Jurors who will determine the fate of Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs in his sex trafficking trial will be selected from today in New York City.
Combs, 55, has pleaded not guilty on all counts, insisting that any sex acts were consensual – but prosecutors say for years he coerced victims into drug-fueled sex parties using threats and violence.
Potential jurors were shown binders with names and places related to the case on Monday; one of them said they recognized actor Jordan B Jordan and comedian Mike Myers on the list.
The music mogul has been held at Brooklyn’s notorious Metropolitan Detention Center since he was arrested by federal agents in New York in September last year.
Jury selection is expected to wrap up in about a week, with opening statements tentatively scheduled for May 12. The proceedings are estimated to last eight to 10 weeks.
