Several Diddy Lawsuit Accusers Might Attend Mogul's S***Trafficking Trial

"Diddy is already facing off with prosecutors in his s***trafficking trial that kicked off Monday in an NYC courtroom ... but he may also have to stare down several accusers who have filed civil lawsuits against him, TMZ has learned.

Florida-based attorney Ariel Mitchell -- who represents 3 of Diddy's alleged victims in civil cases and potentially a fourth -- says she might fly up to the Big Apple to attend the music mogul's federal criminal trial ... with her clients."

"As you know, Diddy is on trial for allegedly committing a slew of crimes, including racketeering, s***trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution.

He's also accused of forcing women to engage in "Freak Offs" ... marathon s***sessions that include male s***workers, according to federal prosecutors.

Mitchell tells TMZ ... “The clients I represent, including Mrs. Sara Rivers, Ms. Ashley Parham, Ms. LaTroya Grayson and my soon to be filed fourth client, a male, intend to possibly attend the criminal trial of Mr. Combs."
