YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThis month, the criminal trial of hip-hop mogul Sean Combs began in New York.
Federal prosecutors charged Combs with racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution. Combs, who has been in federal custody in Brooklyn since his arrest in September 2024, has pleaded not guilty to all charges. But if he is convicted, he could spend the rest of his life in prison.
Testimony from witnesses who have appeared on the stand so far -- including Combs' ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura -- have offered graphic, detailed accounts of drug-fueled sexual encounters. But what the prosecution has accused Combs of is broader than that. Here's what this trial is about, and what you can expect as it all plays out.
