials.
04:42
In March 2024, authorities conducted raids on Sean Diddy Combs' properties,
04:48
including those in Los Angeles and Miami.
04:50
They're looking for videos, photos, any mementos that he may have been keeping
04:57
that would corroborate what accusers have said.
05:01
The Department of Homeland Security stated at the time that these actions
05:04
were part of an ongoing investigation spanning several cities.
05:08
One of the properties searched was Combs' 17,000 square foot Beverly Hills mansion,
05:13
where he had announced his latest album release just months prior.
05:16
Love records.
05:18
We're here.
05:19
We're stronger together.
05:21
Yeah.
05:22
We now know that during the raids,
05:25
investigators found video footage of the so-called freak-offs on mobile phones.
05:29
Curiously, over 1,000 bottles of lubricant were also discovered.
05:34
Additionally, stashes of firearms and ammunition
05:37
with defaced serial numbers were said to have been recovered from the homes.
05:40
They seized firearms and ammunition, including three defaced AR-15s
05:46
and a large-capacity drum magazine.
05:48
Arson incident.
05:49
Forced labor, kidnapping, arson, bribery, and the obstruction of justice.
05:55
Prosecutors claim that Combs once bragged about using a Molotov cocktail
05:59
to torch a victim's car.
06:01
As part of a detention memo accompanying the charges against Diddy,
06:04
it was revealed that the hip-hop businessman and his associates
06:07
allegedly committed arson as an act of retaliation by setting fire to a convertible.
06:12
This reportedly occurred just weeks after a brazen kidnapping in December 2011.
06:17
Diddy and his group had allegedly taken a victim with them
06:20
as they tried to break into another individual's home.
06:23
Two weeks later, they set their convertible on fire
06:26
by cutting open the roof and throwing a Molotov cocktail inside.
06:30
It's said that at the time,
06:31
police and fire officials confirmed the fire was intentionally set.
06:36
In therapy.
06:37
Diddy's lawyer is speaking out amid the mogul's arrest.
06:41
Amid facing a slew of serious crimes,
06:44
Sean Diddy Combs' attorney revealed that the rapper and music exec is currently in therapy.
06:49
Combs' attorney, Mark Agnifilo, made the revelation during the mogul's arraignment hearing.
06:54
He stated that Diddy is undergoing, quote,
06:56
treatment and therapy for things that most respectfully he needs treatment and therapy for,
07:01
and he's getting that.
07:02
It was not specified what exactly Diddy is getting help for, however.
07:06
Agnifilo also added that his client has faced many struggles in his life,
07:10
including substance use disorder and toxic relationships,
07:13
which he noted were mutually harmful.
07:15
Combs acknowledged his assault of Cassie in a message
07:18
posted on Instagram days after the video surfaced.
07:27
He also emphasized that seeking help at 54 years of age is commendable and should be applauded.

07:49
Accomplices
07:50
The district attorney has made it clear that Combs was not alone in these criminal acts.
07:55
The federal government is saying that this is a criminal enterprise,
07:58
that this isn't just a crime perpetuated by one individual,
08:01
but that a whole organization needed to work around this,
08:04
not only in creating these freak-offs and these parties and these filming,
08:08
but also to hide it.
08:10
It's purported that the music magnate used his business
08:12
and vast array of employees to, quote, get his way.
08:16
Those individuals are said to include various staff,
08:19
like security guards and even household aides.
08:22
High-ranking supervisors and personal assistants
08:24
are also alleged to have helped facilitate the shocking crimes.
08:27
He did not act alone.
08:28
So there were enablers from his employees, his co-workers,
08:32
his assistants to other people in law enforcement
08:35
that have aided and abetted him in carrying out these crimes.
08:39
This was apparently done through directions regarding financial payments to victims,
08:43
promises to advance and or suppress their career opportunities,
08:47
and acquiring controlled substances.
08:49
Many were said to witness the alleged violence,
08:52
but did nothing to intervene,
08:54
rather concealing the acts and assisting Diddy in covering them up.
08:58
The indictment also says Combs' associates would locate
09:01
and contact victims who attempted to flee his abuse,
09:04
all on his behalf.
09:05
What do you make of the latest shocking accusations
09:08
against Sean Diddy Combs and his associates?
09:10
Let us know in the comments below.
09:13
And I think that one of the strongest parts of this case
09:15
is going to be that there isn't just one witness.
09:18
This isn't just about Cassie.
09:20
There are going to be multiple witnesses who are going to be testifying.
09:23
The defense is trying to portray this as,
09:24
oh, there's going to be one witness.
09:25
No, no, no.
09:26
There are going to be a lot of witnesses who are going to come forward.
