Closing arguments are underway in Sean "Diddy" Combs' high-profile federal trial in New York, where he faces charges including **racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution**.
Over the past six weeks, prosecutors presented testimony from more than 30 witnesses, including former girlfriends Cassie Ventura and a woman identified as "Jane," who described alleged abuse and coercion into drug-fueled sexual encounters. The prosecution argues that Combs used his business empire as a front for a criminal enterprise that exploited women.
The defense, which did not call any witnesses, contends that the government failed to prove a criminal conspiracy and that the relationships in question were consensual. Combs has pleaded not guilty to all charges.
The jury is expected to begin deliberations soon after both sides complete their closing statements.
