As jurors begin deliberations in Sean “Diddy” Combs‘ federal sex crimes case, prosecutors have dropped several charges, including attempted kidnapping, attempted arson, and aiding and abetting sex trafficking.
This move comes as prosecutors seek to streamline jury instructions and focus on charges backed by stronger evidence. Combs is still facing charges related to sex trafficking and forced labor.
The dropped charges specifically related to allegations that Combs set fire to Kid Cudi’s vehicle after the rapper entered into a relationship with Combs’ on-again, off-again girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, and that Combs kidnapped both Ventura and his former assistant, Capricorn Clark.
Prosecutors say they’re no longer going to argue attempted kidnapping, attempted arson and aiding and abetting sex trafficking as liability for Sean “Diddy” Combs’ racketeering conspiracy charge. https://t.co/aBgvsVsaas pic.twitter.com/3GXF0JbAj9
