Diddy Rejects Plea Deal in Sex Trafficking Trial, Judge Allows Assault Footage

Sean 'Diddy' Combs has rejected a plea deal offered by federal prosecutors in his racketeering and sex trafficking case, with the terms of the deal remaining undisclosed. During a recent court hearing, Judge Arun Subramanian ruled that security footage showing Combs assaulting his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura in 2016 will be admissible as evidence, despite objections from Combs' legal team who argued the video was altered. Combs has publicly apologized for his actions depicted in the video, acknowledging responsibility and expressing remorse. The prosecution is also seeking to introduce expert testimony on victim dynamics to provide context for the alleged victims' continued association with Combs. The trial is set to begin in early May, with Ventura expected to testify under her own name. If convicted on all charges, Combs faces the possibility of life in prison.
