The new accusation of Sex Trafficking of Sean ‘Diddy’ combs lists two more victims

The prosecutors presented an extended accusation against Sean combs on Thursday in which they accused the magnate of the music of coercing two additional women in commercial sexual acts and hanging a woman on an apartment balcony.

Mr. combs, 55, has been carried out in a Brooklyn prison from the Initial accusation in September He accused him of sex trafficking and extortion conspiracy. He declared himself innocent and his lawyers have affirmed his innocence.

The new accusations are part of an accusation of replacement that was returned by a large jury, according to the documents presented in the Federal District Court in Manhattan.

The majority of the new accusation reflects the initially submitted, but accuses Mr. Combs to coercion two additional women in sexual acts, citing an anti-six-sex traffic law known as the Mann Lawwhich prohibits the transport of people by prostitution or criminal sexual activity. The Government accused Mr. combs to hire male prostitutes to participate in drugs fed with drugs known as monsters.

In a statement, a lawyer from Mr. Combs, Marc Agnifilo, said that the new accusation does not imply new charged crimes. The presentation includes new accusations of criminal behavior, but Mr. Combs continues to face three positions: conspiracy of extortion, sex trafficking and violation of the Mann Law.

“Prosecutor’s theory is still defective,” Agnifilo said. “The Government has added the ridiculous theory that two of Mr. combs’ ex -girlfriends were not girlfriends at all, but prostitutes. Mr. combs is as compromised as ever to fight these positions and win in the trial. “

The original accusation referred only to a “victim-1”, whose accusations were closely aligned with those of Casandra Ventura, the singer and ex-girlfriend of Mr. combs whose demand 2023That Mr. Combs established, caused criminal investigation. Now, the accusation refers to “victim-2” and “victim-3”, whose identities are not known publicly.

Prosecutors have accused Mr. combs to give drugs to the victims to keep them “obedient and satisfied” and register sexual encounters and keep the recordings, sometimes without the victims without the victims.

“In relation to commercial sexual acts, ComBs provided victims, among other things, monetary payments, career opportunities and the payment of rental and housing expenses,” says the accusation.

Mr. Comong’s lawyers have affirmed that all the sexual encounters referred to in the government were consensual, and in the case of Mrs. Ventura, part of a “love relationship, in toxic time and long term between two adults between two adults “

The newly presented accusation also extends the period of the alleged extortion conspiracy, which, according to prosecutors, involves a “criminal organization” responsible for crimes, including kidnapping and bribery, back to 2004, instead of 2008. According to Prosecutors, employees and associates of MR. The new accusation adds an accusation of kidnapping with headquarters in New York and states that during a kidnapping case, Mr. combs carried and showed a firearm.

As part of the alleged extortion conspiracy, prosecutors accused Mr. Combs from a series of drug crimes, including distribution, or the intention to distribute, cocaine, oxycodone and ketamine. The expanded accusation adds methamphetamine and psilocin, a hallucinogen.

The accusations of hanging a woman from a balcony align with claims in a Demand filed last year For a woman named Bryana Bongolan, who said he met Mr. Combs because she was a friend of Mrs. Ventura. Mrs. Bongolan’s demand says she was sleeping in Mrs. Ventura’s apartment in early 2016 when Mr. Combs began hitting the door and screaming. The demand says he entered the apartment, grabbed it and lifted it above the railing. She says in the court documents that she did not know what motivated him, and that he had noticed a “disturbing pattern of abusive behavior” towards Mrs. Ventura.

Mr. Combs’s legal team said in a statement in response to his lawsuit that “he firmly denies these serious accusations and remains sure that it will finally be demonstrated unfounded.” He is currently fighting more than three dozen demands Filed since Mrs. Ventura became public with her claims.

Prosecutors and defense lawyers have mentioned possible additional victims in judicial documents before. In a presentation, the prosecutors cited a text message sent by “victim-2” in which he said that Mr. combs “threatened me about my sexual tapes”, describing herself as “very drugged” in them and “doing things that asked me. “

Prosecutors said in judicial documents that they do not expect the new accusations to grant the judicial procedures. Mr. comb’s trial is Scheduled to start in May.
