preCharge News NEW YORK — The indictment said he then used force, threats and coercion to cause victims, including the three women, to engage in commercial sex acts.

It said he subjected his victims to violence, threats of violence, threats of financial and reputational harm and verbal abuse.

“On multiple occasions, Combs threw both objects and people, as well as hit, dragged, choked and shoved others,” it said. “On one occasion, Combs dangled a victim over an apartment balcony.”

Prosecutors offered no other information about that allegation.

An attorney for Combs responded to the indictment Thursday, saying, “The latest Indictment contains no new offenses. The prosecution’s theory remains flawed. The government has added the ridiculous theory that two of Mr. Combs’ former girlfriends were not girlfriends at all but were prostitutes. Mr. Combs is as committed as ever to fighting these charges and winning at trial.”

Sean “Diddy” Combs trial set for May

He has already pled not guilty to charges of sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy and transportation in prostitution.

His trial is scheduled for May 5.
