Sean "Diddy" Combs' lawyer has revealed the rapper is currently undergoing "treatment and therapy" amid facing serious sexual crimecharges. The 54-year-old music icon was taken into custody on Monday, September 16, at 8:25 p.m., and the following day, he was formally charged with sex trafficking, conspiracy for racketeering, and transportation for prostitution, according to a federal indictment.
During his arraignment on Tuesday, September 17, Diddy's attorney, Marc Agnifilo, disclosed that his client is receiving "treatment and therapy for issues that, with all due respect, he needs assistance with." However, Agnifilo refrained from specifying what the treatment is for, citing privacy concerns.
Agnifilo acknowledged Combs’ imperfections, mentioning a history of drug use and unhealthy relationships, which he described as "mutually toxic." He expressed that seeking help at 54 should be recognized as a positive step.
Despite pleading not guilty in court, Combs was denied bail and remains in custody awaiting trial. Authorities also claimed they discovered what appeared to be illegal substances in the Manhattan hotel room where he was arrested.
Shocking details from Combs’ indictment were revealed, accusing him of organizing "freak offs," described as elaborate sexual performances. The indictment alleges that he used drugs, including cocaine, ketamine, and oxycodone, as well as his fame and power to manipulate and pressure women into participating in these events. These "freak offs" were allegedly filmed without the participants' consent. When Combs' residences in Los Angeles and Miami were searched in March, over 1,000 bottles of baby oil were reportedly seized as part of the "freak off" supplies.
The indictment also accuses Combs of violent physical abuse dating back to 2009, with reports of him striking, dragging, and throwing objects at victims, some incidents witnessed by others.
Combs is set to return to court on Wednesday, September 18, to appeal his bond denial, with another hearing scheduled for Tuesday, September
