Sean "Diddy" Combs' attorneys have requested a two-month delay in his May 5 sex-trafficking trial to adequately prepare his defense. They argue that the prosecution has been slow in providing essential evidence, complicating their readiness for trial. Combs has been held without bail since September and has pleaded not guilty to multiple charges spanning two decades. Prosecutors assert that Combs used his influence to exploit women, seeking to have him tried for serious allegations connected to these indictments. A judicial hearing on this request is scheduled for Friday.
"We cannot, in good conscience, go to trial on the scheduled date. This is a problem that the government has created, yet it opposes our reasonable request."
"Prosecutors say Combs coerced and abused women for years as he used his power and prestige as a music star to enlist a network of victims."
