Sean "Diddy" Combs is set to stand trial on sex-trafficking charges in May, but the rapper could face additional charges in the case.

A New York federal judge set a May 5 start date for Combs's trial at a hearing Thursday, where prosecutors in the Manhattan U.S. attorney's office said they may bring a new indictment with additional charges against him. "Our investigation is very much ongoing," Assistant U.S. Attorney Emily Johnson told U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian.

Johnson said that the case involved massive amounts of data and records from more than 90 electronic devices that were seized from Combs and his residences in Miami and Los Angeles. The prosecutor and Combs's lawyers told the judge that they estimated the trial would take about four weeks.

The Manhattan U.S. attorney's office charged Combs in September with operating a long-running sex-trafficking enterprise. Prosecutors said he forced victims into participating in daylong sex parties that he dubbed " freak offs." His victims were plied with drugs and some feared losing his financial assistance if they didn't participate, according to prosecutors.

Combs, who faces three counts, including a racketeering conspiracy, has pleaded not guilty. His lawyers have said the alleged sex acts in the indictment involved consenting adults. Dressed in beige jail garb, Combs smiled and embraced his lawyers when he entered the courtroom Thursday.
