Accusers of music mogul Diddy set to testify before a federal grand jury in New York City regarding potential criminal charges. Diddy faces civil lawsuits alleging sex trafficking, abuse, and rape, which he denies. The convening of a grand jury would escalate the government's investigation into Diddy, who settled a lawsuit with his former partner.
Multiple accusers of music mogul Diddy are reportedly slated to testify before a federal grand jury in New York City regarding potential criminal charges against him. The witnesses have been notified by investigators, although the existence of the grand jury has not been confirmed by the Homeland Security Investigations agency (HSI). Diddy, facing civil lawsuits since November alleging sex trafficking, sexual abuse, and rape, has denied all allegations, calling them baseless.
The potential witnesses have yet to be prepped for testimony as HSI investigators continue to gather evidence for a potential indictment. The convening of a grand jury would mark a significant escalation in the government's ongoing investigation into Diddy, who has been named in eight civil lawsuits since November.
The first lawsuit was filed by his former partner, Cassie, who alleged years of abuse, with surveillance footage from 2016 appearing to corroborate parts of her complaint.
Two days after the footage was published, Diddy issued an apology video, and the lawsuit was settled for an undisclosed amount the following day.
