The indictment of Sean Combs exemplifies a familiar federal prosecution strategy against high-profile men accused of long-term abuse against women, paralleling cases like those of R. Kelly and Keith Raniere.
Prosecutors utilize racketeering charges to depict a conspiracy as a complex enterprise, allowing them to introduce older crimes and extend their prosecutorial reach beyond expiration of state statutes.
Combs faces serious charges, ranging from arson to narcotics distribution, with potential consequences that include a mandatory minimum of 15 years for sex trafficking and life imprisonment for racketeering.
The unsealed indictment reflects an extensive examination of historical allegations, mirroring the legal approaches taken with past high-profile defendants embroiled in significant abuse allegations.
