US EditionJury selection delayed for sex trafficking trial of Sean 'Diddy' Combs
- A federal judge delayed the completion of jury selection for Sean 'Diddy' Combs' racketeering and sex trafficking case in Brooklyn until early next week.
- The delay followed a defense request granted by Judge Arun Subramanian to narrow the pool of 45 prospective jurors to 12 jurors and 6 alternates on Monday.
- Sean "Diddy" Combs, the 55-year-old founder of Bad Boy Records and hip-hop industry heavyweight, is facing multiple serious federal allegations—including involvement in organized crime, unlawful detention, setting fires, corruption, and exploitation of women—that allegedly occurred between 2004 and 2024.
- Evidence presented at trial includes a 2016 video showing Combs assaulting a longtime girlfriend, which was broadcast on CNN last year. Following the airing, Combs publicly acknowledged his wrongdoing and accepted full accountability for what occurred in that footage.
- If convicted on all charges, Combs faces a mandatory 15-year prison sentence, and opening arguments will start soon after the jury is finalized.
