In September, Combs was accused in a three-count indictment of having used his sprawling business empire to abuse, threaten and traffic women in order to “fulfill his sexual desires” and protect his reputation. He was charged with sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution.

NEW YORK (Reuters) -Sean 'Diddy' Combs appeared in Manhattan federal court on Friday for a hearing over the hip-hop mogul's bid to delay his upcoming sex trafficking trial by two months. Combs, 55, has pleaded not guilty to five criminal counts including racketeering and sex trafficking.

Weeks before the music mogul is scheduled to stand trial, prosecutors added a more serious charge involving a woman they refer to as “Victim-2.”
