The federal judge in the trial of Sean "Diddy" Combs for sex trafficking and other charges denied Friday the music mogul's bid to delay his trial by two months, saying he had ample time to prepare.
On Monday, the rapper and record producer pleaded not guilty to two new charges added to the criminal racketeering and sex trafficking case: one new charge of sex trafficking and one of transportation to engage in prostitution.
Judge Arun Subramanian said that the blockbuster trial of Combs, 55, who stands accused by several women of trafficking and sexually exploiting them, should go ahead as planned on May 5. It is expected to last eight to 10 weeks.
Diddy has denied all charges thus far, insisting that any sex acts were consensual.
Combs's lead lawyer, had said an extension was required to examine new evidence.
