Legal experts agree that the case against Sean “Diddy” Combs is comprised of “strong” evidence.
is currently incarcerated in Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center, awaiting trial on racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and interstate transportation to engage in prostitution charges. The beleaguered mogul is facing 15 years to life in federal prison for allegedly heading a criminal enterprise of people who enabled him to drug and coerce women to participate in sex sessions he called “Freak Offs” with male sex workers he procured.
Davis says, ”You’re seeing a lot of the same elements in terms of coercion, the use of a recording career as a potential way to motivate people to participate, having personnel around bodyguards and the like to help the enterprise along because nobody can do this by themselves.” She also observes that both cases evoke the Mann Act, which she calls a “low-hanging fruit” of a charge because “all you have to show there is transportation for the purposes of some illicit sexual act.
The end of the Combs indictment contains a “forfeiture” section. While some readers speculated that it meant Combs’ bank accounts and assets had been immediately frozen, Rahmani clarifies that this isn’t the case, and the section is meant to reveal the prosecution’s desire to seize any assets that they can prove funded his criminal enterprise.
Some have speculated on why the six weapons Homeland Security retrieved during their raids of Combs’ homes weren’t charged in the indictment. Elizabeth Geddes, a former federal prosecutor in Brooklyn who delivered the closing arguments in the EDNY R. Kelly trial, explains that those weapons are out of the Southern District’s jurisdiction.
The prosecution can add additional charges in a later superseding indictment, and they also have the latitude to offer Combs a plea deal for the existing charges and inform him that they will add in other charges if he refuses the deal.
