Sean 'Diddy' Combs, the renowned music mogul, faces a series of federal charges including sex trafficking by force, transportation to engage in prostitution, and racketeering conspiracy. The charges stem from alleged activities at 'freak-off' parties that Combs arranged in various hotels, which involved drugs, coerced sex, baby oil, and abuse. Prosecutors depict these events as horror shows, while Combs's lawyers argue that all activities were consensual. The case has sparked discussions about accountability in the music industry, with activists and survivors hopeful for change. Combs has been denied bail and remains in custody at the Brooklyn Metropolitan Detention Center, where he reportedly offered $50 million for bail. The allegations have led to multiple lawsuits, with at least seven civil suits accusing Combs of sexual assault. Resurfaced videos and reports reveal Combs joking about needing locks on doors at his 'White Parties' to prevent women from leaving.
