Sean 'Diddy' Combs' trial for sex trafficking will take place in early May as scheduled. Judge Arun Subramanian confirmed that the hip-hop mogul's trial will begin on May 5 and is projected to last between eight and ten weeks.
During the hearing on April 18, Judge Subramanian mentioned that the defense has sufficient time to prepare for the trial next month and stated that he will not allow delays in the case of Sean 'Diddy' Combs to seek evidence. He also rejected the defense's request to dismiss several charges brought against Combs.
Sean 'Diddy' Combs' lawyers requested a federal judge in New York to postpone the sex trafficking trial for two more months, arguing the need for more time to gather information about trial witnesses and deal with late actions surrounding the charges against their client. Combs' legal team expressed that prosecutors have been slow in delivering potential evidence, making their preparation difficult in three weeks.
Some evidence still not delivered in the P. 'Diddy' case involves materials related to charges that could carry a mandatory minimum sentence of 15 years in prison. The defense stated that they cannot go to trial on the set date due to this government-created issue and oppose this situation.
Prosecutors accuse Sean Combs of sexual abuse toward several women over the years, while allegedly using his position as a music star to recruit associates and employees to help him silence the victims through coercion and violence. Sean 'Diddy' Combs has pleaded not guilty to the multiple charges against him, which, according to prosecutors, occurred over a period of two decades.
