Diddy Indicted Again as More Alleged Victims Emerge in Sex Trafficking Case

Federal prosecutors are attempting to strengthen their case against Sean “Diddy” Combs.

According to Deadline, a superseding indictment was issued in Manhattan federal court on Thursday, more than four months after the disgraced music mogul was arrested on racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking charges. The updated indictment did not include additional criminal counts but added two more female victims.

The revised indictment alleged Diddy had “used force, threats of force, and coercion to cause the three women — identified as “Victim-1,” “Victim-2,” and “Victim-3” — to engage in commercial sex acts. (Victim-1 was previously identified as Cassie Ventura, Diddy’s ex-girlfriend who accused him of abuse in a since-settled lawsuit.)

Prosecutors also added psilocin and methamphetamine to the list of drugs Diddy and others allegedly possessed “with the intent to distribute,” and provided new details about Diddy’s alleged violent behavior, particularly toward employees or witnesses who threatened his “authority or reputation."

“On multiple occasions, Combs threw both objects and people, as well as hit, dragged, choked and shoved others,” the indictment reads. “On one occasion, Combs dangled a victim over an apartment balcony.”

The amended filing expanded the length of Diddy’s alleged criminal conduct from 2008 to 2004; but, as Diddy’s attorney points out, it mostly resembles the prosecutors’ original indictment.

“The latest Indictment contains no new offenses,” Diddy’s attorney Marc Agnifilo told Complex. “The prosecution’s theory remains flawed. The government has added the ridiculous theory that two of Mr. Combs’ former girlfriends were not girlfriends at all but were prostitutes. Mr. Combs is as committed as ever to fighting these charges and winning at trial.”

Diddy has remained behind bars since his September 16, 2024 arrest on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, and transportation to engage in prostitution. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges.

Multiple judges have denied Diddy’s request for release on bond, citing concerns over witness tampering and community safety. If found guilty of all charges, Diddy faces 15 years to life in prison. His trial is expected to begin on May 5.
