🌟 US Attorney Damen Williams announced the unsealing of a three-count indictment against Shan Combs, charging him with:

• Racketeering conspiracy
• Sex trafficking
• Interstate transportation for prostitution

🚨 The indictment alleges that between 2008 and the present, Combs abused, threatened, and coerced victims to fulfill his sexual desires, using his business empire to facilitate criminal activities.

💔 Combs allegedly exploited women through:

• Force and coercion for sexual performances
• Use of drugs to maintain compliance
• Physical, emotional, and verbal abuse

📹 Notably, incidents of violence were recorded, including a March 2016 incident where Combs was seen kicking and dragging a victim in a hotel.

🔒 The indictment also details how Combs used embarrassing recordings as leverage against victims, maintaining control through threats and financial manipulation.

💼 Combs did not act alone; he allegedly used employees and associates to facilitate his actions, including booking hotel rooms and providing supplies for illegal activities.

🔍 In late 2023, after public allegations, Combs and others pressured witnesses to remain silent, further complicating the investigation.

🔫 During searches of Combs' residences, law enforcement seized:

• Firearms including three defaced AR-15s
• Evidence of sex trafficking including videos and images
• Over 1,000 bottles of personal lubricant and baby oil

⚖️ The US Attorney's office is committed to prosecuting anyone involved in sex trafficking, regardless of their status or wealth.

🔄 The investigation is ongoing, and further charges against Combs or his associates may arise as new evidence is uncovered.
