Disgraced music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs has rejected a plea deal in his ongoing federal sex trafficking and racketeering case, a federal prosecutor revealed during a pre-trial hearing on Friday in New York.

Prosecutor Madison Smyser disclosed the existence of the plea offer but did not provide details on its terms. Combs, who faces five federal charges, has pleaded not guilty to all counts.

The charges stem from allegations that Combs used violence, intimidation, and coercion to force women into participating in so-called “Freak Offs” sex parties allegedly involving non-consensual acts.

In a major setback for the defense, Judge Arun Subramanian ruled that surveillance footage from a 2016 hotel incident where Combs is seen physically assaulting his then-girlfriend, singer Cassie Ventura will be admissible in court.

“It’s a huge win for the prosecution and a tough loss for the defense,” said legal analyst Marco Mundaca. “I can’t see how any jury member will be able to view that video and think favorably of Sean Combs. It’s going to be hard to watch. Visuals are so powerful at trial they’re almost irreplaceable.”

Combs' attorneys had previously argued that the footage had been altered and should be excluded, but the judge ultimately ruled that the jury will be allowed to view the video during the trial.

Following the release of the footage, Combs issued a public apology: “My behavior in that video is inexcusable. I take full responsibility for my actions. I’m not asking for forgiveness. I am truly sorry,” he said, adding that he has since sought therapy and rehab.

Cassie Ventura, who recently settled a separate civil lawsuit against Combs, is expected to testify during the trial.

Jury selection is scheduled to begin on May 5, with opening statements set for May 12. The trial is expected to last up to 10 weeks.

Combs continues to deny all allegations of misconduct.
