Sean "Diddy" Combs, the music mogul embroiled in legal and civil troubles, has been indicted for puppeteering a "criminal enterprise" that fueled itself off of the coercion and the sexual and physical abuse of women for years, using silencing tactics to keep employees and victims compliant, an unsealed indictment revealed Tuesday.
Combs is being charged with three counts of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion, and transportation to engage in prostitution. The 14-page indictment accused Combs of using his businesses to commit kidnapping, arson, bribery and obstruction of justice. For Combs to commit these acts the Southern District of New York's prosecutors alleged that Combs used his employees and businesses.
