Prosecutors Drop some Charges in Diddy Case

  • Prosecutors informed a Washington, D.C. court they will no longer pursue attempted arson and kidnapping charges against Sean "Diddy" Combs in his ongoing federal trial.
  • This change follows prosecutors resting their case after calling 34 witnesses and recognizing weak evidence on these counts amid racketeering and sex trafficking allegations.
  • Combs, accused of sex trafficking related to former girlfriends including Cassie Ventura and a woman called Jane, chose not to testify while his defense rested without calling witnesses.
  • Defense lawyer Alexandra Shapiro argued the government showed "thin proof" of employee participation and no evidence they believed Combs was sex trafficking, while prosecutors plan closing arguments starting Thursday.
  • With predicate offenses dropped, the trial now focuses on racketeering and transportation for prostitution, suggesting a streamlined case that maintains serious charges but omits prior key claims.
