Sean “Diddy” Combs, the legendary music mogul, was accused by federal prosecutors of abusing women in a sweeping indictment unsealed Tuesday in New York. Combs, who has been under scrutiny for years, has denied any wrongdoing. But prosecutors say Combs used his business to exploit women, using force or the threat of force.

The indictment accuses Combs of orchestrating a widespread criminal conspiracy, operated through his various businesses with the aid of his employees and business associates.

Sean "Diddy" Combs is accused of holding regular "Freak Offs" as part of a racketeering conspiracy to abuse women, authorities say.
