Diddy Turns Down Last-Minute Plea Deal in Federal Sex Trafficking Case

A jury has been seated in Sean “Diddy” Combs’ sex-trafficking trial.

Prosecutors delivered their opening statements, followed by witness testimony. Still unclear is whether “Victim 3” will testify. A prosecutor said last week that both the witness and her attorney were missing.

“Victim 1,” Cassie Ventura, will be the prosecution’s third witness. Combs’ team may try to counter her testimony by portraying her as confrontational and violent—someone with a personality too strong to be coerced.

Combs’ lawyer said Tuesday, March 26, 2024, that the searches of his Los Angeles and Miami properties by federal authorities in a sex-trafficking investigation were ”a gross use of military-level force” and that Combs is “innocent and will continue to fight” to clear his name.
