Entertainment mogul is accused of using network of associates for sex trafficking and intimidation of victims.
A trial date has been set for May 5 in a sex trafficking case alleging that US entertainment mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs sexually abused and coerced women for years.
Members of the hip-hop icon’s family attended the hearing in a Manhattan federal court on Thursday, where Combs’s lawyers asked the judge to exclude a video of him assaulting a former girlfriend in 2016 from being used in the trial, saying it had been leaked by the government and could be prejudicial.
Assistant US Attorney Emily Johnson said those claims were “baseless and simply a means to try to exclude a damning piece of evidence”.
“Not a single one of those alleged leaks are from members of the prosecution team,” Johnson stated.
