Diddy trial – level 2

15-10-2024 15:00

Rapper and producer Sean Diddy Combs will go to trial in May 2025 because of sex trafficking and illegal business activities.

It seems that he used his businesses to bring women and men across the US for sexual activities, but he says he is not guilty. If he is guilty, Diddy could spend the rest of his life in prison. His mother and daughters were in court to support him. Diddy’s lawyer says that the sexual actions were with permission and asked the judge to stop the media from getting too much information.

At the same time, Diddy is also facing other cases. Many people accused him of things like sexual attacks.

Difficult words: sex trafficking (illegally moving people and forcing them into sexual activities), guilty (responsible for doing something wrong), permission (allowing something).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.

What are the potential consequences for Sean Diddy Combs if he is found guilty of sex trafficking and illegal business activities?
