When federal agents raided Sean “Diddy” Combs’ mansions in Miami and Los Angeles, they found weapons, drugs and evidence of the “freak offs” that the music impresario is believed to have hosted, according to a federal indictment.
The indictment, which was unsealed on Tuesday, accuses Diddy, 54, of running a “racketeering conspiracy” by having “engaged in a persistent and pervasive pattern of abuse toward women and other individuals.” The embattled music mogul is charged with sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution.
Women and sex workers recruited by Diddy and his staff were forced to participate in “freak offs,” essentially sexual performances that Diddy directed and often recorded, the indictment states. Diddy’s employees would arrange his access to women and sex workers, often across state lines, and provided controlled substances to keep the women “obedient and compliant.”
When federal agents searched the Bad Boy Records founder’s enclaves in Los Angeles and at 2 Star Island Drive in Miami Beach, they uncovered “freak off” supplies — including narcotics like ketamine and ecstasy and more than 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant. Agents also found three AR-15s with scratched-off serial numbers as well as a drum magazine.
Diddy and his employees, according to the indictment, would track down victim and confront them with recordings of the “freak offs” to pressure them into silence.
