​In the "Reply Memorandum of Law in Further Support of Defendant Sean Combs’s Motion to Dismiss Count Three of the Superseding Indictment," Combs's legal team argues for the dismissal of the charge related to the Mann Act, which pertains to the transportation of individuals for prostitution. They assert that this statute, historically known as the White-Slave Traffic Act of 1910, has racist origins and has been disproportionately used to target Black men, citing past controversial prosecutions of figures like boxer Jack Johnson and musician Chuck Berry. Combs's attorneys contend that he is being unfairly singled out because of his status as a powerful Black man, facing prosecution for actions that typically go unpunished in others.

Furthermore, the defense highlights the statute's historical misuse and argues that its application in this case is unjust. They emphasize that the Mann Act's origins are rooted in racial discrimination and that its enforcement has often been racially biased. By invoking this historical context, Combs's legal team seeks to demonstrate that the current charge under this statute is both inappropriate and discriminatory, warranting its dismissal to ensure a fair and just legal process.
