The indictment accuses Combs of orchestrating a widespread criminal conspiracy, operated through his various businesses with the aid of his employees and business associates.

Sean "Diddy" Combs is accused of holding regular "Freak Offs" as part of a racketeering conspiracy to abuse women, authorities say.

The alleged "freak offs" were also mentioned in a lawsuit filed in November 2023 by Diddy's ex, singer, Cassie, who claimed she was forced to participate in them. That lawsuit was the first in a wave of others filed in the past year, culminating with the indictment filed this week.
