Sean 'Diddy' Combs, the renowned music mogul and three-time Grammy winner, is facing severe legal troubles as he has been indicted on federal charges of sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, and transportation to engage in prostitution by force. The charges stem from allegations involving 'freak-off' parties, where drugs, coerced sex, and abuse were reportedly prevalent. Federal raids on his properties uncovered AR-15s, drugs, and large quantities of lube. Activists and survivors are hopeful that this high-profile case will bring about significant changes in the music industry, which has largely avoided accountability in the wake of the #MeToo movement. Combs is also facing multiple civil lawsuits related to sexual assault. Legal experts predict that the stress of the charges may lead Combs to testify against others involved. Combs is currently behind bars in New York City, awaiting his trial. The incidents reportedly took place in hotel rooms and date back to the early 2000s.
