Diddy Requests April 2025 Trial Date

Sean 'Diddy' Combs is seeking a trial date in April or May 2025 as he faces serious sex trafficking charges, including allegations of physical and sexual abuse against women over several years. His legal team, in a joint letter with prosecutors, indicated their readiness for trial, although prosecutors have not specified a preferred date. Combs, who has been detained since his arrest on September 16, has pleaded not guilty and claims the charges are an attempt to criminalize consensual relationships. The indictment details a pattern of coercion and violence, allegedly supported by a network of associates. Additionally, Combs' defense is appealing previous bail denials, asserting that a $50 million bail package could secure his release. The case has drawn further attention due to multiple civil lawsuits against Combs, including one with disturbing allegations of sexual assault.
