Lawyers: Sean 'Diddy' Combs seeks trial next April or May on sex trafficking charges

Lawyers for Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs say the jailed hip-hop mogul is seeking to go to trial on sex trafficking charges next spring. The lawyers and prosecutors advised a judge on Wednesday about their expectations for a Thursday hearing in Manhattan federal court. Combs has been locked up since his Sept. 16 arrest on charges alleging that he has physically and sexually abused women for years. His lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, says Combs is not guilty and is determined to clear his name at trial. Lawyers for Combs are trying to get him freed on bail. Two judges have already rejected the request.
