The Trial: USA
The Prior Bad Acts Question

Yeah. And then the prosecution really wasted no time in replying to that, saying, quote, since his arrest, the defendant has insisted that every victim in this case consented to every act the government has identified. Having made his intention to argue at trial that he believed every alleged coercive sex act was consensual, the defendant has put his knowledge and intent squarely at issue.

And then the statement goes on to say, quote, The defense's motion to prevent the jury from hearing this damning evidence should be denied." And that really says it all.

Yeah, and that just sounds like there's a lot to do before the start of the trial and before selecting the jury and everything. But on the same day, federal prosecutors amended the indictment against Combs for a third time by adding two new charges of sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution.

Prosecutors have alleged that Combs used forced fraud or coercion to recruit, harbor and transport the woman across state lines with the intent of engaging in prostitution. And all this happened between 2021 and 2024, they say. This new charge carries a mandatory minimum sentence of 15 years in prison. In a statement, Combs' lawyer said, quote,

And I think that's interesting because when we were talking to Renato, what he kept bringing up was the argument that Diddy's team is going to make that like, yeah, a lot of this stuff could have happened and maybe it did happen, but it was all consensual. And that's exactly what you're seeing Diddy's team saying here, saying that it was their private sex life.

Yeah, and at one point in the story, Howard says that he was asked by Diddy to play some of his own music, and he did, but says that Diddy continued to, quote, look at him, making him feel, quote, bewildered. Later, apparently feeling unsettled by the encounter, Terrence Howard claims he confided his discomfort to his assistant, who suspected that Diddy had been making a subtle sexual advance.

I think he's trying to F you, Howard remembers the assistant saying of Diddy. We have, of course, reached out to Diddy's team for comment. And it's important to reiterate that Diddy has vehemently denied all allegations made in all recent lawsuits filed against him. And he has also denied all federal charges filed against him last year.
