2. SOUNDBITE (English) Damian Williams, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York:
"As alleged, Combs used force, threats of force and coercion to cause victims to engage in extended sexual performances with male commercial sex workers, some of whom he transported or caused to be transported over state lines. Combs allegedly planned and controlled the sex performances, which he called ‘Freak offs.’ And he often electronically recorded them. The ‘Freak offs’ sometimes lasted days at a time, involved multiple commercial sex workers and often involved a variety of narcotics such as ketamine, ecstasy and GHB, which Combs distributed to the victims to keep them obedient and compliant."

3. SOUNDBITE (English) Damian Williams, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York:
"A year ago, Sean Combs stood in Times Square and was handed a key to New York City. Today, he’s been indicted and will face justice in the Southern district of New York."
STORYLINE:
Sean “Diddy” Combs has been indicted on federal sex trafficking and racketeering charges.
The indictment that was unsealed Tuesday says the music mogul abused women for over a decade and presided over a sordid empire of sexual crimes. He was arrested Monday in Manhattan.
The indictment details allegations dating to 2008 that he abused, threatened and coerced women for years “to fulfill his sexual desires, protect his reputation, and conceal his conduct.”
Over the past year, Combs has been sued by people who say he subjected them to physical or sexual abuse. He has denied many of those allegations, and his lawyer says Combs is innocent and will plead not guilty.
