NEW YORK -- A judge in New York has set a May 2025 trial date for rapper Sean 'Diddy' Combs , who was arrested for sex trafficking, racketeering and conspiracy. According to the indictment, Combs allegedly abused women for years as associates and employees kept quiet and allegedly helped. Victims were allegedly blackmailed or silenced through violence. Combs , 54, entered court Thursday dressed in a wrinkled tan shirt and matching pants.
Combs' attorneys filed a motion for an evidentiary hearing alleging the government, mostly the Department of Homeland Security, leaked information and material, including the 2016 hotel surveillance video showing Combs attacking his former girlfriend, singer Cassie, which aired on CNN. Defense attorneys want the video out of evidence, saying leaks prevented him from 'getting fair consideration' by the grand jury and that they tainted the jury pool.
