Sean "Diddy" Combs is set to stand trial on May 5, 2025, in New York City, facing federal charges including sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation for prostitution. The indictment alleges that Combs orchestrated a criminal enterprise over two decades, exploiting his music and business ventures to facilitate coercive sexual encounters, often involving drugs and non-consensual acts. Prosecutors claim that Combs organized events known as "freak-offs," where women were allegedly manipulated into sexual activities with male sex workers, sometimes recorded without consent. A key piece of evidence is a 2016 surveillance video showing Combs assaulting his then-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, which the judge has ruled admissible in court. Ventura is expected to testify, along with other alleged victims. Combs has pleaded not guilty and remains in custody after multiple bail requests were denied due to concerns about potential witness tampering and flight risk.

The trial is anticipated to last approximately four weeks, with the prosecution presenting its case over three weeks and the defense expected to take one week. Combs' legal team, led by attorney Brian Steel, plans to argue that all encounters were consensual and part of a consensual lifestyle. However, the prosecution intends to introduce testimony from multiple accusers to establish a pattern of coercive behavior. The case has garnered significant public attention, with over 70 lawsuits filed against Combs by alleged victims. If convicted, Combs faces the possibility of a life sentence.
