Prosecutors in New York have expanded their case against rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs.
Combs has been accused of coercing two additional women into commercial sex acts and of dangling a person over an apartment balcony.
The rapper has been in jail since September after an initial indictment charged him with racketeering, sex trafficking by force, and transportation to engage in prostitution.

On Thursday, the indictment was updated to add two more victims, although no new charges were added to the case.
In the new filing, prosecutors allege that Combs used force, threats of force, and coercion, to cause victims, including but not limited to three female victims, to engage in commercial sex acts.
The document moves the alleged start date of Combs’ sex trafficking offences back to 2004, four years earlier than previously stated.

It also expands the list of narcotics that he allegedly used to keep his victims obedient and silent adding methamphetamine and psychedelic mushrooms to the previously cited cocaine, oxycodone and ketamine.
However, the 55 years old has strenuously denied all the accusations against him, including the federal criminal case and more than 30 separate civil lawsuits.
Notably Combs’ legal team has previously dismissed the charges as baseless and accused the government of conducting a “witch hunt.”
