Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs Will Not Testify in His Criminal Trial, Source Says

  • Sean 'Diddy' Combs faces federal sex trafficking, racketeering, and prostitution charges in a trial ongoing as of June 24, 2025, in Manhattan.
  • The case stems from allegations that Combs and his staff organized drug-fueled multiday 'freak off' sex events with multiple victims from 2012 through 2022, supported by extensive video and financial records.
  • Key witnesses include Jane, Combs' ex-girlfriend from 2021 until his September 2024 arrest, who testified across six days about coerced sexual encounters, including hotel nights spanning days and requests for condom use being denied.
  • The prosecution showed about 20 minutes of explicit footage of drug-fueled sex marathons and introduced receipts and texts evidencing Combs’ involvement; Combs has pleaded not guilty and denies the charges.
  • With prosecutors resting their case on June 24 and closing arguments tentatively set, the trial’s outcome could significantly affect Combs’ legal status and industry standing amid multiple civil suits alleging abuse.
