“Yes, your honor,” Combs replied after Judge Arun Subramanian asked if federal prosecutors rejected the offer that made him.
Combs, 55, is accused of forcing the woman into “long-term sexual encounters,” which he called her “freak-off.” He faces a number of conspiracy, sex trafficking and prostitution. His trial is scheduled to begin on Monday with a ju judge's choice.
US lawyer Aide Molen Comey showed that the guilty plea essentially eased the exposure of Comb's sentence, in contrast to convictions for all counts at trial.
However, details of the judicial agreement have not been made public.
Comb was wearing a beige prison uniform when he appeared in court. He also saw one of his lawyers, Tenny Jelagos, giving a fist bump with a smile.
In a short meeting, Jelagos expressed concern over the comments made in the documentary by Lisa Bloom, a Los Angeles-based lawyer representing at least two Combs civil accusers in connection with the case.
“I'm interested in what she does here,” Geragos said.
Nevertheless, the Subramanians pledged to “all lawyers” and witnesses to follow court and professional conduct guidelines for biased statements that could violate Combs' rights to justice.
It was first filed in September and later accused comb of being the head of a crime that allowed “physical, physical, emotional and sexual abuse” over the years, as it continued to indict several suits. combs was arrested last year.
He entered a plea of innocence to charges of sex trafficking, assault conspiracy and transport to engage in prostitution. In March, he also entered a plea of not guilty to accused of forcing one of his workers to engage in sexual acts.
The rapper rebutted all the charges.
In addition to the victims of the three main accused, federal prosecutors alleged there were up to 20 witnesses who could provide testimony regarding the comb's illegal activities.
If convicted, the comb can spend decades behind the bar. Among the allegations, sex trafficking charges include a 15-year minimum penalty required in prison and a prison life sentence, but accusations of conspiracy that would result in the maximum life sentence in prison if convicted.
The opening remarks are scheduled for May 12th.thand the selection of jury members for the trial is scheduled to begin on May 5th.th.
