There are 5 charges against Diddy. Two of those are two counts of sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion. The first count is based primarily on Cassie's allegations. Cassie testified to physical abuse (force/violence), emotional manipulation and threats (fraud/coercion), and her involvement in sexual events under duress.
The second count is based on Jane's testimony. Jane testified to an argument with Diddy that led to him beating her, including putting her in a chokehold, punching her in the head, kicking her repeatedly as she lay in the fetal position, and then forcing her to take ecstasy, put on lingerie, and have sex with a male escort. That sequence: assault and then forced sexual activity, is a textbook example of sex trafficking by force. The drugging, manipulation, and financial threats that she testified to are the fraud/coercion elements of the sex trafficking charge.
Diddy is also charged with two counts of transportation for prostitution; these are both based on Cassie and Jane. Diddy arranged and funded travel for Cassie and Jane with the intent that they engage in sexual acts.
Then there is the RICO charge. It uses the other charges to help prove a larger criminal enterprise existed, but each of those charges can stand on its own. Specific to the RICO charge was Kid Cudi's testimony (arson and exortion), Eddie Garcia, the hotel security guard that diddy paid to have the tape of him beating Cassie (bribery and obstruction of justice), and then both Cassie and Jane (sex trafficking and forced prostitution).
I hope this helps explain the charges. The prosecution investigated Diddy for over a year before bringing these charges; they believe they have the evidence to prove each of them. So far, they have been doing a really good job. But Diddy has great lawyers, so we will see what happens once his team gets a chance to call witnesses.
