US EditionDiddy trial faces setback as prosecutors struggle to reach witness
- Sean 'Diddy' Combs' federal trial in New York City faces a major setback as prosecutors cannot reach a key witness called Victim 3 expected to testify in May 2025.
- The prosecution struggles to contact Victim 3 or her lawyer due to her distant location and the lawyer's undisclosed personal issues, complicating an important testimony.
- Testimony from Victim 3, who was anticipated to describe instances of sexual exploitation by Combs, is crucial for establishing a consistent pattern of abuse in the 2024 charges, which include racketeering and sex trafficking.
- Prosecutors admit they may proceed without Victim 3 despite the disruption, while defense urges a clear plan for her testimony and the judge demands every effort to locate her.
- Without Victim 3's testimony, the prosecution faces a significant challenge though other witnesses, including Combs' former girlfriend Cassie Ventura, remain ready to testify.
