The case has put a spotlight on the music mogul’s alleged lifestyle away from public view. In their indictment, federal prosecutors cited alleged “Freak Offs,” Sean Combs’ name for elaborate sex performances in which he is accused of drugging and coercing victims into performing extended sex acts with male sex workers, beginning around 2009.

Sean “Diddy” Combs’ mother has spoken out in his defence following his arrest for alleged sex offences, saying: “My son is not the monster they have painted him to be.”

The mother of Sean "Diddy" Combs released a statement Sunday defending her son against the federal charges ​and multiple allegations of sexual misconduct he is currently facing.
