Diddy: A Trial About to Detonate Sean “Diddy” Combs wants decades of alleged sexual assault accusations erased from his criminal trial—and his lawyers are telling the court that if those claims are allowed in, the entire case is going to spiral out of control. According to newly filed motions in federal court, Combs' legal team is trying to block what they call "uncorroborated crimes" dating back to the 1980s. They argue this kind of evidence doesn’t just distract—it poisons the well. In their words, it would make it “impossible” for Combs to get a fair trial. But the government’s not backing down. Prosecutors fired back, saying those past allegations don’t just paint a pattern—they help prove the entire enterprise behind the charges Combs is actually facing. They’re calling the stories from alleged victims “direct evidence” of the racketeering operation, which includes everything from sex trafficking and prostitution to kidnapping and arson. According to them, this isn’t some series of unrelated claims—it’s all part of a criminal machine. Right now, Combs is staring down a hefty federal indictment. He was first arrested back in September 2024, charged with racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and transportation for prostitution. But things got heavier last week when a superseding indictment tacked on two more charges—another sex trafficking count and another for transportation to engage in prostitution. And while he’s pleaded not guilty to everything, the list of people accusing him of misconduct has ballooned. The real turning point came in late 2023 when his ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, filed a lawsuit claiming rape, trafficking, and physical abuse. She settled quickly, but the damage was done. Since then, at least 120 accusers have stepped forward, according to Texas attorney Tony Buzbee. Combs’ legal team says that if the court admits these decades of allegations, the trial will explode into a logistical nightmare—what they call “a series of mini-trials.” They’re predicting a delay of months or even years just to sort through the mess. The original trial was only expected to take three weeks. Now? Who knows. They’ve asked for a preliminary hearing to vet any past allegations before they hit the jury. And they’re also drawing a hard line between the charges in the indictment and the new allegations swirling around him. The indictment, they say, is about alleged coercion and abuse in personal relationships—not a sprawling criminal conspiracy that spans continents and unnamed witnesses. Their position? If the government wants to convict Combs, they need to do it with the charges they actually filed. Not just drown the jury in three decades of scandal and dirt, then hope it sticks. As the defense put it, “the government should not be permitted to pollute the trial… by painting Mr. Combs as a bad guy who must have committed the charged crimes.” The prosecution, on the other hand, is holding firm. They say this evidence isn’t just relevant—it’s critical. They argue it demonstrates exactly how Combs ran his alleged criminal network, detailing a pattern of what they call “persistent and pervasive abuse.” They’re not just trying to shock the jury—they’re trying to show a strategy. That he wasn’t confused or clumsy. He allegedly knew exactly what he was doing. They also say there’s no need for a preliminary hearing. The court already has detailed summaries of the victims’ stories and the evidence to back them up. According to the government, Combs’ request to review the evidence in advance is just a slick attempt to cross-examine victims twice before trial even begins. With opening arguments slated for May 5, this trial is gearing up to be an all-out war in the courtroom. One side wants to stick to the script. The other wants to tell the whole saga. #DiddyTrial #SexTraffickingCharges #FederalIndictment #RacketeeringCase Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

The Government vs. Diddy: The Five-Count Indictment Sean “Diddy” Combs is no longer just facing allegations — he’s facing five federal charges, with four accusers, and a mountain of legal trouble that keeps growing. The latest development? Federal prosecutors just hit him with two new charges, bringing the total to five, and they say the alleged trafficking didn't stop years ago — it was still happening last year. In this new superseding indictment, filed by a federal grand jury in Manhattan, prosecutors allege that Combs used force, fraud, or coercion to compel a woman — referred to only as “Victim-2” — into commercial sex acts from 2021 through 2024. And it wasn’t isolated. Prosecutors say Combs also arranged for her and others, including commercial sex workers, to travel for prostitution over that same time period. This builds on the original indictment from last September, which included charges of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking. According to the government, this wasn’t a man acting alone — this was an organized system. They say Combs used his money, power, and a circle of associates to coerce women into participating in drug-fueled sexual events he allegedly called “Freak Offs.” Think elite sex parties — but with allegedly non-consensual elements and, reportedly, drugs, threats, and cameras rolling. Prosecutors also claim the racketeering conspiracy dates back two decades now, starting in 2004, not 2008 as previously stated. They're accusing Combs of trafficking three different victims — and coercing a fourth, one of his own employees — into sexual activity. Out of the four women expected to testify, three are asking to remain anonymous at trial. The fourth, referred to as "Victim-1," is reportedly prepared to testify under her own name. That’s significant — it sends a message that at least one of these women is willing to stand in court and publicly accuse one of the most powerful figures in music of horrifying acts. And there’s more — Combs' past actions are under scrutiny again. The indictment references that infamous 2016 hotel surveillance footage — the one where Combs is seen hitting and kicking Cassie, his then-girlfriend, in a Los Angeles hallway. Prosecutors allege that assault happened during one of these “Freak Offs.” Combs’ legal team? They’re spinning it as a moment from a “complex but consensual relationship.” If it sounds like prosecutors are painting a pattern here, that’s because they are. From allegedly dangling a woman over a balcony, to blackmail, arson, and physical violence — they’re building a case that this wasn’t just misconduct, it was a systematic abuse of power stretching over decades. The January indictment alone mentioned that Combs once showed a gun during a kidnapping incident. And yet, Combs is sticking to his not guilty plea. His team is actively trying to get at least one charge thrown out — specifically, the one about allegedly flying a male escort across state lines to participate in sex acts with him and his partners. His attorney, Alexandra A.E. Shapiro, says the entire case hinges on the idea that this kind of consensual sex work somehow qualifies as a federal crime — and that’s what they’re pushing back against. As of now, Combs remains in custody at a federal jail in Brooklyn. His trial is scheduled to begin on May 5, with a final pretrial conference set for April 25, where he’s expected to be arraigned on the new charges. #Diddy #SexTraffickingCase #FederalIndictment #TrueCrime Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?
