US EditionDid federal prosecutors prove their case against Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs? Legal experts weigh in
- On June 26, in Manhattan federal court, closing arguments began with prosecutor Jessica Slavik describing Combs as the head of a criminal organization.
- Prosecutors allege that since the September indictment, Combs faces charges of sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, and transporting women for prostitution, claiming he used an 'inner circle' to facilitate abuse.
- Prosecutors called over 30 witnesses and presented photographs of bruises and gashes on Ventura’s body, evidencing physical abuse and supporting their case.
- Without calling witnesses, the defense rested in 30 minutes, and Combs chose not to testify, leaving the case's outcome uncertain.
- Legal experts emphasize that conviction remains uncertain due to significant reasonable doubt on the racketeering and sex trafficking charges.
