Sean "Diddy" Combs has been convicted on two federal counts of transporting individuals for prostitution, stemming from a high-profile trial that concluded on July 2, 2025. The jury acquitted him of more severe charges, including sex trafficking and racketeering. Despite the convictions, Combs faces a maximum sentence of 20 years, though he is expected to serve a reduced term of 15–21 months, with nearly 10 months already served. He remains incarcerated at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, pending sentencing scheduled for October 3, 2025


Beyond the criminal case, Combs is confronting over 60 civil lawsuits alleging sexual misconduct, harassment, and abuse dating back to the early 1990s. The claims involve both men and women and include accusations of drugging, coercion, and physical intimidation during parties and business engagements. Notably, Liza Gardner accuses Combs and Aaron Hall of sexually assaulting her in 1990 when she was 16, while fashion designer Bryana "Bana" Bongolan alleges he assaulted her and nearly pushed her off a 17th-floor balcony in 2016. Combs has denied all allegations, labeling them false and financially motivated, and his legal team is actively contesting the lawsuits.

Sean "Diddy" Combs caught a break in criminal court, but the civil cases linger

In a letter to Judge Arun Subramanian, the Government opposed Sean "Diddy" Combs’s request to bar witnesses from speaking with their attorneys during breaks in cross-examination. Prosecutors argued that the defense provided no legal precedent supporting such a prohibition, especially regarding third-party witnesses with independent counsel. The Government noted that the defense’s reliance on Perry v. Leeke was misplaced, as that Supreme Court decision focused specifically on a testifying defendant’s communication with their attorney during a brief recess—not third-party witnesses.

The letter emphasized that the Supreme Court, in Perry, actually underscored the constitutional limits of such communication bans, particularly that overnight restrictions would violate the Sixth Amendment. The Government also cited United States v. Triumph Capital Group, a Second Circuit case, to highlight that brief, mid-day limitations on defendant-attorney discussions may be permissible, but broader restrictions—especially those impacting non-party witnesses—pose serious constitutional concerns. Ultimately, the Government asked the court to reject the defense’s request and preserve witnesses' rights to consult with counsel during trial breaks.

In a response letter addressed to Judge Arun Subramanian, the defense team representing Sean "Diddy" Combs reiterated their objection to witnesses consulting with attorneys during breaks in cross-examination. Referencing the government’s and Cassie Ventura’s legal counsel’s previous filings, the defense argued that the reasoning laid out in Perry v. Leeke, 488 U.S. 272 (1989), supports their position. They claimed that the risks of witness coaching or testimony manipulation identified by the Supreme Court in Perry are not only relevant but even more pronounced in the present case due to the high-profile nature and complexity of the allegations.

The defense maintained that to preserve the integrity of the proceedings and ensure the truthfulness of testimony, the court should bar all witnesses from communicating with any third parties—including their own lawyers—while they remain under cross-examination. They argued that even brief consultations during recesses could compromise the adversarial process and allow for improper influence or coordinated narrative adjustments. Accordingly, the defense asked the court to issue a clear order prohibiting such communications for the duration of a witness's cross-examination.

The first week of Sean "Diddy" Combs' federal sex trafficking and racketeering trial in New York featured emotionally charged testimony from his former partner, singer Cassie Ventura. Over four days, Ventura detailed an 11-year relationship marked by coercion, physical abuse, and manipulation. She described being forced into drug-fueled "freak-offs"—group sex encounters with paid escorts—often filmed and allegedly used by Combs for blackmail. A 2016 hotel surveillance video showing Combs assaulting Ventura was presented as evidence. Ventura also recounted an incident where Combs allegedly threatened to suspend someone over a balcony, illustrating a pattern of intimidation and control.

The defense acknowledged Combs' history of violence and substance abuse but argued that these actions did not constitute sex trafficking. They portrayed the events as part of a consensual lifestyle, aiming to separate personal misconduct from criminal enterprise. Additional testimony from singer Dawn Richard supported Ventura's claims, recalling a 2009 incident where Combs allegedly assaulted Ventura over a domestic dispute. The prosecution contends that Combs operated a criminal network involving staff who facilitated the alleged abuses. The trial, expected to last several more weeks, continues to draw significant public attention.

In October 2024, Sean "Diddy" Combs' legal team filed a motion requesting the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit to hold his bail appeal in abeyance. This request aimed to pause the appellate proceedings to allow the district court to consider a renewed bail application based on new information.


Prosecutors opposed this motion, arguing that it was a tactic to delay the appellate process and potentially "forum shop" due to the assignment of a new district judge. They contended that the appeal should proceed without delay.

In this episode, we take a look at the back and forth.

​Sean "Diddy" Combs has made a significant change to his legal team by bringing in renowned defense attorney Mark Geragos to take a leading role in his upcoming trial. Geragos, known for representing high-profile clients such as Michael Jackson, Chris Brown, and Hunter Biden, joins his daughter Teny Geragos, who is already part of Combs' defense team. This move comes after the resignation of attorney Anthony Ricco in March, leaving Marc Agnifilo as the primary counsel. The addition of Geragos suggests a strategic shift in Combs' defense as he prepares to face serious charges, including racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking, with the trial set to begin on May 5, 2025.

In a separate legal maneuver, Combs' attorneys have filed a subpoena seeking access to unaired footage and related materials from Warner Bros.' documentary series "The Fall of Diddy." The defense aims to obtain raw interviews, notes, and any compensation records involving two accusers featured in the series, identified as a former personal chef and an ex-girlfriend alleging misconduct. Warner Bros. has filed a motion to quash the subpoena, invoking journalist's privilege to protect unpublished materials and arguing that the request is overly broad and constitutes a "fishing expedition." The studio contends that the materials sought are likely inadmissible as hearsay and that Combs' legal team has not met the necessary burden to override these protections. The court has given Combs' attorneys until Thursday to respond to Warner Bros.' motion.

Recent developments in Sean "Diddy" Combs' legal case have taken a surprising turn. A male sex worker recently provided federal investigators with a video allegedly showing a sexual encounter involving himself, Diddy, and a woman. The encounter, which took place in May 2023, was reportedly filmed by Diddy. The male sex worker, who flew from Atlanta to Miami for the event, handed over the video after signing a proffer agreement with federal prosecutors. This agreement allows him to speak without fear of prosecution.

The video is part of an ongoing investigation into Diddy's alleged involvement in sex trafficking and racketeering. The male sex worker also provided details about the types of drugs Diddy allegedly used during what were referred to as "freak-offs"—Diddy's notorious group sex parties. Diddy, who was arrested earlier in September 2024, has pleaded not guilty to the charges and remains in custody at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. If convicted, he faces a potential life sentence.

Male 'sex worker' hands over alleged Diddy 'freak off' tape to prosecutors after meeting feds in NYC | Daily Mail Online

Dawn Richard, a former member of Sean "Diddy" Combs' music groups Danity Kane and Diddy - Dirty Money, has filed a lawsuit accusing Combs of sexual abuse and alleging that she witnessed him physically assaulting his then-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura. Richard's attorney, Lisa Bloom, stated that Richard was "absolutely terrified" of Combs, citing instances where he groped and physically assaulted her, withheld promised payments, and prevented her from eating and sleeping.

Combs, currently held in Brooklyn on sex trafficking and other charges, has denied these allegations, with his attorney dismissing Richard's claims as false. Bloom also mentioned representing another individual with similar accusations related to Combs' "freak-off" parties. Combs’ attorney refuted the claims, labeling them as fabrications made for financial gain.

Recent allegations have surfaced against Sean "Diddy" Combs, claiming he employed individuals to recruit young women for intimate encounters at his parties. At a 2004 White Party in the Hamptons, men allegedly approached female attendees, suggesting it was an honor to spend private time with Combs. One woman, identified as Lisa, recounted being propositioned but declined, perceiving the true nature of the request. Another attendee accepted and later regretted the experience.

These claims align with statements from former employee Phillip Pines, who alleges he was responsible for organizing and cleaning up after Combs's "Wild King Nights" between 2019 and 2021. Pines asserts he was tasked with procuring supplies for these events and is currently suing Combs for sexual battery, harassment, and trafficking. Combs faces multiple legal challenges, including criminal charges of racketeering and sex trafficking, which he denies.

The defendants in the case of Sara Rivers v. Sean Combs and others have submitted a memorandum of law supporting their motion to dismiss the complaint. This legal filing argues that the plaintiff's claims lack sufficient legal basis or fail to meet the necessary standards for the case to proceed. The defendants seek dismissal on grounds likely related to procedural or substantive deficiencies in the plaintiff’s allegations.

In this memorandum, the defendants outline the legal reasoning and precedents that justify the court dismissing the complaint against them. The document aims to persuade the judge that the plaintiff's claims should be rejected without going to trial, emphasizing the defendants’ position that the case does not warrant further litigation.
