The sex-trafficking trial of Sean “Diddy” Combs may be over, but there’s still more business that needs to be handled within the courtroom. As it stands, the 58-year-old hip hop mogul is waiting to be sentenced, with that hearing set to take place in October. Combs’ legal team, in the meantime, has continued to work on his behalf. It would now appear that the attorneys are going to return to court just ahead of the sentencing hearing. And it would appear that this situation has to do with Diddy’s lawyers’ attempts to have him released.
A new court hearing has officially been set by Judge Arun Subramanian, who presided over the Sean John founder’s sex-trafficking trial earlier this summer. Per ABC News, Diddy’s lawyers will be present at the hearing to argue for his acquittal on the two transportation to engage in prostitution charges he was found guilty of under the Mann Act. The hearing is set to take place in Manhattan and will occur on September 25, which is the week before the rapper is set to be sentenced.
