Sean "Diddy" Combs sex trafficking trial set for May 2025

NEW YORK -- Rapper Sean "Diddy" Combs, who was arrested for sex trafficking, racketeering and conspiracy, was given a May 2025 trial date by a judge in New York. 

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. He seemed more upbeat, smiling and waving to his mother and children in the gallery.
