Sean "Diddy" Combs Trial: Prosecution Seeks Removal of Juror in Case

  • In June 2025, Sean "Diddy" Combs is standing trial in a Manhattan federal court, accused of multiple offenses including sex trafficking, a conspiracy related to racketeering, and the illegal transportation of individuals for prostitution.
  • The trial follows Combs' 2024 arrest and indictment, during which prosecutors presented evidence alleging that he used threats and drug-related tactics to pressure victims into taking part in multi-day sex parties known as "hotel nights."
  • Testimonies from Combs' ex-girlfriend under the pseudonym "Jane" describe a years-long allegedly abusive relationship involving coerced participation in sex acts, threats to stop paying rent, and coerced silence about videotaped incidents.
  • On June 11 and 13, prosecutors requested removal of a juror for a "lack of candor," while the defense accused them of a race-based effort to dismiss a Black juror; Judge Arun Subramanian has yet to rule on this motion.
  • The trial continues amid ongoing testimony and legal disputes, with potential decades of prison if convicted and parallels drawn by attorneys to other entertainers facing federal sex-crime charges.
