Hip hop mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs is behind bars and in court following his arrest late Monday in Manhattan.

A federal grand jury indicted Combs on charges of racketeering, sex trafficking, and transportation for prostitution.

Damian Williams, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, stated at a press conference that prosecutors will seek to detain Combs without bail. Williams indicated that the investigation is ongoing, saying, "We are not done," and did not rule out additional charges against Combs or others.

In a detention memo filed with the court, prosecutors described Combs as “a serious risk of flight,” “a significant risk of obstructing justice,” and “a danger to the community.”

The memo details Combs' alleged use of violence, threats, and coercion since at least 2008 to exert control. It claims that Combs and a co-conspirator kidnapped someone at gunpoint on December 22, 2011, to facilitate breaking into another person's residence, identified as Individual-1. Prosecutors expect testimony from “multiple witnesses” and police reports to support the allegations.
