Federal Prosecutors Shock Court In Diddy's Trial With Revelation About A Missing Key Witness

Federal prosecutors have revealed that one of the witnesses in Sean "Diddy" Combs' trial has gone missing.

The individual in question is referred to as "Victim 3" in the superseding federal indictment against Diddy.

"Victim 3" was added to the indictment based on charges of sex trafficking and transportation for the purpose of engaging in prostitution against Sean "Diddy" Combs.

Diddy's sex crimes trial has taken an unexpected turn due to one of the three witnesses expected to testify for federal prosecutors.

According to the Daily Mail, federal prosecutors revealed in court today that they are unable to locate the witness, who is referred to in the indictment as "Victim 3."

The witness in question is reportedly not residing in New York, where the trial is currently being held.

Not only have prosecutors had difficulty reaching her, but they have also been unable to contact her attorney.

They also claimed that they have doubts about the unnamed victim showing up in court, even if they are able to locate her.

Now, the disclosure has seemingly put a lid on the "very personal and explosive details" the witness was expected to make about the abuse she endured from Diddy.

Diddy's attorney, Teny Geragos, has also applied pressure on the prosecution to make a decision, giving them until the end of the week, ahead of the opening statement on Monday.

In his ongoing trial, Diddy is facing a racketeering conspiracy charge, two counts of sex trafficking, and two counts of transportation for the purpose of prostitution.

The charges relate to  four accusers, including Diddy's ex-girlfriend Cassandra "Cassie" Ventura, who were allegedly unwilling participants in the rapper's "freak offs."

These "freak offs" have been described as sex- and drug-fueled parties where the rapper allegedly forced his victims to engage in sexual acts with male prostitutes. He is also said to have filmed these acts for his personal use, with some of the videos reportedly discovered during a raid on his residence.

Earlier this year, Diddy's attorneys, Marc Agnifilo and Tony Geragos, contested the videos, claiming that the women featured were all willing participants.

"Contrary to what the government has led this Court and the public to believe, the so-called 'Freak Offs' were private sexual activity between fully consenting adults in a long-term relationship," the attorneys argued, per ABC.

On Friday, both the prosecutors and Diddy's lawyer will meet in court to determine which 45 potential jurors will move on to the final selection.

The group of 45 was selected from a larger pool of 600 individuals who answered a series of questions to assess their suitability for the case.

These questions included topics such as domestic partner violence, their music and media preferences, and their hobbies.

Once the trial begins later this month, reaching a conclusion could take up to eight weeks or more.

Each court session will not be televised or live-streamed. However, members of the public will be allowed access to the courtroom.

If Diddy is found guilty of racketeering, he could face life in prison.

Meanwhile, a conviction for sex trafficking carries a mandatory minimum sentence of 15 years, while transporting individuals for prostitution could result in an additional sentence of up to 10 years.

Since the legal process began, Diddy has maintained his innocence while claiming that the federal prosecutors are simply targeting him in an attempt to bring down a Black man.

The embattled rapper seems so determined to prove his innocence that he even rejected a plea deal, which would have likely spared him a prolonged sentence if found guilty of the charges against him.

Amid the ongoing drama surrounding Diddy's trial, new evidence has surfaced that appears to support explosive claims made by former adult film star Jonathan Oddi.

Oddi previously alleged that he was held as a "sex slave" by the music mogul following his arrest in 2018 for opening fire at a Florida resort owned by President Donald Trump.

At the time, he told the police that he had signed a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) in exchange for $5 million and alleged that Diddy was "scared" he would "expose" him.

The NDA in question was recently obtained by the Daily Mail and appears to bear Diddy's signature, though it remains unclear whether the signature is authentic or forged.

Oddi's former wife, Tonia Troutwine, has also come forward to confirm the existence of the NDA, adding that it was signed around the time of their separation in 2014.
