Diddy is moving to dismiss a charge in the superseding indictment filed against him, alleging that the law itself is “racist.”
The mogul’s motion, filed on Tuesday (February 18), focuses on the charge of transportation to engage in prostitution, one of three counts in the indictment along with sex trafficking and racketeering.
It claims that there has never been a similar prosecution under the Mann Act and no white person has ever been targeted with the law, which has been in place for over 100 years and was designed to prohibit the transportation of women for sex.
The filing claims that Diddy is the victim of racism from the government, saying: “Mr. Combs has been singled out because he is a powerful Black man, and he is being prosecuted for conduct that regularly goes unpunished.”
It adds: “What was racist in its inception has often been racist in its operation.”
The filing also reiterates the defense’s argument that all sexual activity involving Diddy and others was consensual: “The government has concocted a criminal case based primarily on allegations that Mr. Combs and two of his longtime girlfriends sometimes brought a third party — a male escort — into their sexual relationship.”
It also repeats the accusation that federal prosecutors have been leaking information about the case to the media: “The government’s handling of this case demonstrates bias and animus. It has gone out of its way to humiliate Mr. Combs and to prejudice the jury pool with pretrial publicity that plays on racist tropes. It has leaked damaging (and often times false) material to the press.”
The prosecution have yet to respond to Diddy’s motion to dismiss the charge or the allegations of racism.
The government previously rejected claims that they were discriminating against the Bad Boy boss based on his race.
During a pre-trial hearing last October, a prosecutor called similar accusations made by Diddy’s legal team “baseless” and claimed that they posed a “serious risk” to the conduction of a fair trial.
Puffy, who has been in jail since his arrest last September, has denied all allegations against him and has repeatedly claimed that all instances of sexual activity were consensual.
His trial is currently scheduled to begin on May 5. If convicted, he faces up to life in prison.
Right…. the evidence is gonna put you under the jail. Sorry brother the CIA cashed you in like Alonzo in Training Day.
For once I agree with you
In his case what he truly meant was “homophobic”
It’s true though all black people are innocent why aren’t the Yiddish people in jail? Roma Polanski, Clive Davis, Drake, Bryan Singer, Dan Schneider, Francis Ford Coppola, Bob Iger, Lady Gaga, Scooter Braun, Jimmy Iovine, Steven Spielberg, Brian Roberts, Shari Redstone, David Zaslav, Brett Ratner, Zack Snyder, Anderson Cooper, Lucian Grange and family, Rothschild family, the UK Royals, Ezra Miller, George Soros, Warren Buffett, and many others are the top brass meanwhile Diddy is just one of their servants.
al sharpton where are you another downtrodden black man victimised by the whites
@hector you know, he’s busy doing the feds bidding. He was busted moving multiple kilos in the 80s. Everyone around him did hard time in prison, but not him. Why? He became a federal informant and stopped being an honest activist. He’s been a complete phony ever since, and to those who can’t see through it, there’s no hope.
I erased all racism from this country after removing DEI from our beautiful American infrastructure. So I assure you Puff Diddy Love, its not racial, we just don’t like you!
that was his hailmary? he’s fucked😭
the charges are unjust because the discriminate against violent sex offenders and pedos
“Cum with me,
Male Kari, n****, suck dick please,

Now you’ll only grind on guys?
Ha, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha”
