US EditionJudge rejects claim that 'Diddy' was treated differently because of his race
- A judge rejected a claim that Sean 'Diddy' Combs was treated differently due to his race three days before his racketeering and sex trafficking trial began in Manhattan federal court, May 2025.
- The ruling followed defense allegations of discriminatory prosecution, but Judge Arun Subramanian found no evidence of racial bias in Combs's treatment or the government's actions.
- Combs, 55, faces multiple serious felony charges including involvement in organized crime, unlawful detention, deliberate property destruction, corruption, and exploitation related to sexual offenses. Prosecutors claim that he leveraged his celebrity status between 2004 and 2024 to mistreat and abuse women.
- The indictment details 'Freak Offs,' drugged orgies where women were forced to have sex, and depicts Combs as abusive, with video evidence aired on CNN showing him beating a longtime girlfriend.
- The case proceeds with jury selection completing before opening statements, and if convicted on all charges, Combs faces a mandatory minimum of 15 years in prison.
