Sean ‘Diddy ‘ Combs used guns, kidnapping and arson to intimidate victims: feds

Sean “Diddy” Combs carried guns “to intimidate and threaten” his victims and the witnesses of his abuse, according to a sex-trafficking indictment against the hip-hop mogul.

The music producer “carried or brandished firearms to intimidate and threaten others, including victims of and witnesses to his abuse,” the court papers say.

Combs also had his security staff carry weapons, and when the feds raided his homes in Miami and Los Angeles, they found three AR-15s with “defaced serial numbers,” other guns, ammunition, and a drum magazine, the indictment alleges.

Combs’ staff sometimes saw Combs’ “violence toward victims” or saw their injuries and did nothing to intervene, the court papers say.

Combs’ physical violence allegedly included kidnapping, arson, throwing things, hitting, dragging, choking and shoving, the feds claim.

Combs also had his security staff carry weapons.

When the feds raided his homes in Miami and Los Angeles, they found three AR-15s with “defaced serial numbers,” other guns, ammunition, and a drum magazine, the indictment alleges.

And Combs and his employees would often try to stop victims from leaving his home or hotel rooms — forcing them to remain in hiding for days at times — so their injuries could be kept from the public, the court papers allege.

They also attempted to bribe and pressure victims into silence or would feed them a “false narrative of events in an effort to conceal Combs’ crimes,” the indictment alleges.
