The trial date for Sean “Diddy” Combs’ sex trafficking case has been set.
Diddy trial is slated to begin May 5th, 2023… the dame date as the Met Gala.
Last month, Diddy was arrested and indicted on charges of racketeering, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution.
He denies all of the allegations against him but has been denied bail twice for fear of him fleeing the country or trying to intimidate witnesses.
Prosecutors allege that Diddy drugged and coerced his alleged victims into taking part in “freak offs,” alongside male sex workers.
Diddy’s attorneys have accused the feds this week of leaking the tape showing him savagely beating his ex-girlfriend, Cassie.
“The leaks have led to harmful and highly biased media coverage, particularly sensationalizing the investigation and the involvement of Mr. Combs’ family,” the attorneys stated in the filing.
Prosecutors responded, denying the claim.
“The Government was not in possession of the video before its publication by CNN,” prosecutors wrote. “Indeed, at the time of CNN’s publication, the Government did not possess any video of the March 2016 incident.”
