Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ sex trafficking trial to begin May 2025

The trial of Sean “Diddy” Combs on sex trafficking charges is scheduled to begin May 5, 2025, Topnaija.ng reports.

Recall that on September 16, Sean “Diddy” Combs was arrested on suspicions of racketeering and sex trafficking.

Robyn Tarnofsky, a US magistrate judge, ordered the rapper’s detention pending his trial.

Tarnofsky issued his decision after the founder of Bad Boy Records pleaded not guilty to a 14-page federal complaint against him.

In addition, Diddy was accused of sexually abusing 120 other persons, including a 9-year-old boy.

Allegations have been building against the Grammy winner since last year, when singer Cassie, whose real name is Casandra Ventura, alleged Combs subjected her to more than a decade of coercion by physical force and drugs as well as a 2018 rape.

A spate of similarly lurid civil lawsuits since have painted a picture of Combs as a violent man who used his celebrity status to prey on women.

And in a bombastic announcement, lawyers said more than 100 people who say Combs assaulted or exploited them — some of them children — were planning more legal action.

The explosion of allegations against him has highlighted a culture in the music industry that many people contend allows for a wider pattern of rampant sexual misconduct.
