Sean Combs Faces Trial Over Sex Trafficking, Drug Allegations in New York

Sean “Diddy” Combs is currently on trial facing serious charges including sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy. Testimonies from former associates like Dawn Richard have depicted a violent and toxic environment, with allegations that Combs physically abused his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura and threatened others, including Richard herself. Richard also testified that Combs carried a Louis Vuitton bag stocked with illegal drugs such as cocaine, ecstasy, marijuana, ketamine, and emergency contraception, supplied by a dealer known as One-Stop. Evidence was presented including the discovery of a similar bag containing Klonopin during a hotel raid in 2024. Combs’ defense has challenged the credibility of witnesses, highlighting inconsistencies and questioning their motivations, while Combs denies all allegations. Meanwhile, the presiding judge is considering whether to exclude some witness testimony, which could impact the trial's outcome.
