NEW YORK (Reuters) – Music mogul Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs was hit with a new criminal indictment in his sex trafficking case, court records showed on Thursday.
The three-count indictment contains no additional charges, but references a total of three alleged female victims, compared with one alleged victim in the first indictment, prosecutors said in a letter to the court.
Combs, 55, pleaded not guilty to the first indictment last year. His lawyers did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Thursday.
The indictment charges Combs with racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution. The prosecutors said Combs used his business empire, including his record label Bad Boy Entertainment, to sexually abuse women.
