P Diddy's trial will take place in May 2025

On October 10, at the last hearing in the case of American rapper Sean "Diddy" Combs, the judge ruled that the trial will begin on May 5 next year. The rapper faces trial on charges of sex trafficking and racketeering.

P Diddy's family and children were present at the hearing. The rapper turned to them and said with his lips: “I love you,” and also repeatedly raised his hand to his heart and prayed. P Diddy and his lawyers continue to insist on the rapper’s innocence and call the investigators’ arguments “false and slanderous.”

Combs will be held at the Brooklyn Detention Facility until his trial begins. His lawyers previously applied for bail, but the judge rejected their request.

Earlier it became known that more than 100 women and men from all over America filed lawsuits against P. Diddy. They accuse him of sexualized violence and physical attacks. According to lawyer Tony Bazi, some of the victims were minors at the time of the crime. One of his clients was 9 years old when P. Diddy molested him.

The investigation against the American tycoon began after his ex-girlfriend Cassandra Ventura accused P Diddy of rape in December 2023. Her lawsuit was settled. However, within weeks, other women accused Combs of sexualized assault.

Police searched the rapper's home and found drugs, more than 1,000 bottles of baby oil allegedly used during orgies at his parties, and hidden surveillance cameras in the mansion.

According to law enforcement agencies, after the so-called White Party, where famous stars were invited, girls were persuaded to use drugs and then raped. Some victims required medical attention and IVs to recover after partying.
