Judge Allows New Sex Trafficking Evidence in Diddy Trial

A judge has ruled that prosecutors can introduce new sex trafficking evidence, including allegations from Diddy's so-called 'Freak Off' parties, in the upcoming criminal trial against Sean 'Diddy' Combs. However, the judge barred the prosecution from pursuing forced labor claims related to Diddy's employees, granting a partial win to the defense. Diddy's legal team argued that the new evidence was submitted too late for proper review, but prosecutors countered that he has had sufficient time to prepare and accused him of trying to delay the proceedings. Central to the prosecution's case is a surveillance video of Combs assaulting his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura, which will be shown at trial. The trial is set to begin next week, with Diddy maintaining his innocence and pleading not guilty to all charges. The defense remains frustrated by what they call a 'mountain of new allegations' introduced close to the trial date.
