Music mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs has been charged with three felony counts following his arrest in Manhattan late Monday.
A federal indictment that was unsealed Tuesday revealed Combs was charged with sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution.
The indictment accuses Combs of abusing women for decades and presiding over an empire of sexual crimes.
"For decades, [Combs] abused, threatened, and coerced women and others around him to fulfill his sexual desires, protect his reputation, and conceal his conduct," the indictment says.
"To do so, Combs relied on the employees, resources, and influence of the multi-faceted business empire that he led and controlled creating a criminal enterprise whose members and associates engaged in, and attempted to engage in, among other crimes, sex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, arson, bribery, and obstruction of justice," the indictment goes on to state.
Combs was in court in New York Tuesday morning to hear the charges brought against him.
The rapper’s attorney spoke out following his client’s arrest on Monday, calling him an “innocent man.”
“We are disappointed with the decision to pursue what we believe is an unjust prosecution of Mr. Combs by the U.S. Attorney’s Office. Sean “Diddy” Combs is a music icon, self-made entrepreneur, loving family man, and proven philanthropist who has spent the last 30 years building an empire, adoring his children, and working to uplift the Black community. He is an imperfect person, but he is not a criminal," Combs' attorney Marc Agnifilo said in a statement to Scripps News.
