When federal agents raided Sean “Diddy” Combs’ Miami and Los Angeles mansions, they found guns, drugs and evidence of the “freak offs” the mogul is believed to have hosted, according to a federal indictment.
The indictment, unsealed Tuesday, accuses Diddy, 54, of running a “conspiracy to extort” by “engaging in a persistent and pervasive pattern of abuse against women and other individuals.” The accused music mogul is charged with sex trafficking, extortion and transportation to engage in prostitution.

Women and sex workers recruited by Diddy and his staff were forced to participate in “freak offs,” essentially sexual performances that Diddy directed and often filmed, the indictment says. Diddy’s employees would arrange his access to women and sex workers, often across state lines, and provided controlled substances to keep the women “obedient and compliant”.
When federal agents searched the Bad Boy Records founder’s enclaves in Los Angeles and at 2 Star Island Drive in Miami Beach, they discovered “freak off” paraphernalia — including drugs like ketamine and ecstasy and more than 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant. Agents also found three AR-15s with scratched off serial numbers as well as a drum magazine.
Diddy and his employees, according to the indictment, would track down the victim and confront them with recordings of “freak offs” to pressure them into silence.
