Prosecutors Say Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is Trying to Obstruct His Sex Trafficking Case

Prosectors argue that Sean “Diddy” Combs has tried to reach out to prospective witnesses and influence public opinion from jail in a bid to affect potential jurors for his upcoming sex trafficking trial. In a court filing, they urge a judge to reject his latest $50 million bail proposal. A bail hearing is scheduled for this week.

Prosecutors wrote that a review of recorded jail calls made by Combs shows he has asked family members to reach out to potential victims and witnesses and has urged them to create “narratives” to influence the jury pool. They say he also has encouraged marketing strategies to sway public opinion.

Prosecutors wrote that it could be inferred from his behavior that Combs wants to blackmail victims and witnesses into silence or into providing testimony helpful to his defense.
