Sean "Diddy" Combs' legal team is strategically setting up his defense by highlighting his involvement in consensual "swinging" as a justification for the federal sex crime charges he faces.
During a court hearing on April 25, Combs' attorneys revealed their plan to portray his actions as part of a lifestyle choice rather than criminal behavior.
The discussion arose when the prosecution challenged the defense's attempt to suggest that Combs was unfairly targeted for prosecution.
Combs' lawyer Marc Agnifilo emphasized the importance of showcasing Combs' lifestyle to prove his lack of criminal intent to the jurors.
Federal prosecutors, on the other hand, have accused Combs of engaging in more sinister activities, including sex trafficking and prostitution.
Despite the serious charges, Combs has maintained his innocence and rejected a plea deal offered by the prosecution.
As the trial date approaches, Combs' legal team continues to prepare for what could be a landmark case in the entertainment industry.
