Federal prosecutors have filed an updated indictment against Sean Combs, bringing new charges of sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution. The revised indictment, filed on Thursday, expands the charges against the music mogul, who already faced allegations related to managing an extensive criminal operation that prosecutors say involved assaulting and trafficking women through his various businesses dating back to at least 2004.

Combs, who has pleaded not guilty to all charges, now faces five federal counts, including racketeering, sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion, and transportation to engage in prostitution. The latest indictment adds another count specifically alleging Combs recruited and transported victims with the intent to force them into sexual acts, a charge covering conduct from as recently as 2021.

Additionally, prosecutors introduced a count related to the Mann Act—a law prohibiting the interstate transport of individuals for prostitution. This charge involves alleged conduct affecting two separate victims and was previously consolidated into one charge.

Prosecutors further amended the existing racketeering charge to include a new sentencing enhancement, highlighting allegations that Combs kidnapped and threatened one victim, reportedly holding her over a balcony at gunpoint, among other threats.

In response, Combs’ legal team refuted the charges, emphasizing that no new accusers have come forward. “These are not new allegations or new accusers,” the attorneys stated. “These are the same individuals, former long-term girlfriends, who were involved in consensual relationships. This was their private sex life, defined by consent, not coercion.”

According to prosecutors, Combs leveraged his prominence and resources to "intimidate, threaten, and lure female victims" under the guise of romantic involvement. Victims allegedly were compelled into extended sexual encounters with hired male prostitutes, termed "Freak Offs," often recorded by Combs and his associates. Authorities also contend these arrangements involved transporting sex workers across state lines and internationally.

Combs, currently detained in Brooklyn awaiting trial scheduled for May, is expected to be formally arraigned on the expanded charges at a hearing set for April 25.
