Commissar SFLUFAN Posted Tuesday at 02:35 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 02:35 AM Sean Combs Arrested in Manhattan After Grand Jury Indictment - The New York Times WWW.NYTIMES.COM The music mogul has been under mounting scrutiny since a 2023 lawsuit by his former girlfriend, Cassie, accused him of sex trafficking and years of abuse. Quote Sean Combs, the music mogul whose career has been upended by sexual assault lawsuits and a federal investigation, was arrested in Manhattan on Monday evening, after a grand jury indicted him, according to a person familiar with the indictment who was not authorized to speak publicly. The indictment is sealed and the charges were not announced but the person familiar with the prosecution said they believed Mr. Combs was being charged with racketeering and sex trafficking. A statement from Mr. Combs's legal team said they were disappointed with the decision to prosecute him and noted that he had been cooperative with the investigation and had "voluntarily relocated to New York last week in anticipation of these charges." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted Tuesday at 02:46 PM Author Share Posted Tuesday at 02:46 PM The indictment has been unsealed and confirms the arrest is for sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution. Quote The charges against Combs allege he "threatened and coerced women and others around him to fulfill his sexual desires" for years, federal prosecutors said. Combs created "a criminal enterprise whose members and associates engaged in" various crimes, such as "sex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, arson, bribery and obstruction of justice," court documents said. Quote Federal prosecutors accused Combs of forcing victims into sex acts that he allegedly called "freak offs," acts which he recorded for his viewing pleasure. Combs "used force" to "cause victims to engage in extended sex acts with male commercial sex workers that Combs arranged, directed, masturbated during and often electronically recorded," court documents charged. The defendant called these acts his "freak offs," prosecutors said. Quote Sex abuse allegedly directed by Combs was fueled by drugs and often went days at a time, prosecutors said. Victims were filled with drugs to control them for long stretches of time, authorities said, with participants “typically” having to get “IV fluids to recover from the physical exertion.” And once victims were lured into this orbit, they were coerced to keep following the suspect's orders, prosecutors said. Combs used "the sensitive, embarrassing and incriminating recordings that he made during Freak Offs as collateral to ensure the continued obedience and silence of the victims," according to court documents. Quote The U.S. government is seeking to recover significant financial assets from the famed music mogul through this prosecution, court documents revealed. Combs could be on the hook for "any and all property, real and personal" and an undetermined "sum of money" involved in these alleged crimes, according to the indictment. The court document did not specifically list any assets or amount of money it would be seeking to take from Combs. Quote At the height of his power, Combs was more than just a musician: He controlled a vast business empire — including record labels and alcohol and clothing brands — that made him a billionaire. Now, prosecutors are alleging that Combs' commercial enterprise was a key component of his criminal enterprise. The mogul used his businesses and several of his employees "to carry out, facilitate, and cover up his abuse and commercial sex," according to the indictment unsealed this morning. "Those employees — including security staff, household staff, personal assistants, and high-ranking supervisors — and other close associates acted as COMBS’ intermediaries, and their conduct was facilitated and assisted by COMBS’ control of the Combs Business," prosecutors added.

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted Tuesday at 03:21 PM Author Share Posted Tuesday at 03:21 PM Quote Federal agents raided Combs' homes in Miami and Los Angeles in March and came away with supplies allegedly used in sexual assaults, court documents showed. At the time of the raids, federal officials would only say they “executed law enforcement actions” in New York as part of an ongoing investigation, along with teams in Los Angeles and Miami. In court papers made public today, government officials revealed that they took supplies Combs allegedly used in "Freak Off" sexual assaults. Agents "seized various Freak Off supplies, including narcotics and more than 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant." Quote The three-count indictment against Combs include alleged criminal acts going back 16 years, court documents said. The racketeering count covers acts allegedly committed by the defendant starting in 2008, while sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution started in 2009, court papers showed.

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted Tuesday at 03:56 PM Author Share Posted Tuesday at 03:56 PM The DoJ says that it will seek pre-trial detention as it considers him to be a flight risk as well as the nature of the charges. Quote The U.S. government doesn't want Combs released on bail, saying there's a "presumption of detention" in this case. "So we will be seeking detention," U.S. Attorney Damian Williams told reporters. "There is a presumption of detention in a case like this, and we think that's warranted." Quote U.S. Attorney Damian Williams rejected any hints that Combs could be in danger while behind bars while responding to a question about Jeffrey Epstein's suicide in jail. "We are concerned with anyone's safety whenever they are detained prior to trial, it's part of our obligation," Williams said. "But I do not draw any sort of connection between Jeffrey Epstein's suicide and what may or may not happen to any other defendant while they are detained pretrial. Our position is that pretrial detention is warranted (for Combs) under the law and based on the facts of this case." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted Tuesday at 05:13 PM Author Share Posted Tuesday at 05:13 PM Quote Sean Combs offered to post a $50 million bond so he could be released from custody, pending his trial on three federal counts which accuse him of sex crimes that go back more than a decade. He's also offered to wear a GPS monitor while limiting travel to New York City and Miami, where he'd only be attending court and seeing his doctors and lawyers, according to a proposed bail package filed by his defense team. A plane owned by Combs is in Los Angeles and he's in the process of selling it, his lawyers said. Federal prosecutors are asking a judge to deny bail for Combs, insisting that the defendant is a flight risk and danger to the community.
