Following Sean “Diddy” Combs' not guilty plea to sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy charges during his arraignment, a trial date has been set for the embattled music mogul's case. The trial date is currently set for May 5, 2025.

While he's awaiting trial at a detention center in Brooklyn, NY, the judge hearing the grand jury proceedings recently imposed a gag order mandating all involved parties, including the defense, the prosecution, and law enforcement agents, to abstain from leaking or publicly discussing crucial case details of the grand jury proceedings that may negatively impact Diddy's rights to a fair trial.

Sex Crime Allegations are Dangerous

Sex crimes are some of the worst accusations that you could be charged with in New Jersey. The fallout can be incredibly damaging even when acquitted of these allegations. People who are accused of sex crimes are often at risk of reputational damage that can adversely affect everything from their personal and familial relationships to their business relationships.

For instance, due to these allegations alone, Diddy's reputation has suffered tremendous damage. Brands, organizations, and schools have pulled their endorsements, withdrawn degrees, and served ties with the “I'll Be Missing You” star's organization and person.

If convicted, he may be sentenced to life in prison and forced to pay restitution to his victims. Also, he will be compelled to register as a sex offender under Megan's Law. The same may apply to you. Sex crime convictions in New Jersey attract severe penalties such as 18 months imprisonment to a life sentence and up to $200,000 in fines.

The accused is also likely to suffer other indirect consequences, such as lifetime criminal records, which can severely limit their civil liberties and access to societal benefits such as loans, mortgages, or insurance. Worse, it may even affect your capacity to secure a job in the future.
