What are ‘Freak Offs’?
The indictment accuses Combs of presiding over a sordid empire of sexual crimes that used his "power and prestige" for "sex trafficking, forced labor, interstate transportation for purposes of prostitution, drug offenses, kidnapping, arson, bribery and obstruction of justice."
"Freak Offs" were gatherings where Diddy allegedly wielded his power to lure victims into sex acts with male commercial sex workers, ccording to the indictment unsealed Tuesday.
The Bad Boy Records founder is accused of facilitating a network of associates and employees who helped keep victims in line using blackmail like the videos taken during the parties.
Diddy ‘Freak Off’ details
These employees would allegedly be in charge of facilitating the "Freak Offs" by booking hotel rooms.
Associates would allegedly arrange travel for victims, sex workers, and Diddy, in addition to delivering cash to pay the workers, and schedule IV fluid deliveries (used to recover from the parties).
Authorities say these "Freak Offs" would occur regularly, even lasting multiple days.
His employees allegedly facilitated "Freak Offs" by handling travel, hotel arrangements, and supplying drugs and baby oil.
They also arranged travel for victims, sex workers, and Combs, resupplied him with necessary items, delivered cash to pay the workers, and scheduled IV fluid deliveries.
Diddy's baby oil
During the March search of his LA and Miami homes, law enforcement seized narcotics, videos, three AR-15s with defaced serial numbers, and more than 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant they say were "Freak Off" supplies.
His employees would allegedly ensure that the "Freak Offs" were stocked with baby oil, linens, and lighting,
Could Diddy go to prison?
Combs’ attorney Marc Agnifilo declared his client’s innocence, and said they would appeal the bail decision, with a hearing expected Wednesday afternoon.
The "Freak Offs," Agnifilo says, were agreed upon prior and not coercive.
"Is it sex trafficking? Not if everybody wants to be there," Agnifilo said,
Prosecutors said in court papers that they had interviewed more than 50 victims and witnesses and expect the number to grow. They said they would use financial, travel and billing records, electronic data and communications and videos of the "Freak Offs" to prove their case.
A conviction on every charge in the indictment would require a mandatory 15 years in prison with the possibility of a life sentence.
Combs and his attorneys denied similar allegations made by others in a string of lawsuits filed over the last few years.
