The high-profile sex trafficking case against Sean “Diddy” Combs has taken a stunning turn; one of the prosecution\u2019s key witnesses has mysteriously gone missing just days before opening statements are set to begin.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Federal prosecutors told a Manhattan judge this week that they\u2019ve been unable to reach “Victim 3,” <\/strong>a central figure expected to deliver bombshell testimony against the hip-hop mogul.<\/p>\n

The missing woman, who does not reside in New York, had planned to testify without using a pseudonym and was prepared to detail \u201cvery personal and explosive\u201d abuse she allegedly endured at the hands of Combs, according to the Daily Mail<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Maurene Comey – daughter of former FBI Director James Comey and a member of the prosecution team – informed U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian that efforts (or ‘efforts’) to contact the woman and her lawyer have so far failed.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Prosecutors admitted that if they can\u2019t locate her soon, Victim 3 may not take the stand at all.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Combs\u2019 defense attorney, Teny Geragos, demanded clarity by week\u2019s end, pressing the court for a final decision on whether the witness will be called to testify.<\/p>\n

Two other accusers, identified as Victim 2 and Victim 4, have been cleared to testify under pseudonyms during the upcoming trial.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Combs, 55, faces a mountain of federal charges alleging he ran his businesses like a criminal empire \u2014 orchestrating a slew of serious crimes including kidnapping, arson, bribery, and sex trafficking.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors say the Bad Boy Records founder used his star power and deep pockets to trap young women in nightmarish abuse, including so-called \u201cFreak Offs\u201d \u2014 drug-fueled orgies where women were allegedly coerced into sex acts with male sex workers as Combs recorded the encounters.<\/p>\n

If convicted on all counts, Combs could spend the rest of his life behind bars.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sources say the hip-hop mogul turned down a plea deal from prosecutors last week.<\/p>\n

Jury selection for the blockbuster trial is ongoing, with both sides expected to finalize which jurors they\u2019ll strike from the pool by Friday.<\/p>\n

Stay tuned…<\/p>\n
