Music mogul Sean 'Diddy' Combs pleaded not guilty after he was charged with racketeering, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution, according to a federal indictment unsealed on Tuesday. Combs has faced several lawsuits accusing him of sexual assault and misconduct in the past year. He has denied any wrongdoing.
Sean 'Diddy' Combs wants to go to trial on sex trafficking charges next spring, the embattled hip-hop mogul's lawyers informed a judge Wednesday. 'Mr. Combs continues to assert his right to a speedy trial and intends to request a trial date in April or May 2025, and as consistent with the Court’s trial schedule,' the jailed rapper's lawyers wrote.
The items already turned over to the defense team include a complete set of search warrants in the case; a phone belonging to Combs that was seized in March; and reports on his iCloud accounts. Combs' attorneys filed a bail appeal late Tuesday in New York's second circuit court. The filing came after Combs was denied bail twice by two separate judges following his arraignment. The musician is expected to appear in court Thursday for a hearing in his case, according to his attorneys.
