Federal prosecutors unveiled a disturbing array of accusations against rapper and media mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs as they charged him with three counts of sex trafficking and racketeering that allegedly spans decades.
“The freak-offs sometimes lasted days at a time, involved multiple commercial sex workers and often involved a variety of narcotics, such as ketamine, ecstasy and GHB,” Williams added, referring lastly to a depressant. Williams spoke of the firearms that law enforcement found at Combs’ homes in California and Florida, including several handguns, a “large capacity” drum magazine and three AR-15s with defaced serial numbers — two of which were found in Combs’ bedroom closet in Miami, he said.
“In short, if the defendant wanted to flee, he has the money, manpower and tools to do so quickly and without detection. The defendant’s lack of access to his passport or private jet would not negate the fact that the defendant could easily buy his way out of facing justice.”Thank you for your past contribution to HuffPost.

But the indictment points the finger at Combs’ business endeavors and unnamed people involved with them, including Bad Boy Entertainment, Combs Enterprises and Combs Global.
