In a superseding indictment, prosecutors increased the number of alleged victims from one to three and said Combs' criminal conspiracy began years earlier.

Prosecutors in New York have expanded their case against rapper Sean "Diddy" Combs, accusing him of coercing two additional women into commercial sex acts, and of dangling a person over an apartment balcony.

Sean "Diddy" Combs "abused, threatened and coerced women and others around him to fulfill his sexual desires" over a longer period of time than first alleged, federal prosecutors in New York said in a superseding indictment filed Thursday.
