Sean Combs, known as Diddy, appeared in federal court on Wednesday to face charges of racketeering, sex trafficking, and transportation for prostitution. Prosecutors stated their investigation is ongoing but couldn't confirm if a superseding indictment will be filed. Combs' next court appearance is scheduled for March 17th.
Sean “Diddy” Combs appeared in federal court Wednesday as he faces charges of racketeering, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution.
Prosecutors in the case said that their investigation into Combs is still ongoing, but when asked by Judge Arun Subramanian, said they could not say more on whether they would be filing a superseding indictment. Combs is due to appear in court next on March 17 for a status hearing.
Dressed in a tan prison uniform, Combs walked into the courtroom Wednesday and scanned the gallery. He later motioned to his sons, Christian and Justin Combs, and mouthed asking if they were OK. They both gave thumbs up.Combs has been at the helm of a vast criminal enterprise through which he assaulted and trafficked women with the help of his various businesses from at least 2008.
Part of the claims of violence in denying bail, and the charges within the indictment, stem from a 2016 video that appears to show Combs assaulting his then-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, at a Los Angeles hotel. Combs requested an evidentiary hearing on claims that the government had leaked that video to the media in order to harm his reputation, but Judge Subramanian denied the request Monday saying there was not sufficient evidence for his claims.
