Diddy Faces Sex Trafficking Trial With Guns, Drugs Seized in LA Mansion

The ongoing trial of Sean "Diddy" Combs has revealed significant evidence including weapons, drugs, and large quantities of baby oil seized from his Los Angeles mansion during a 2024 raid. Prosecutors allege these items relate to charges of sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, and the operation of a criminal enterprise, with testimony describing "freak-off" sex parties involving ketamine and other substances. Defense attorneys have countered by emphasizing the secure storage of firearms and asserting that Combs' activities were consensual, describing the bulk purchase of lubricants as ordinary. The trial has faced delays due to juror illness and court holidays, and concerns over a breach of the gag order have been raised. Additionally, testimony from Brendan Paul, Combs' former assistant, has connected Combs to former President Barack Obama, claiming Obama attended parties involving drugs, which has sparked renewed political controversy. These developments have intensified scrutiny of Combs’ associates and suggest an expanding narrative around accountability and political connections.
