DISGRACED rapper Diddy orchestrated days-long, drug-fueled sex parties that he forced victims to take part in, a bombshell federal indictment has claimed.

On Tuesday, federal prosecutors released the indictment announcing Combs was charged with racketeering, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution.
The music sensation was arrested on Monday night at a New York City hotel hours after he was seen relaxing in Central Park.
The charges came less than a year after a lawsuit filed by Combs' ex Cassie Ventura accused the rapper of physically and sexually abusing her for years.
That suit spurred a raft of other allegations made by alleged victims of the music mogul.

According to prosecutors, Combs threw wild parties he called "freak offs" where he would fly in sex workers for days of raucous sessions.
However once at the party, workers would be coerced through money and intimidated into performing sick nonconsensual acts, the indictment claims.
Combs organized and directed these parties in part, prosecutors allege, so he could record sex acts while he masturbated.
After days of non-stop drug use and drinking, participants were often mailed IV bags to help recover from the revelry, the indictment claims.

What happened during Sean Combs' 'freak offs'?
Sean Combs' infamous drug-fueled freak offs, first revealed by his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura's lawsuit in November 2023, have become a central narrative of the indictment, which alleges:
- The music mogul "manipulated women to participate in highly orchestrated performances of sexual activity with male commercial sex workers."
- Freak offs "occurred regularly, sometimes lasted multiple days, and often involved multiple commercial sex workers."
- Combs "distributed a variety of controlled substances to victims, in part to keep the victims obedient and compliant."
- He and the victims "typically received IV fluids to recover from the physical exertion and drug use" after the freak offs.
- Cops "seized various Freak Off supplies, including narcotics and more than 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant" from his homes in Los Angeles and Miami.
- Combs "hit, kicked, threw objects at, and dragged victims, at times, by their hair," during and separate from the freak offs, which "often resulted in injuries that took days or weeks to heal."
- He also 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."
BLACKMAIL
Freaks offs were used in part so Combs could hold power over participants with his recordings of the degrading acts, prosecutors believe.
Using violence and coercion, Combs would allegedly threaten anyone working for his business The Combs Enterprise who wished to opt out of the sessions.
Those working for Combs helped plan freak offs, which happened often and usually lasted for days, according to prosecutors.
Prosecutors said Combs' employees booked the hotel rooms, gave the rapper wads of cash he allegedly used to pay off the sex workers, and cleaned up after the parties.
They often stashed the hotels with controlled substances, baby oil, extra linens, and lighting ahead of the parties, prosecutors allege.
In some instances, hotels charged Combs extra for damage sustained to couches and linens, the reported.
“It was like they had a party. The couch had oil stains,” a former employee of a New York City hotel told the outlet.
“In the room there was stains on the couches with body oils and the hotel needed to charge him for extra cleaning.”
The former employee also confirmed investigators were piecing together dates of Combs' stays at the hotel.
“People had reached out to the hotel asking if he stayed at certain dates at the hotel. I don’t know if it was federal lawyers or Diddy’s lawyers but they were trying to coordinate the dates he was there," the former employee told the Post.
The evidence against Sean 'Diddy' Combs
The months-long federal sex trafficking probe against Sean Combs has culminated in a searing incictment that was unsealed on Tuesday. Combs has been hit with one count of racketeering and one count of sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion, and one count of transportation to engage in prostitution. But behind those legal charges lies a mountain of alleged evidence of menace, violence, and horrific abuse of his fame. The indictment alleges:
- Combs "abused, threatened, and coerced women and others around him to fulfill his sexual desires, protect his reputation, and conceal his conduct."
- He "created a criminal enterprise whose members and associates engaged in, and attempted to engage in, among other crimes, sex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, arson, bribery, and obstruction of justice."
- The rapper assaulted women by "striking, punching, dragging, throwing objects at, and kicking them."
- Combs "manipulated women to participate in highly orchestrated performances of sexual activity with male commercial sex workers" that he called "freak offs."
- Freak offs "occurred regularly, sometimes lasted multiple days, and often involved multiple commercial sex workers."
- During freak offs, he "distributed a variety of controlled substances to victims, in part to keep the victims obedient and compliant."
- After freak offs, Combs and the victims "typically received IV fluids to recover from the physical exertion and drug use."
- In March 2024, during searches of his residences in Miami and Los Angeles, "law enforcement seized various Freak Off supplies, including narcotics and more than 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant."
- During and separate from Freak Offs, Combs "hit, kicked, threw objects at, and dragged victims, at times, by their hair…These assaults often resulted in injuries that took days or weeks to heal."
- He also 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."
- Combs himself "brandished firearms to intimidate and threaten others, including victims of and witnesses to his abuse."
- During searches of his homes, "law enforcement seized firearms and ammunition, including three AR-15s with defaced serial numbers, as well as a drum magazine."
- Associates "assisted him in locating and contacting victims who attempted to flee his abuse."
- When witnesses to the abuse threatened his authority or reputation, he and members and associates of the enterprise "engaged in acts of violence, threats of violence, threats of financial and reputational harm, and verbal abuse. These acts of violence included kidnapping and arson."
Participants in the freak offs who were recorded would be blackmailed into attending future gatherings, prosecutors alleged, out of fear Combs would share the videos with others.
The bombshell allegations against Combs came less than a year after Ventura claimed in her lawsuit that she was forced to have sex with male prostitutes while the disgraced music mogul watched.
Ventura alleged that Combs plied her with drugs and alcohol to keep her compliant so she would participate in his sick game.
The rapper denied the allegations and the suit was settled out of court, but after this, a surveillance video surfaced that showed Combs beating Ventura in a hotel hallway.
In the video, Combs was seen chasing after Ventura and knocking her to the ground before he stomped her body.
Wearing nothing but a towel, he then sat close by while she lay motionless before throwing a vase at her, the footage revealed.
An incident that matches this video was mentioned in the indictment and was used as evidence of Combs' alleged abuse.
Prosecutors claim a hotel staff member tried to intervene and stop the attack before Combs allegedly tried to bribe them with cash to keep them quiet.
Despite his previous denial, Combs acknowledged the video after its release and issued a public apology to his ex.
In a video, the rapper said, "I was f***ed up. I mean, I hit rock bottom but I make no excuses. My behavior on that video is inexcusable.
"I take full responsibility for my actions in that video. I'm disgusted. I was disgusted then when I did it and I'm disgusted now."
'WE ARE NOT DONE'
In a press conference held on Tuesday, US Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Damian Williams, said Combs was in custody and would appear in court that same day.
Williams publicly stated the desire to keep Combs behind bars until his trial, calling him a flight risk.
Combs, however, has reportedly proposed a $50 million bail package in exchange for his freedom until he faces trial.
He is willing to offer his $48 million Miami home, plus his mother's $2 million Miami home, according to .
Combs is also willing to limit his travel, keep his private jet parked in Los Angeles, and wear a GPS tracking device, the outlet reported.
If Combs is convicted and receives a maximum sentence, he faces a combined 45 years behind bars.
The racketeering charge has a 20-year max, the sex trafficking charge carries a 15-year max, and the other charge has a 10-year max.
In addition, Williams said the investigation is ongoing, and further charges could be announced - both for Combs and his reported co-conspirators.
"We are not done," he said.

SHOCK SUITS
After Ventura filed her suit, five more women sued Combs, with many claiming they were raped or sexually abused by the rapper.
Just one week ago, a judge ordered the producer to pay out $100 million to sexual assault accuser Derrick Lee Cardello-Smith.
Cardello-Smith, who is in prison for sex charges, filed a lawsuit against Combs in June, claiming Combs drugged and assaulted him in 1997.
The judge issued the payout after Combs failed to show up to court.
A statement obtained by The U.S. Sun from Agnifilo claimed the rapper has never interacted with Derrick.
“This man is a convicted felon and sexual predator, who has been sentenced on 14 counts of sexual assault and kidnapping over the last 26 years," the attorney stated.
"His resume now includes committing a fraud on the court from prison, as Mr. Combs has never heard of him let alone been served with any lawsuit.
"Mr. Combs looks forward to having this judgment swiftly dismissed.”
