What is a summary of Diddy's trial?
Asked 7 days ago
Answer
Sean 'Diddy' Combs is on trial for racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and related offenses. Prosecutors allege he led a criminal enterprise that used violence, intimidation, and company resources to traffic women, including ex-girlfriends, through coercion and drug-fueled parties. The defense denies any criminal activity, arguing all acts were consensual and challenging witness credibility. The trial featured testimony from 34 government witnesses over six weeks, including ex-girlfriends and assistants. Some charges were dropped to streamline the case, but the main racketeering charge remains. Closing arguments have concluded, and the jury is set to deliberate.
