Diddy’s Lawyers Seek 2025 Trial Date Amidst Sex Trafficking Case

In the latest developments surrounding the legal case of Sean "Diddy" Combs involving allegations of sex trafficking and racketeering, the music mogul’s legal team has expressed a determination to set a trial date. Diddy‘s lawyers aim for proceedings to begin in April or May 2025 while also addressing concerns over unauthorized leaks of grand jury information.

According to court documents, the volume of discovery material in the case is considerable, encompassing several terabytes of data from electronic devices such as cellphones, laptops, tablets, and cloud accounts. The government has acknowledged this substantial amount but noted ongoing coordination with the defense team.

Diddy’s legal representatives have reiterated his right to a speedy trial, demanding immediate access to electronic devices seized by the government six months prior. “The timely production of these materials is critical to Diddy’s ability to prepare his defense,” stated Diddy’s lawyers, emphasizing that delays should not be caused by any government review for responsiveness or privilege.

The government has reportedly committed to providing these devices within the next 30 days, a timeline Diddy’s lawyers find crucial for maintaining the trial schedule. Additionally, Diddy intends to file motions related to the leaks of grand jury information, which his legal team perceives as unauthorized and prejudicial.

The defense has urged a set deadline for pretrial motions, indicating comprehensive preparations for a trial aiming to start by mid-2025. “Mr. Combs continues to assert his right to a speedy trial,” Diddy’s lawyers reiterated, maintaining pressure on the judicial process.
