Federal prosecutors accused Diddy of organizing “extortions,” described in the indictment as highly orchestrated sexual performances. He was also accused of coercing or forcing women to engage in sexual acts with male sex workers. However, he pleaded not guilty to all charges and his lawyers repeatedly maintained his innocence.
Since his arrest and detention, Diddy has been denied bail three times. The judges were unwilling to release him before trial because they feared he might tamper with witnesses, which meant he could not be trusted if he regained his freedom. The Bad Boy Records founder’s trial is scheduled to begin on May 5, 2025.
