Sean Combs Faces New Allegations in Federal Case

Sean 'Diddy' Combs appeared in Manhattan federal court facing new allegations of sexual abuse, including sex trafficking and racketeering, involving three additional victims. Combs, who sported a significantly aged appearance with gray hair and a beard, pleaded not guilty to the charges, which now include forced labor and coercion. His trial has been postponed to May 12, with jury selection starting on April 28, due to scheduling conflicts and the complexity of the case. Combs' legal team is challenging the admissibility of a surveillance video allegedly showing him assaulting his ex-girlfriend, claiming it was altered. Despite the legal challenges, his family showed support during the hearing, and he remains in custody since his arrest in September 2024.
