Indictment against Sean 'Diddy' Combs details allegations of 'Freak Off' sex performances

• The federal indictment against Sean 'Diddy' Combs accuses the rapper of arranging 'Freak Offs.'
• They involved 'extended sex acts' between female victims and male commercial sex workers.

An unsealed federal indictment against Sean "Diddy" Combs alleges the music mogul arranged and filmed what he called "Freak Offs": elaborate sex performances between female victims and male commercial sex workers.

The rapper and entrepreneur was arrested Monday, and charged with three felonies: racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution.

In the indictment, prosecutors accuse Combs and his associates of luring female victims "under the pretense of a romantic relationship," and then forcing or coercing them "to engage in extended sex acts with male commercial sex workers."

Combs referred to the performances as "Freak Offs," according to the indictment, which notes he "arranged, directed, masturbated during, and often electronically recorded" the acts.

"Freak Offs occurred regularly, sometimes lasted multiple days, and often involved multiple commercial sex workers," the indictment reads, noting Combs "distributed a variety of controlled substances to victims, in part to keep the victims obedient and compliant."

Victims were sometimes filmed without their knowledge, according to the indictment's allegations.

After the Freak Offs, Combs and his victims "typically received IV fluids to recover from the physical exertion and drug use," according to the indictment.

Combs has denied the allegations.

"We are disappointed with the decision to pursue what we believe is an unjust prosecution of Mr. Combs by the US Attorney's Office," Marc Agnifilo, Combs' lawyer, told Business Insider in a statement on Monday. "Sean "Diddy" Combs is a music icon, self-made entrepreneur, loving family man, and proven philanthropist who has spent the last 30 years building an empire, adoring his children, and working to uplift the Black community. He is an imperfect person, but he is not a criminal."

Agnifilo added that Combs "looks forward to clearing his name in court."

Combs has been accused of sexual and physical abuse by former romantic and creative partners. The Department of Homeland Security raided his Los Angeles and Miami homes in March.

During the raids, the indictment says, law enforcement "seized various Freak Off supplies, including narcotics and more than 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant."
