The federal sex trafficking trial against Sean “Diddy” Combs just started—and the opening statements are already wild.
According to The Sun, prosecutors claim that during one of Diddy’s so-called “Freak Off” parties, he forced a male escort to pee into the mouth of his then-girlfriend Cassie Ventura while she was choking. Yeah, you read that right. The alleged incident is just one part of a much bigger case that paints a disturbing picture of abuse, manipulation, and control.
Federal prosecutors say Diddy ran a decades-long operation using his money and influence to trap women in abusive, drug-fueled situations. Cassie is expected to take the stand and testify about years of alleged abuse, including beatings and blackmail involving explicit videos, according to New York Post.
Diddy’s legal team isn’t denying everything—they admit he had issues with violence and substance abuse. But they’re pushing back hard on the trafficking and coercion claims. His lawyers say everything that happened was between consenting adults in a “swinger” lifestyle, and they’re accusing the government of building its case on exaggerations and money-hungry motives, per Vulture.
This trial is expected to last for weeks and could get even messier as more witnesses and video evidence come forward. If Diddy is convicted, he could face life in prison.
Stay tuned, because this is one case that’s got the entire industry watching.
