Prosecutors add two more victims to Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs federal indictment

Sean “Diddy” Combs is accused of dangling a person over an apartment balcony and of coercing two additional women into commercial sex acts in an expanded indictment federal prosecutors filed against him Thursday. 

Combs was indicted in the Southern District of New York in September on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution. The new indictment does not add charges to his case but adds two more victims to the charge of transportation to engage in prostitution.

According to the new filing, Combs “used force, threats of force, and coercion, to cause victims, including but not limited to three female victims” to engage in commercial sex acts.

Among the new items in the superseding indictment include an allegation that Combs “dangled a victim over an apartment balcony,” it said.

Prosecutors also expanded the timeline and details regarding the alleged methods in which Combs committed the crimes he’s charged with. While the first indictment said the period of alleged racketeering conspiracy dates back to 2008, the new filing said it dates back four years earlier.

The indictment expanded the kidnapping charges to include violations of both California and New York law.

It also adds two more substances — psilocyn and methamphetamine — in Combs’ alleged racketeering activity involving narcotics.

A spokesperson for the Southern District of New York declined to comment on the new filing. Representatives for Combs did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Combs has denied all the allegations against him to date, which include the federal criminal case and more than 30 civil lawsuits filed against him.

He’s been in federal custody since September at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York. Combs’ trial is scheduled to begin in May.
