What are the allegations against Diddy?
The following episode explores a number of allegations regarding the artist Diddy. He denies all charges and has pled not guilty to sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution. The biggest secret in the entertainment industry that really wasn't a secret at all has finally been revealed to the world. At the height of his career, Sean Diddy Combs had it all. It seemed like everything Diddy touched turned to gold. Now the once untouchable hip-hop mogul is fighting for his life as he faces multiple federal charges in New York, including sex trafficking and allegedly running a criminal enterprise.
Music mogul and rapper Sean Diddy Combs has faced four different lawsuits in recent weeks alleging sexual assault. I'm DailyMail.com journalist Marjorie Hernandez.
And over the last six months, I've been investigating this incredible story and speaking to the people in the eye of the storm. Welcome to the Trial of Diddy.

Hey, I'm Kayla Brantley, reporter at large for Daily Mail in Manhattan.
And I'm Marjorie Hernandez, DailyMail.com's West Coast news editor.
And welcome to episode 29 of The Trial of Diddy. And what an up and down week it's been for Mr. Sean John Combs.
It really has, Kayla. We've seen the racketeering claims made against Diddy by producer Rodney Lilrod-Jones, dismissed by U.S. District Judge Paul Oatkin, But at the same time, the judge's ruling means all the other claims and those including the allegations of sex trafficking could still move forward. So quite the highs and lows for Diddy and his legal team this week.
Always. Honestly, this whole case has been filled with highs and lows for both sides. As we record this on Wednesday, it is March 26th. We're 40 days until jury selection begins on May 5th and 47 days until the trial itself begins with those opening statements. So it's fair to say that things are really heating up for the defense and the prosecution. As ever, it is important to say that Diddy has vehemently denied all allegations made in all recent lawsuits filed against him. And he's also denied all federal charges filed against him last year. Like everyone else in the legal system, he remains innocent until he's been proven guilty.
And with that being said, let's meet this week's guest, New Jersey-based former prosecutor, founding attorney of Gelman Law, and most importantly, a friend of the pod, Mr. David Gelman.
Thank you for having me, guys. You know, that's a great entrance right there.
Well, usually we give our listeners a weekly roundup of everything that's gone down. But we kind of figured this week that we just talk through it with you and get your take on what's been going on. One of them being Little Rod's Rico dismissal. What can you tell us about any of that?
So it's not a flat out dismissal. The judge dismissed five of the eight counts there. I mean, the judge, he pretty much slam dunked the attorney. He's pretty much saying, you realize that defendants are innocent until proven guilty. And he kind of slapped him down. You don't really want that as an attorney, especially in papers where anybody in the country or the world can read this. So he really embarrassed the attorney for Little Rob, but he deserved to be embarrassed because if you can't figure that part out of the law, you probably shouldn't be practicing law. That really was stunning to me, in my opinion. But the facts of the case, reading it, It was very weak to begin with, and you could kind of tell that was a money grab.
