Sean “Diddy” Combs, one of the most powerful figures in the music industry, was hit with a three-count federal indictmentcharging himwith of sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution.

Theindictment lays out stunning allegationsagainst the Bad Boy Records founder, including claims that he coerced women into performing orchestrated sex acts with male sex workers.

Combs has pleaded not guilty, according to theAssociated Press. His lawyer Marc Agnifilo says his client plans to plead not guilty, and Agnifilo said he would“fight like hell”to get Combs released from federal custody.

Combs was arrested at a Manhattan hotel a day before the indictment was unsealed on Tuesday, Sept. 17.

Combs Allegedly Forced Victims to Participate in ‘Freak Offs’

Prosecutors allege that Combs would lure victims under the pretense of a romantic relationship before allegedly using “force, threats of force and coercion” in order to get them to participate.

The alleged “freak offs” would sometimes last several days and sometimes featured multiple commercial sex workers. Combs is alleged to have arranged and directed the “freak offs;" prosecutors claim he recorded them electronically and masturbated while they were going on.

Combs Allegedly Used Drugs, Influence and Intimidation to Coerce Women

Combs, who has amassed enormous power and influence within the music industry over the past three-plus decades, is accused of using that influence to ensure the women participated in the “freak offs.”

Further, prosecutors claim that Combs provided drugs to the victims to foster compliance.

The drugs supplied allegedly included cocaine, oxycodone and ketamine, among others, according to the indictment.

Victims Received IV Fluids

Because the alleged “freak offs” were physically exerting and sometimes lasted several days, prosecutors say Combs and the victims needed IV treatment after “freak offs.”

The need for the IVs stemmed from the need to recover from the exertion as well as the drug use, the indictment alleges.

Alleged Physical Abuse

One alleged incident in a Los Angeles hotel in 2016 was captured on camera, prosecutors say. In the video, prosecutors alleged Combs kicked, dragged and threw a vase at a woman.

In an attempt to ensure silence, prosecutors allege that Combs attempted to bribe a hotel staff member who had tried to intervene.

Alleged Involvement of Combs' Employees

Though Combs’ is accused of arranging the “freak offs” at the center of the indictment, prosecutors also say his employees helped facilitate them.

The employees, including high-ranking supervisors, security staff, household staff and personal assistants, allegedly helped book travel for the victims and sex workers and booked travel, the indictment states.

They are also accused of having stocked hotel rooms with supplies, cleaned the rooms afterward in addition to having resupplied Combs, delivered cash to pay sex workers and scheduled delivery of IV fluids.
