Sean 'Diddy' Combs' sex trafficking trial set for May 5, 2025

SUMMARY

Sean Combs, the music mogul, faces trial in May on serious charges including racketeering, sex trafficking, and prostitution. He has been in federal detention for the past three weeks after his arrest at a New York hotel. At a recent court hearing, he was seen smiling and waving at family members.

His lawyers have accused federal agents of leaking evidence against him, which prosecutors denied. They assert that the leaked hotel surveillance video shows Combs engaging in violent acts against his former girlfriend. The trial is expected to last about a month, pending further investigations.
