NEW YORK - Sean "Diddy" Combs, the hip-hop entrepreneur whose wildly successful ca-reer has been dotted by allegations of violence, will be brought to a New York courthouse Monday to be tried on charges that he used the...
influence and resources of his business empire to sexually abuse women. Jury selection is scheduled to begin in the morning and potentially take several days. Opening statements by the lawyers and the start of testimony is expected next week. The 17-page indictment against Combs reads like a charging document filed against a Mafia leader or the head of a drug gang, accusing him of engaging in sex trafficking and presiding over a racketeering conspiracy.
