A 14-page indictment, which cited Diddy’s infamous partiesnicknamed “Freak-Offs,” as evidence, claimed that Diddy “abused, threatened and coerced women and others around him” for decades.
Diddy has denied the allegations and pleaded not guilty to the charges. He was sent to the Brooklyn Metropolitan Detention Center until his trial. a judge he was denied bail in four separate appeals.
More recently, federal judge Arun Subramanian ruled “that no condition or combination of conditions will reasonably ensure the safety of the community” if it grants Diddy’s bail request, according to documents obtained by Us weekly at the end of November.

One alleged victim claimed that Diddy told them that going to the police would make them “look like an idiot,” adding that he “would never be able to substantiate his claims against Combs” due to his celebrity status.
The same accuser also alleged that men around Diddy called his cell phone to “threaten and intimidate” him into silence after the sexual assault. According to the lawsuit, the alleged victims did not tell their stories out of fear and humiliation.
Diddy’s lawyers criticized the allegations in a statement to Us. “These allegations are full of lies,” the statement reads. “We will prove them to be false and seek sanctions against every unethical attorney who has filed fictitious lawsuits against them.”
A statement issued to Us in October noted that “Mr. Combs and his legal team have complete confidence in the facts, their legal defenses and the integrity of the judicial process. “In court the truth will prevail: that Mr. Combs has never sexually assaulted anyone, whether adult or minor, man or woman.”
