Combs’ legal troubles and federal custody

Combs is currently in federal custody, awaiting trial on charges related to sex trafficking and racketeering. He was arrested on September 16, 2024, and is accused of organizing “freak off” sex parties involving women who were allegedly coerced into performing grueling sexual acts. The ongoing legal cases paint a troubling picture of the rap mogul’s actions behind the scenes.

Further reports emerged in October regarding the allegations of these sex parties, which prosecutors claim sometimes involved women who were manipulated or threatened.

Lawsuits filed against Combs for alleged drugging and rape

In addition to sex trafficking accusations, Combs is facing lawsuits from three men who have accused him of drugging and raping them. According to court documents, the plaintiffs allege that they were given alcoholic drinks laced with drugs, making them feel ill and lose consciousness, only to wake up to find Combs allegedly assaulting them.

Combs’ legal team has vehemently denied the claims, asserting that the accusations are false and defamatory.
