The allegations against Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs

The charges: A grand jury indicted Sean “Diddy” Combs on charges of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking, according to a federal document unsealed Tuesday. Combs has been ordered to remain in federal custody as he awaits trial. Here’s what we know about the charges that Diddy is facing and the full indictment document.

Cassie Ventura: R&B singer Cassie Ventura accused Combs of raping, sex trafficking and abusing her in a 2023 lawsuit that was settled quickly. Months later, disturbing footage from 2016 emerged that showed Combs viciously assaulting Ventura at a hotel. Combs apologized for the assault in the video, which prompted Ventura to release a statement about domestic violence.

Lawsuits: Other lawsuits have been filed against Combs, including by Dawn Richard of Danity Kane, accusing him of years-long patterns of sexual assault, vindictive and violent behavior, and sex trafficking — all of which Combs has denied.
