Accusations and New Indictment
Sean “Diddy” Combs is facing serious new allegations, as prosecutors accuse him of sex trafficking at least three women. A superseding indictment filed on January 30, 2025, adds two new victims to the original charges, which were initially filed in September 2024. The updated indictment doesn’t introduce new charges but does extend the timeframe for his racketeering charge to cover actions from 2004 to 2008. In addition to the trafficking accusations, the indictment revisits a claim made in a November 2024 lawsuit, where designer Bryana Balgona accused Diddy of dangling a woman over a balcony.
Diddy’s Defense and Legal Response
Diddy, who has been incarcerated in Brooklyn since September 2024, maintains his innocence. His attorney, Marc Agnifilo, firmly denied the new allegations following the indictment’s release. Agnifilo argued that the prosecution’s theory is flawed, particularly the assertion that two of Diddy’s former girlfriends were not in relationships with him but were instead prostitutes. In his statement to Vulture, Agnifilo stressed that no new offenses were introduced in the latest indictment and emphasized Diddy’s commitment to fighting the charges and clearing his name.
Trial Schedule and Future Outlook
Despite the added allegations, prosecutors indicated that they do not expect the updated indictment to alter the trial schedule. The case is still set to go to trial in May 2025. Diddy’s legal team is preparing to contest the charges, and the outcome of the upcoming trial will be critical for both his career and reputation. The case continues to develop, and more details are likely to emerge as the trial approaches.
