*The federal judge in Sean “Diddy” Combs’ <www.foxnews.com/category/person/sean-diddy-combs> sex trafficking case dealt the rapper a huge blow Friday, just weeks before the start of his trial.*
*Judge Arun Subramanian denied Diddy’s motion to exclude video evidence from the trial of the rapper physically assaulting ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura <www.foxnews.com/entertainment/sean-diddy-combs-accuses-cnn-altering-destroying-video-rapper-assaulting-ex-cassie-ventura>. *
*The defense argued the video, initially published by CNN, had been digitally altered. The prosecution claimed minor adjustments had been made and noted the person who shot the video would be testifying during the estimated two-month trial.*
*Diddy’s team also began to mount the rapper’s defense against the sex trafficking charges lobbed at the disgraced music mogul, claiming he was just a “swinger.” The argument provided by the defense comes as the prosecution revealed Diddy rejected a plea deal offer.*
*”Many people think it’s appropriate because it’s common.” Judge Subramanian ruled he would allow the “swingers” defense but emphasized Diddy’s legal team could not name other high-profile individuals who engage in the “lifestyle” as an example.*
*Prosecutors added two new charges against Diddy in an April 3 superseding indictment after federal prosecutors claimed the rapper engaged in sex trafficking a female victim as recently as 2024. He was accused of transferring the woman, referred to as “Victim 2,” along with sex workers across state lines to engage in prostitution between 2021 and 2024.*
*When the “Last Night” rapper <www.foxnews.com/category/entertainment/genres/hip-hop-rap> appeared in court March 14, he pleaded not guilty to the government’s first version of a superseding indictment. That version lengthened the timeline of his alleged sex trafficking and racketeering behavior and added two more victims.*
*The prosecution also accused the music mogul of forcing employees to work long hours by threatening them with physical or reputational harm and forcing an employee to engage in a sexual encounter with the musician.*
