Sean 'Diddy' Combs Seeks Gag Order in Sex Trafficking Case

Combs' legal team argues that media coverage and witness statements are jeopardizing his right to a fair trial.

Sean Combs, facing charges of racketeering and sex trafficking, has requested a gag order to limit witness statements to the media.
Combs' attorneys claim that recent interviews by a witness, Courtney Burgess, have spread false information and prejudiced the case.
Burgess alleges possession of videos showing Combs in compromising situations, which Combs' legal team denies exist.
Prosecutors oppose the gag order, arguing it could silence accusers outside the criminal case who are pursuing civil litigation.
Combs, who remains in custody, has pleaded not guilty, with his trial scheduled for May 2025.
