Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ Lawyers Say Sex Trafficking Charge Has Racist Origins, Ask Judge to Dismiss It
Sean “Diddy” Combs’ legal team has made a bold claim in response to the ongoing sex trafficking case against the entrepreneur and businessman. According to reports, Diddy’s lawyers have alleged that the charges brought against him are rooted in racism.
The accusation stems from an investigation conducted by Billboard, which suggests that the claims of sexual exploitation and trafficking were not thoroughly investigated before being presented in court. In fact, the data revealed that over 90% of sex trafficking cases in Los Angeles County involve Black or Latino individuals, sparking concerns about systemic racial bias in the justice system.
Citing this information, Diddy’s legal team has asked a judge to dismiss the charges, citing racial motivations behind the allegations. The move comes as the entertainment mogul faces potentially severe consequences if convicted of sex trafficking.
While Combs’ camp remains tight-lipped on the matter, sources close to the situation indicate that they will continue to fight the charges with all available legal means.
