Diddy can't save himself in his sex trafficking case: Lawyers say existing videos leave him with no chance

Rapper Diddy, formally known as Sean Combs, is in real trouble having been arrested in Manhattan recently.

Diddy is currently in prison and being held under strict conditions as part of suicide watch after he was arrested and charged with racketeering, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution.

It is alleged he "abused, threatened, and coerced women and others around him to fulfill sexual desires, protect his reputation, and conceal his conduct." His application for bail on bond was rejected by a judge after prosecutors claimed he is 'dangerous'.

Diddy has recruited Marc Agnifilo as his attorney, but he is said to face an uphill battle to win the case against him due to a 'treasure trove' of evidence, according to a former prosecutor.

"I think [the Combs case] would actually make a stronger case particularly because [prosecutors] talk about a lot of videos," said former federal prosecutor Anthony Capozzolo to the New York Post.

The videos allegedly depict "freak offs" showing his drugged-out victims having sex with male prostitutes as part of days-long sessions, according to the report.

"The irony is [the recordings are] now a treasure trove of evidence that is going to be used against him," said Los Angeles-based defense attorney Neama Rahmani. There is a lot of video evidence in this case and it's great because witnesses can lie but a video never lies."

Rahmani added: "The victim testimony is corroborated by the video and it's just so powerful."

Agnifilo up against it

The music mogul's attorney Agnifilo, who has previously represented actors, is going to find it difficult to get his client free despite a not guilty plea, according to Capozzolo, who believes the videos will define the case.

"As a defense attorney, you can have the best laid plans and then they show one or two videos and everything goes out the window," he added. "So it's a very difficult case for [Agnifilo]."
