Sean Combs, also known as P Diddy, was regarded as one of the most influential figures in hip-hop but the past 10 months have seen him face allegations of rape, sexual assault and forced drugging.
A judge has ordered Sean 'Diddy' Combs be sent to jail after he was indicted on charges of sex trafficking and racketeering. The rapper-turned music mogul, 54, was arrested by officers at the Park Hyatt hotel in Manhattan, New York, on Monday. He pleaded not guilty to three felony counts during an initial court appearance in front of US Magistrate Judge Robyn Tarnofsky on Tuesday, before he was denied bail and told he would be detained.
Combs maintained control over his victims 'by giving them drugs, by giving and threatening to take away financial support or housing, by promising them career opportunities, by monitoring their whereabouts, and even by dictating their physical appearance,' Mr Williams said. The drugs allegedly used by Combs - which included ketamine, ecstasy and GHB - were intended to keep victims 'obedient and compliant', the attorney said.
