There may be new charges in the sex trafficking case of Sean “Diddy” Combs

NEW YORK – A federal grand jury may soon issue additional indictments against music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs, who already is facing multiple charges related to a federal sex trafficking case.

Sources told FOX 5’s Lisa Evers that the grand jury is hearing new testimony, and more charges and defendants could be added in the coming weeks.

According to attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis, the addition of a “superseding indictment” would broaden the scope of the case and increase its complexity.

“What the federal government sometimes does as they continue their investigation is they file another indictment, which is a superseding indictment,” Faddis explained. “It usually modifies and replaces the original charge and adds additional charges.”

Combs’ defense team has pushed for a speedy trial, currently scheduled for May 2025. However, Faddis noted that new charges could delay the proceedings.

“If there are charges that add a whole new dimension to this case, which I think is quite likely, it could result in both sides needing more time to investigate, locate more witnesses and obtain additional evidence,” he said.

The case also includes civil lawsuits, with more than two dozen people claiming they were drugged and sexually assaulted by Combs. This week, a federal judge ruled that a woman known as “Jane Doe,” who is pursuing such a lawsuit, must reveal her real name by Nov. 13 or her case will be dismissed.

Combs, through his attorneys, has categorically denied all criminal and civil allegations. The U.S. Attorney’s Office declined to comment on the ongoing investigation. However, sources indicate that new charges could be filed soon, potentially implicating other suspects in the case.
