Sean Combs' sex trade process pressed back; New criminal complaint hits Bad Boy Records founder

Sean “Diddy” Combs' process procedure for sex trade and more was pushed back until 12. May after a hearing on Friday before the Federal Court of New York.

The postponement of the original start date on May 5 was during a meeting for the replacement charges against forced labor against combs that the prosecutors made last week, and increased demands for extortion, sex trade and means of transport for prostitution.

More of the deadline

Combs, who have been in the case for every hearing since his arrest last autumn, said little during the hearing, but entered a “unclosed” plot base against the new indictment, just like the Grammy award winner Rapper and Bad Boy Records, who did founders for previous charges on this matter.

The 55-year-old defendant entered the court in the Khaki prison and with a hair head that has become surprisingly gray since his last court appearance. When Combs entered, Combs turned to the gallery and smiled family members and supporters. Before he entered his most recent plea, said judge Arun Subramanian as “Sir” and told him that he did not have to read the new indictment to him.

The rest of the hearing was occupied by schedules for the selection of the jury, the applications and the disclosure of evidence.

Resetting the opening arguments by a week was a confirmation from the judge that the process lawyers could take some of these problems additional time. Only a potential pool of hundreds of jury candidates should take to three days by the end of April, the judge said before the last committee of Voir is subject to the first few days in May.

Today's hearing lasted less than an hour before Subramanian and came to the American lawyers and defenders who fought over potential witnesses in Los Angeles last spring, who defeated the then long girlfriend Cassie Ventura in Los Angeles.

The public prosecutor's office in the middle of the southern district of New York announced that the Feds have another 20 potential witnesses – not yet identified – that are “incredibly frightened” if they have the thoughts that they have revealed their names for defense, since intimidation and fears of a possible violent retaliation from combs and employees have appeared in the event. But today Subramanian Steiner has instructed to hand over the IDS of the potential witnesses to defense to just lawyers next week.

In the revised indictment (here you read it) Combs has held the employees back on “forced labor”, including sex through intimidation, forced, salary, sleep deprivation and threats of shooting. The employees were brought to the assumption that “they would be violated – including the loss of their work – if they did not meet his demands,” the indictment said. “With regard to an employee, Combs used physical violence, psychological damage, financial damage and reputation damage and/or the threats of the same to initiate the employee to participate in sex files with COMBS.”

Combs is arrested in a lobby of a hotel in Manhattan and is in prison in prison if it is found guilty. The government claims that Combs and its adjutants had forced sexual encounters to marathon, who described as “freak-offs” with male and female prostitutes, drug use, violence and detention in the hotel rooms in which they were staged and recorded on video.

The prosecutors claim that Combs' Business Empire-Das has fallen for difficult times since the allegations against him at the end of 2023-and the “extortion company” at the center of their case against the rap hitmaker has been intertwined with Mogul. According to the indictment, the “Combs Enterprise” served two purposes: operated “a global company in the media, entertainment and lifestyle industry” and its CEOs, its deputies and employees, “to participate in illegal actions”, including sex trade and distribution.

Combs denied the indictment and said by his lawyers that all sexual encounters described in the indictment were mutually acceptable.

Months before he was charged for the first time, Combs tried to limit the damage of a attack videos broadcast by CNN in May in May. The film material from 2016 showed that combs his then girlfriend Cassie Ventura, who persisted the “victim 1” of the federation of the federal government-and her through a hallway from Los Angeles. Combs apologized two days after CNN radiated the hotel monitoring clip and said that he was “disgusted” by his behavior. After Ventura sued comments for abuse and assault in November 2023 and had reached a presumed agreement of over 30 million US dollars within 24 hours, the apology from May 2024 were contested by the singers' lawyers at that time.

Combs' lawyers who have almost been undermined this week since the beginning of the criminal proceedings are subject to 2016 that Combs accused the CNN this week to discuss the clip by editing and accelerating the film material to destroy the original video. “This includes covering the timeline and changing the video sequence,” wrote the lawyers and added that “the CNN videos do not present the events in question pretty much and precisely.”

A CNN spokesman refused on the same day that the cable newser changed or destroyed the video.

In addition to the criminal proceedings, Combs is accused of attacks, abuse, rape and more in more than 25 other cases, with more accusations and submissions of the week. The loss of one of his most important lawyers in criminal proceedings at the beginning of this year also sued Combs on February 12th Diddy: Making of an evil boy.
