Sean 'Diddy' Combs Faces Federal Sex Trafficking Trial in New York Amid Mounting Allegations

In a high-profile case drawing national attention, music mogul Sean 'Diddy' Combs is set to stand trial in New York on May 5, 2025, facing federal charges including racketeering, sex trafficking, and forced prostitution. The charges stem from allegations that Combs operated a criminal enterprise over two decades, coercing women into non-consensual sexual acts and exploiting his influence to silence victims.

Combs has pleaded not guilty to all charges and remains in custody at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center. His legal team recently sought a two-month delay to prepare for the expanded indictment, which now includes five criminal counts involving a second alleged victim. However, U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian denied the request, emphasizing the need for a prompt trial.

The prosecution's case includes testimonies from multiple women, including Combs' former partner, Cassie Ventura, who has publicly accused him of abuse and sex trafficking. Combs' attorneys have filed motions to exclude certain allegations from the trial, arguing they are prejudicial and not directly related to the charges.
