Sean 'Diddy' Combs has formally rejected the US government's offer to plead guilty and spare himself the possibility of a prolonged prison sentence. The musician appeared in court on Thursday, wearing glasses and a beige prison uniform, ahead of the start of his sex trafficking trial next week. He appeared to be in a good mood, and waved to the gallery as he arrived. Asked by judge Arun Subramanian if he rejected prosecutors' plea deal, Combs replied: "Yes, I do, your honour. Thank you." The 55-year-old has been is facing charges of sex trafficking and prostitution that allege he coerced women into prolonged sexual orgies he called "freak-offs". He has denied all the charges against him.
