The musician faces multiple charges, including sex trafficking.
Mike Marza has the latest in the Diddy case as disgraced movie mogul faces criminal charges.
He did not act alone, according to federal prosecutors, although no one else has yet been charged in the case. Combs allegedly had assistants, managers and security staff who made sure that women and male prostitutes were present at these "freak off" events and that the hotel rooms where they were staged were stocked with supplies like baby oil and lubricant.
It's a stark change that happened instantly -- from living large in his almost $49 million Florida mansion to a cramped jail cell. His legal team vowed to keep trying to get him out of jail. Martinez was involved in the groundbreaking sex trafficking case against the disgraced Kelly. He was found guilty of racketeering, sex trafficking and later child pornography. He was sentenced to 30 years in prison.
Prosecutors alleged that the 54-year-old mogul hid a dark secret behind his lavish lifestyle.One disturbing and shocking "freak off" that prosecutors allege in the Combs indictment occurred around an incident captured in a shocking hotel surveillance video first published on CNN involving Combs, seen on camera beating his ex-partner Cassandra Ventura, also known as "Cassie".
"Before Cassie's lawsuit, Diddy was looking at actually having a pretty good record year, you know, career-wise," ABC News Entertainment Contributor Kelley Carter said. "And then her lawsuit drops in November, and everything came to a crashing halt."
