Combs's lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, told reporters his client would plead not guilty.

"He's going to fight this with all of his energy and all of his might," he added.

Combs is also charged with one count of transporting victims across state lines to engage in prostitution.

The indictment alleges that – for decades – he "abused, threatened, and coerced women and others around him to fulfill his sexual desires, protect his reputation, and conceal his conduct."

It accused him of running a "criminal enterprise" that carried out "sex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, arson, bribery, and obstruction of justice."

Combs allegedly engaged in a "persistent and pervasive pattern" of verbal, emotional, physical, and sexual abuse of women, the indictment said.

"On numerous occasions from at least in or about 2009 and continuing for years, Combs assaulted women by, among other things, striking, punching, dragging, throwing objects at, and kicking them," it said.

Williams said female victims were forced to engage in extended sexual performances with male commercial sex workers called "Freak Offs," which were planned and controlled by Combs and often videotaped.

"The Freak Offs sometimes lasted days at a time... and often involved a variety of narcotics such as ketamine, ecstasy, and GHB," he said. "The indictment alleges that Combs threatened and coerced victims to get them to participate in the Freak Offs."
