Image
On Monday, the jury in Sean Combs’ sex trafficking trial ended the first day of deliberations without a verdict.

A juror in the case was previously replaced due to concerns regarding his place of residence – he initially reported himself as living in the Bronx, and later said he lived in New Jersey.

The jury, made up of eight men and four women, went to a private room to begin deliberations at roughly 11:30 a.m. Approximately 10 minutes later, they sent a note confirming they had an elected a foreperson.

At 1:25 p.m., the judge received a note from the jury that expressed doubts over one of the individual’s ability to follow instructions, and requested the judge question the juror. No additional information was provided concerning what instruction the Juror (Juror No. 25) had failed to follow.

Actual Reason Why P Diddy’s Trial Won’t Be Televised & Is Off-Limits to the Public
Image
After being arrested in September 2024 under charges of racketeering conspiracy and s*x trafficking, the 55-year-old music mogul, P Diddy’s trial proceedings began with jury selection on May 5. Thereafter, the hearing was finalized on May 12 wherein prosecutor assistant US attorney Emily Johnson, and defense attorney Teny Geragos opened with their statements and witnesses came to testify.

Now, as P Diddy’s high-profile trial moves on with statements from both sides, and anonymous witnesses coming to testify, curious court watchers hoped to follow the trial on livestream or some sort of televised format. Unfortunately, unlike several other high-profile trials, like that of Johnny Depp or O.J. Simpson, this 55-year-old rapper’s proceedings won’t be televised.

Male Escort Daniel Phillip Gives Graphic Court Testimony About Sean Combs’ Abuse Of Cassie Ventura
Image
Sean Combs’ trial has begun, and the first witness was a male escort who shared a detailed account of his harrowing experience with the musician.

Combs was arrested in September 2024 on multiple charges of sex trafficking and racketeering. Among other counts, the industry mogul was accused of having days-long “freak off” parties in which he forced women to have sex with male escorts to the point of critical exhaustion. Women and male escorts have alleged that during the parties they were abused, drugged, raped and filmed against their will and more.

Combs has denied all wrongdoing and rejected a plea deal offer, insisting that the parties were fully consensual. His attorneys have argued that although charges of domestic abuse are true, others are false, and prosecutors are attempting to villainize Combs’ party lifestyle.

Among those expected to provide testimony later in the week is Combs’ ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura.
