Sean "Diddy" Combs is on trial in Manhattan federal court for sex trafficking, presenting a case that has drawn significant public attention. As jury selection begins, Combs expressed nervousness over the proceedings, which could see him judged by twelve New Yorkers. The charges against him include heading a racketeering conspiracy that allegedly coerced women, including singer Cassie, into drug-fueled sexual encounters. The prosecution claims he employed violent tactics, recording exploitative acts to use for manipulation and ensuring compliance from his victims.
Combs, 55, ditched his drab jail duds for a blue sweater over a white button-down shirt as he sat at the defense table observing the jury selection process.
Twelve New Yorkers will ultimately decide whether the famously flashy multimillionaire is guilty of leading his Bad Boy Records company as a depraved 'criminal enterprise' for decades.
Combs is accused of helming a racketeering conspiracy that coerced women - including his ex-girlfriend, the singer Cassie - into days-long, drug-fueled sex benders.
The feds say Combs forced his lovers to have sex with male prostitutes while he watched, and filmed the escapades to use as leverage.
