‘A culture of silence and deference’: A sex trafficking expert analyzes the allegations against Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs
LA TimesThe indictment alleges that Sean “Diddy” Combs used a pattern of coercion, threats and violence to keep victims under his control. The former chief of the sex trafficking unit at the Kings County district attorney’s office in Brooklyn said she was not surprised by the accusations against Sean “Diddy” Combs because the celebrity, money and power swirling in the music industry can so easily draw in people wanting to be part of the business. Lauren Hersh, now the national director of the activist group World Without Exploitation, spoke with The Times about the methods Combs is accused of using to entice and control victims, as well as the public’s changing understanding on how sex trafficking works. The indictment, announced Monday, also followed civil suits filed by Combs’ ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura and others alleging sexual abuse and physical assault. He’d record videos of sex acts, then dangle videos over people’s heads, where “If you speak or reveal anything I will disseminate this.” That’s terrifying, that’s life wrecking.
