Lawyers for Sean “Diddy” Combs want prosecutors to disclose the names of his accusers, telling the judge overseeing his sex trafficking case that the government is “unfairly” forcing the music producer “to play a guessing game” as the defense prepares for trial. Combs’ latest request comes amid a surge of new civil accusers who have come forward in lawsuits after he was arrested and indicted last month on three criminal charges. In a letter to Judge Arun Subramanian on Tuesday, Combs’ attorneys wrote “the government has claimed that there are ‘multiple’ victims yet has not identified any.” They wrote that the task of identifying the persons at the center of the government’s case is complicated by a “slew of baseless allegations” from “desperate” and “opportunistic” plaintiffs. The US Attorney’s office declined to comment. Combs, who is being held in federal custody in Brooklyn as he awaits trial, has pleaded not guilty to charges of sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution. Federal prosecutors have accused Combs of orchestrating a “criminal enterprise” through his business empire that engaged in sex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping and decades of physical abuse against women, among other allegations. They allege that he did not act alone. His trial is set to begin in May 2025.
