Overview

• Federal prosecutors have added two new charges against Sean 'Diddy' Combs: sex trafficking and transportation for prostitution, increasing the total criminal charges to five.
• The latest allegations involve incidents between 2021 and 2024 and pertain to a person identified as 'Victim 2' in court documents.
• Combs, who has been in custody since September 2024 after multiple bail denials, continues to plead not guilty to all charges.
• The trial is scheduled to begin on May 12, 2025, with jury selection starting on May 5, as legal teams dispute evidence and accuser anonymity.
• The case builds on earlier accusations, including a 2023 lawsuit by Cassie Ventura that was settled out of court, and has sparked broader scrutiny of Combs’ legacy in the entertainment industry.
