Sean Combs, known as Diddy in the music world, is in hot water again. Just a month before his trial in New York, federal prosecutors have slapped him with two more criminal charges. These new charges are linked to a person referred to as "Victim-2. " The prosecutors claim that these events happened between 2021 and 2024.

Initially, Combs was hit with charges of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and transportation for prostitution. These charges involved three victims. Now, with the new additions, he is facing a total of five federal charges. The trial is set to begin with jury selection on May 5, and Combs has maintained his innocence, pleading not guilty.

The prosecutors have some serious allegations. They claim that Combs and his crew used his influence to pressure women into sexual acts. Often, these encounters were disguised as romantic relationships. These incidents, dubbed "Freak Offs, " involved drugging women and forcing them to have sex with male prostitutes. The prosecutors say these events were recorded and could last for days.

Combs' legal team has a different story. They argue that the sexual encounters were consensual and part of ongoing relationships. But the prosecutors aren't buying it. They also accuse Combs of violent behavior when his control was challenged. One incident involves Combs allegedly dangling a victim over a balcony. Other accusations include kidnapping and arson.

It's a messy situation, and the trial is set to bring more details to light. The public will be watching closely to see how this all plays out. The legal battle ahead will surely be intense, with both sides presenting their arguments and evidence.
