Sean “Diddy” Comink declared himself innocent of an amended accusation that includes new accusations of forced labor.
The replacement accusation claims that the rap tycoon forced employees to work long hours under threat of physical and reputational damage and forced at least one worker to participate in sexual acts with him.
Mr. combs’ lawyers have denied that the rap magnate has forced someone to sexual acts and that the case revolves around consensual relationships with their girlfriends, reports the New York Times.
His lawyers have also “vehemently” denied “all the accusations made against him in the federal case and dozens of civil lawsuits that have appeared against him in recent months.
“Wait your day in court when it is clear that you have never forced anyone to participate in sexual acts against their will,” said his lawyer Marc Agnifilo.
The most successful rappers in the United States are expected to be tried in a federal case of sexual trafficking and extortion.
The new detailed accusations in the amended accusation are under the office of extortion.
Separately, Mr. combs faces dozens of demands that accuse him of rape and assault. His lawyers have dismissed demands as “clear attempts to obtain advertising.”
Mr. Combs was taken to a court room with wooden panels on Friday in the Federal Court of the Southern District of New York with a greenish -colored prison monkey, with covered gray hair and beard.
He chose to stand when he entered his statement of non -guilty. When a judge asked him if he had seen and read the accusation, he replied: “Yes, I have sir.”
Behind him, in public banks, his son Christian, his daughter Chance, his mother Janice Combs, with large sunglasses and his friend Marvet Britto (publicist) came to support him, along with two other men who described themselves as part of the “support system” of the family.
Comps was smiling in court, greeting and blowing kisses to his family and hugging his lawyers.
In addition to the new accusations, there was also a lot of discussion in the Court between the Prosecutor’s Office and the Defense Lawyers about A video posted by CNN last year It seems that it shows Images of CCTV of Mr. Combs kicking his ex -girlfriend, Cassandra Ventura, on the floor of a hotel aisle in 2016.
Mr. Comong’s lawyers repeated their claims that the video was “misleading” and that a visual expert had discovered that parts of the video were taken out of service, accelerated actions and covered time marks.
Prosecutors, on the other hand, described him as “criticism” and “direct evidence” of his case that will present as an exhibition in the trial. The judge urged them to achieve a commitment.
CNN and a lawyer from Mrs. Ventura have denied what Mr. Combs’ lawyers said about the video.
After the video was launched in 2024, Mr. Comink apologized for his behavior, saying: “I hold myself for my actions in that video. I was disgusted then when I did. Now I am disgusted.”
On Friday, the judge said that the jury selection began on May 5 and opening statements on May 12.
