DOJ Details How Diddy Coerced Victims Into Dayslong Sex Parties Called ‘Freak Offs’

Damian Williams, the U.S. Attorney with the Southern District of New York, detailed the indictment against Sean “Diddy” Combs during a press conference on Tuesday morning, accusing the rapper of having “abused, threatened and coerced victims to fulfill his sexual desires, protect his reputation and conceal his conduct.”

The DOJ alleged that Combs planned and forced his “multiple” victims to engage in sex with male sex workers, which he called “freak offs.”

The sometimes dayslong sexual performances were said to be electronically recorded in an effort to coerce and control victims, according to law enforcement.

Williams claimed that ketamine, MDMA and the date rape drug GBH were used to keep victims “obedient and compliant.”

During the conference, Williams stood beside a poster with photographs of multiple AR-15-style firearms with “defaced serial numbers” and high-capacity ammunition drums, which were recovered during a pair of March raids on Combs’ residences in Miami and Los Angeles.

The DOJ also said that it seized more than 1,000 bottles of baby oil and personal lubricant during the raids.

The indictment also alleges Combs used physical violence, kidnapping and arson, among other tactics, to intimidate his victims.

While Williams did not share details about the arson with reporters, a November 2023 lawsuit from his former girlfriend and accuser, Cassie Ventura, alleged that Combs arranged to have rapper Kid Cudi’s car blown up during a period Combs believed he was in a relationship with Ventura.

Ventura settled her suit against Combs out of court just one day after filing, but her allegations opened the door for a number of other victims to come forward with their own claims.
