Judge denies Sean 'Diddy' Combs' request to delay May 5 trial
Briefly

Sean 'Diddy' Combs' sex trafficking trial is set to begin on May 5, despite his legal team's request for a two-month delay to prepare more thoroughly. The judge, noting Combs' legal team consists of at least four attorneys, emphasized that they had enough time to prepare and dismissed concerns about potential evidence gathering as a 'fishing expedition.' Accusations against Combs include coercion and abuse of women over two decades, leveraging his celebrity status for criminal activity, which the defense contests as mischaracterizing consensual relationships.
"Judge Arun Subramanian denied the request for a two-month delay in the sex trafficking trial of Sean 'Diddy' Combs, affirming the trial will commence on May 5."
"Prosecutors allege Sean Combs exploited his celebrity to coerce and abuse women, facing serious charges including kidnapping, arson, and violence."
