Diddy faces five federal charges:

• Conspiracy to commit extortion
• Sex trafficking by means of force, fraud, or coercion (two counts)
• Transport for the purpose of prostitution (two counts)

Prosecutors allege that Combs organized what they referred to as “freak offs”: multi-day forced sexual encounters in which victims were drugged and coerced into engaging in sexual acts with others. These encounters were allegedly recorded without consent, according to the indictment.
