Combs is also alleged to have brought the people from abroad and across US state borders for the purpose of prostitution, according to the extended indictment, which is available to Deutsche Presse-Agentur dpa. The additional charges could result in a longer prison sentence. His lawyers have so far denied all offenses.
In custody for months
Combs has been in custody since mid-September. The rapper is accused by the public prosecutor's office in New York of sex trafficking, organized crime and other offences. The trial is currently set to begin in May. There are also a number of civil lawsuits for sexual abuse. A law firm in Houston in the US state of Texas has announced that it is representing 120 people with allegations against the rapper.
With hits such as "I'll Be Missing You" and "Bad Boy For Life", the musician has been one of the most successful rappers in the world in recent decades. In the course of his career, he used the pseudonyms "Puff Daddy", "P. Diddy" and "Diddy", among others.
