00:00Diddy's alleged freak-offs have been detailed in an unsealed criminal indictment that led
00:05to his arrest this week as he was charged with sex trafficking and racketeering.
00:09We're digging into some of the shocking details.
00:13A day after his arrest, federal prosecutors unveiled a sweeping indictment that claims
00:17the rapper abused, threatened, and coerced women for decades.
00:21It accuses him of running a racketeering conspiracy that included sex trafficking, forced labor,
00:26kidnapping, arson, and bribery.
00:29Many of the allegations center on so-called freak-offs, which prosecutors describe as
00:33elaborate and produced sex performances between victims and male sex workers during which
00:39Combs would masturbate.
00:40They allege Diddy, real name Sean Combs, and his associates wielded the power and prestige
00:45of his fame to intimidate, threaten, and lure female victims into his orbit, then used force,
00:52threats of force, and coercion to get them to participate.
00:55During the freak-offs, prosecutors claimed Combs and others kept victims obedient and
00:59compliant by providing them with drugs, then subjected them to physical, emotional, and
01:04verbal abuse, including hitting and kicking them, threatening career repercussions, and
01:10blackmailing them with footage.
01:12An attorney for Diddy stated,
01:13We are disappointed with the decision to pursue what we believe is an unjust prosecution of
01:18Mr. Combs by the U.S. Attorney's Office.
01:21We will continue to cover this story as it develops.
