Closing arguments begin in Sean Diddy' Combs sex-trafficking trial
Briefly

In the federal sex-trafficking trial of Sean Diddy Combs, closing arguments commenced on Thursday, marking the trial's conclusion. Prosecutors claim that Combs led a criminal operation for over two decades involving sex trafficking and abusing women through violence and coercion. They presented extensive testimony from 34 witnesses, including Combs's former girlfriends and law enforcement. While Combs maintains his innocence and did not testify, his legal team rested without calling witnesses, arguing all sexual encounters were consensual. His potential conviction could result in a life sentence in prison.
Federal prosecutors allege that Combs led a sprawling criminal enterprise over two decades, engaging in crimes including sex trafficking, and coercing women into drug-fueled sex marathons.
Combs's lawyers have argued that all sexual activity was consensual and part of a swingers lifestyle, acknowledging past incidents of domestic violence but denying any criminal action.
