Sean “Diddy” Combs is on trial in New York on charges of sex trafficking and racketeering. The 17-page indictment against Combs – which reads like a charging document filed against a mafia leader or the head of a drug gang – alleges that Combs engaged in a two-decade pattern of abusive behavior against women and others, with the help of people in his entourage and employees from his network of businesses.
Combs and his lawyers say he is innocent and any group sex was consensual. They say there was no effort to coerce people, and nothing that happened amounted to a criminal racket.
