A black male juror was kicked off the Sean “Diddy” Combs sex-trafficking case Monday — after the judge says the man lied to be on the panel.
Judge Arun Subramanian booted “Juror 6” over vigorous objections from the disgraced rapper’s lawyers who argued it would reduce the panel’s diversity.
Diddy, 55, is accused of using his fame and fortune to run a decade-long scheme in which he controlled and manipulated his longtime girlfriend, R&B singer Cassie Ventura, 38, and others using violence and threats, forcing them into “freak-off” sex marathons that went on for days.
The rapper has pleaded not guilty to charges of sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution. He faces life in prison if convicted.
The trial is not televised because cameras are prohibited inside the federal courthouse, but we’re there following all the action — so watch this space for the latest updates.
