Trial Sean “Diddy” combs Began in New York City on Monday, May 5, following his September 2024 arrest on charges of gender trading, racing conspiracy and transportation to participate in prostitution.
The process began with a jury selection on Monday, with opening arguments about to begin on Monday, May 12. Designy, 55, has pleaded not guilty to all accusations and denied the allegations against it.
The Music Mogula appeared in court as a jury selection began, wearing a sweater over a white collared shirt with gray pants, per Press. (Judge Arun Subramanian He previously said that Diddy could wear casual clothes throughout the cause rather than his prison uniform.)
Before Voir Dire (introductory juror examinations) began on Monday, Diddy rejected a plea deal, which could have shortened his potential prison sentence if he agreed to plead guilty. When the judge asked him on Thursday, May 1, if he refused the prosecution’s proposal, Diddy replied, “Yes, I do.”
Digy was arrested last year after several accusers came forward with allegations of sexual assault. In November 2023, his former love Cassie filed a legal proceedings against him, claiming he was sexually and physically mistrust during their relationship, which continued away and on between 2007 and 2018. Designy denied his claims, and the duo settled outside the court a day later.
In May 2024, CNN published a surveillance video of 2016 which showed Diddy kicks and grabs Cassie, now 28, in a hotel. The rapper later apologized in an Instagram video, saying, “My behavior on that video is unforgivable. I take full responsibility for my actions in that video.” I was disgusted then when I did it. I’m disgusted now. … I am not asking for forgiveness. I’m really sorry. “
In April, prosecutors filed a proposal saying that the person mentioned in the indictment Under the alias “Victim-1” would testify under its own name. Several outlets at the time reported that Cassie is “Victim-1”, but has not publicly confirmed her part in the trial.
