The Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs Experiments will take place with a jury selection

The jury’s choice starts Monday Sex Trading Court From Sean “Diddy” Combs, starting the first courtroom test whether one of the most important hip-hop figures uses the strength and wealth collected in the music, clothing and spirit industries to sexual harassment, force and exploit the alleged victims for decades.

Known by various names for many years-Puffy, Puff Daddy, P. Diddy, Diddy and Love-Combs became Rap Impresario in the 1990s, launched Mary J. Blige’s career, Usher and the famous and gave hip-hop trust to Mariah Carey and Jennifer Lopez.

Combs, who once declared himself “naughty boy for life,” now faces what can be a life sentence if punished. Federal prosecutors in New York accuse that he “harassing, threatening, and forcing women to” a prolonged sexual party and drug-fueled with male prostitutes he called “strange” and threatened them to be silent.

“Once strange, the comb and victims usually receive IV liquid to recover from physical activity and drug use,” said the indictment.

He has claimed to be innocent for the conspiracy of governing, sex trade and transportation to be involved in prostitution accusations – five accusations all. The applicant’s lawyer said all his sexual meetings were consensual and had described a comb as a swinger who invited a third party to his room.

At the hearing last month, Agnifilo seemed to be reviewing the defense strategy, telling the judge, “There is a lifestyle, calling it Swinger, that he is in because he thinks it is right. The reason he thinks is right because it is very common.”

Coincidentally, the selection of judges began on the same day as the Met Gala, where Combs had been an equipment.

Prospective judges began to answer the written question last week to test what they might hear about this case, whether they could be fair and whether they could survive in the two -month trial which was expected to display sexual explicit evidence.

Evidence including recording of supervision, broadcast first by CNN in May 2024, which shows a striking comb, kicking and dragging Cassie Ventura’s girlfriend at a Los Angeles hotel in March 2016. Venture Civil Lawsuit submitted in 2023.

Combs apologized for the video at that time, saying, “I reached the lowest point – but I did not make a reason. My behavior in the video was unforgivable. I am fully responsible for my actions in the video.”

Ventura is a anticipated witness, along with three alleged victims who have not been identified, two of them were given permission to testify under the pseudonym.

Prosecutors are also expected to introduce items confiscated when federal agents from the Investigation of Domestic Security raided Combs houses in Los Angeles and Miami, including more than a dozen electronic devices and AR-15 style rifles with damaged serial numbers.

A few days before the trial, the Federal Prosecutor offered Combs opportunities to claim to be guilty and avoid himself the possibility of a prolonged prison sentence. Asked if he refused the offer, Combs answered, “Yes, I respect you.”

He has appeared in court wearing a tedious Beige prison clothes, but the jury will see it in ordinary dresses. His family members, including his mother, were expected to attend.

His defense teams include Marc Agnifilo and Teny Geragos. They represent the founder of NXIVM Keith Raniere who was punished for a conspiracy of extortion and sex trade, the same accusation facing a comb.

The defense team also included Brian Steel, who represented Rapper Young Thug in the extortion test in Atlanta, and Alexandra Shapiro, the leading appeal litigator who also represented Sam Bankman-Fried.

The prosecution team, all women including Maureen Comey, who succeeded in demanding Ghislaine Maxwell for sex trade, and Emily Johnson, Mitzi Steiner and Madison Smyser, who had demanded violent crimes, and prosecutors Geng Christy Slavik.
