Next month, the trial of Sean 'Diddy' Combs is set to commence, with potential jurors being vetted on their views about severe topics such as kidnapping and sex trafficking. This high-profile case sees the music mogul facing accusations that allege he used his extensive business network for sexual exploitation.

The trial, slated to occur in a federal New York City courtroom, will begin jury selection on May 5. Combs, aged 55, faces formidable charges that include racketeering, among others. The draft juror questionnaires highlight the disturbing nature of the allegations, which include arson and forced labor, posing a potential challenge for jurors to remain fair and unbiased.

The case is expected to present graphic evidence, including violent and explicit content. Allegations against Combs describe orchestrated events known as 'freak-offs,' where women performed with male sex workers. Despite pleading not guilty, Combs' prominent career is overshadowed by these accusations, exemplifying the alleged dark side his success concealed.
