The sex trafficking trial of Sean 'Diddy' Combs is moving forward with jury selection concluded on Friday. Judge Arun Subramanian extended the selection process, allowing lawyers more time to finalize the jury from a pool of 45 candidates. Combs faces serious charges, including racketeering and sex trafficking, for allegedly exploiting his status to force young women into sexual exploitation. He pleaded not guilty and remains jailed without bail as the trial, expected to last two months, begins with opening statements on Monday. Defense argues prosecution mischaracterizes consensual activities as criminal.
Prosecutors allege that Sean Combs utilized his power in the music industry to coerce women into abusive sexual situations, including drugged orgies filmed by him.
Defense lawyers argue that the case is an overreach, claiming prosecutors are attempting to regulate consensual sexual encounters rather than addressing criminal behavior.
