The judge in Sean “Diddy” Combs’ sex-trafficking trial ripped into attorneys for both sides Tuesday after details from closed-door proceedings were published in the media.
“Someone is lying,” Judge Arun Subramanian said, threatening to hold attorneys in contempt of court if it happens again. “One or more people who were here Friday in this courtroom flagrantly violated this court’s orders.”
Diddy, 55, is accused of using his fame and fortune to run a decade-long scheme in which he controlled and manipulated his longtime girlfriend, R&B singer Cassie Ventura, 38, and others using violence and threats, forcing them into “freak-off” sex marathons that went on for days.
The rapper has pleaded not guilty to charges of sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution. He faces life in prison if convicted.
The trial is not televised because cameras are prohibited inside the federal courthouse, but we’re there following all the action — so watch this space for the latest updates.
