Diddy Faces Sex Trafficking, Racketeering Trial with New Jury Evidence

During the ongoing sex trafficking and racketeering trial of Sean "Diddy" Combs, prosecutors have presented compelling evidence including disturbing financial records and text messages that allegedly link the rapper to illicit activities. Financial documents detailed lavish spending on luxury hotels, flights, and cash withdrawals tied to Diddy's corporate accounts, which prosecutors argue were used to fund a criminal enterprise involving sex trafficking. Text exchanges revealed conversations between Diddy, his staff, and a drug dealer called Guido regarding drug purchases and logistics of hotel parties termed "freak-offs." Testimony has included messages from Diddy's former chief of staff Kristina Khorram and others, discussing arrangements for escorts, cash payments, and drug acquisitions. The trial has also seen juror changes due to residency inconsistencies, reflecting ongoing court management challenges. These revelations collectively highlight the prosecution's case aiming to prove Diddy's central role in orchestrating and facilitating the alleged criminal network.
