DIDDY'S SICK WORLD: IT'S WORSE THANAN ANYONE KNOWS

AS SEAN COMBS FACES LIFE IN PRISON ON SHOCKING FEDERAL CRIME CHARGES, HOLLYWOOD IS RATTLED BY NEWS OF HIS SEX PARTIES, SECRET BLACKMAIL TAPES AND DEPRAVED VIOLENCE TOWARD WOMEN.

FROM Puff Daddy and Puffy to P.Diddy, Diddy, PD and even, briefly, Love, music mogul Sean Combs has been called a lot of things during his decades-long career in the entertainment industry. Federal prosecutors have a new name for the rapper: deF fendant. In a 14-page indictment issued by the Southern District of New York and unsealed Sept. 17, prosecutors paint Diddy as the kingpin of a shocking "criminal enterprise" that allowed him to abuse, threaten and coerce women for years "to fulfill his sexual desires, protect his reputation and conceal his conduct."

The previous day, Diddy was arrested at the Park Hyatt Hotel in Manhattan and taken into custody by Homeland Security agents. He's now facing three criminal counts: racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution, to which he's pleaded not guilty. The indictment opens a view into Diddy's sick world of drug-fueled sex parties known as Freak Offs and the lengths to which he and his employees allegedly went to conceal his behavior. Feds claim the 54-year-old, worth an estimated $400 million, engaged in "a persistent and pervasive pattern" of emotional, physical and sexual abuse against women then "pressured witnesses and victims, including through attempted bribery, to stay silent." As horrific as the indictment is, a source tells Star, "it's actually even worse than anybody knows."
