In a court hearing on Thursday, a federal judge announced that music mogul Sean Combs, also known as “Diddy,” is scheduled to stand trial for racketeering and sex trafficking on May 5, 2025.
Following his indictment last month on three criminal charges related to sexual abuse and coercion, Combs will continue to be held in custody.
Allegations suggest that he engaged in coercive behavior towards women, forcing them into drug-fueled sex parties through threats and violence.
Despite pleading not guilty to all charges, Combs has been denied bail twice due to concerns raised by prosecutors regarding witness tampering.
The courtroom scene depicted Combs in a light-colored wrinkled shirt and pants, exchanging greetings with his mother and children.
Ongoing investigation and potential charges
Prosecutor Emily Johnson emphasized the need to further explore evidence, citing the seizure of 96 electronic devices in March. The possibility of additional charges looms over the case, adding complexity to the legal proceedings.
Accusations against Combs have been mounting, with singer Cassie alleging a history of coercion and abuse spanning over a decade.
Civil lawsuits have portrayed Combs as a violent individual who allegedly exploited his celebrity status to target women.
Lawyers have revealed plans for over 100 individuals, including minors, to pursue legal action against Combs for alleged assault and exploitation.
This surge of accusations sheds light on broader issues within the music industry, raising concerns about a pervasive culture of sexual misconduct.
