NEW YORK (Reuters) -Sean “Diddy” Combs will stand trial on federal sex trafficking and racketeering charges starting on May 5, 2025, a U.S. judge said on Thursday during the hip-hop mogul’s third court appearance since his September arrest.
Combs, 54, pleaded not guilty on Sept. 17 to a three-count indictment charging him with using his business empire – including legendary record label Bad Boy Entertainment – to transport women and male sex workers across state lines to take part in recorded sexual performances called “Freak Offs.”
U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian set the trial date at a hearing in Manhattan federal court.
Prosecutor Emily Johnson told the court the government’s case would last at least three weeks. Combs’ case will last around one week, defense lawyer Marc Agnifilo said.
