US EditionOpening statements are expected in the Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs sex trafficking trial
- Sean 'Diddy' Combs faced a sex trafficking trial starting in May 2025 in Manhattan, charged with racketeering and related crimes spanning 20 years.
- The case followed a 2023 lawsuit by singer Casandra Ventura and several others alleging Combs coerced women into drug-fueled sexual encounters using violence and threats.
- Prosecutors presented video footage from 2016 showing Combs violently assaulting Ventura at a Los Angeles hotel and introduced witnesses describing abuse and coerced group sex.
- The 55-year-old music mogul has denied all five charges against him and faces a potential sentence ranging from 15 years to life if found guilty, while his defense team argues that the prosecution is exaggerating consensual adult interactions.
- The ongoing trial is expected to last eight to ten weeks and highlights allegations of abuse that contrast with Combs' public image as a music mogul.
