Maurene Comey, an assistant U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, has joined the federal prosecution team in the case against Sean "Diddy" Combs, who faces charges of sex trafficking and racketeering. Comey, daughter of former FBI Director James Comey, previously served as a lead prosecutor in the high-profile trial of Ghislaine Maxwell.
Combs was arrested in September 2024 following a grand jury indictment. He has pleaded not guilty to the charges and remains in federal custody, with his trial scheduled to begin on May 5, 2025.
The addition of Comey to the prosecution team underscores the case's significance, given her experience with complex sex trafficking prosecutions. Her involvement is expected to bring substantial expertise to the proceedings against Combs.
Christian "King" Combs, the 26-year-old son of Sean "Diddy" Combs, has been served with legal documents at his father's Miami mansion. The lawsuit, filed by Grace O’Marcaigh, accuses him of assault, battery, sexual assault, and intentional infliction of emotional distress. The alleged incident occurred in July 2022 aboard a yacht named Victorious, which was chartered by Diddy for a family outing. O’Marcaigh, a stewardess on the yacht, claims the event devolved into a "hedonistic environment" involving drug use and sex workers, leading to an increased workload and unwanted exposure to illicit activities.
According to the lawsuit, Christian Combs exhibited inappropriate behavior towards O’Marcaigh, pressuring her to drink alcohol and becoming aggressive when she resisted. He allegedly grabbed her arm violently, preventing her from leaving, and made unwelcome advances. O’Marcaigh asserts that this experience caused significant emotional and physical distress, adversely affecting her career and personal life. Representatives for both Christian and Sean Combs have denied the allegations, describing them as "lewd and meritless" and attributing them to attorney Tyrone Blackburn, whom they accuse of filing unfounded claims for media attention.
