P Diddy: Sean Combs accused of trafficking at least three women in sexual abuse scheme in new indictment

Sean "Diddy" Combs was accused in a new criminal indictment of trafficking at least three women in a 20-year-long sexual abuse scheme. Prosecutors said on Thursday that the rapper - also known as P Diddy and Puff Daddy - transported three female victims along with commercial sex workers across state lines and internationally.

One of the victims is Combs' former girlfriend Casandra Ventura - also known as Cassie. The newly filed New York indictment charges him with racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution. There are no additional charges in the new indictment. Combs, 55, is set to go on trial from 5 May. He denies all charges and pleaded not guilty to the first indictment - which referenced just one female victim - filed against him last year.

The mogul has been detained at Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center since his arrest in September and was denied bail at $50m (£37.8m). Read more: What are the allegations against Sean Combs?

From December: There are 'hundreds' more

Combs is alleged to have used his business empire - including his record label Bad Boy Entertainment - to sexually abuse women. As part of the alleged abuse, women were made to take part in recorded sexual performances called "freak offs" with male sex workers who were sometimes transported across state lines.

Last year, CNN broadcast a video of Combs kicking, shoving and dragging Cassie in a hotel hallway. He then apologised. Marc Agnifilo, Combs' lawyer, has said the rapper never denied assaulting Cassie but said that the video was not evidence of sex trafficking.

The lawyer has also argued that the "freak offs" described by prosecutors were consensual sexual activity.

Dollar set for best week since November on US rates, economic outlook

By Rae Wee SINGAPORE () -The dollar was on track for its best weekly performance in over a month on Friday, underpinned by expectations of fewer Federal Reserve rate cuts this year and the view that the U.S. economy will continue to outperform the rest of its peers globally. The greenback began the new year on a strong note reaching a more than two-year high of 109.54 against a basket of currencies on Thursday as it extended a stellar rally from last year. Its charge higher has come on the back of a more hawkish Fed and a resilient U.S. economy. "Looks like dollar strength is here to stay for now in early 2025 given the U.S. exceptionalism story is here to stay, and it still comes with high U.S. yields," said Charu Chanana, chief investment strategist at Saxo. "Add to that the uncertainty from policies of the incoming (Donald) Trump administration, and you also get the safety aspect of the dollar looking attractive." Ahead of U.S. President-elect Trump'...

Stocks and dollar end 2024 steady, 2025 all about Trump

By Ankur Banerjee and Alun John SINGAPORE/LONDON () -World stocks held steady on Tuesday in cautious year-end trading that has seen investors bracing for the incoming Donald Trump administration by scaling back bets on deep U.S. interest rate cuts in 2025, helping the dollar stand tall against most other currencies. Volumes were light with a holiday for the New Year looming, with the Santa-rally largely failing to materialise as elevated Treasury yields weigh on high equity valuations and boost the greenback. MSCI's world share index was flat on the day, but set to wrap up 2025 with a 16% annual gain. This year's rally has been largely a U.S. phenomenon, with the having risen around 24% compared with an 8% gain for MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan, and just 5% for Europe's . () But the mood latterly has been more cautious on the back of higher U.S. Treasury yields. The yield on the 10-year note reached 4.64% late last week, its highest...
