Diddy’s legal issues continue to get more complicated. He is now is facing two new charges due to a superseding indictment.
As spotted on Variety, the mogul will have to strategize his defense to account for some new accusations against him. Last week, prosecutors upped the ante on his federal trial with new charges against him related to sex trafficking and prostitution. The 17-page document claims Diddy trafficked “Victim 2” starting in 2021 to 2024 and “attempted, aided and abetted, and willfully caused Victim-2, to engage in commercial sex acts.” This filing also details that he “knowingly transported individuals in interstate and foreign commerce with intent that the individuals engage in prostitution.”
Diddy’s legal team has refuted the claims in an exclusive statement to Variety. “These are not new allegations or new accusers. These are the same individuals, former long-term girlfriends, who were involved in consensual relationships. This was their private sex life, defined by consent, not coercion.” Diddy is still being held at Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. He has plead not guilty to the original charges. His trial is set to commence May 5.
