Cassie, Mother Testify in Diddy Abuse Trial

Sean 'Diddy' Combs is on trial in New York facing federal racketeering and sex trafficking charges, with new testimony from Cassie Ventura and her mother, Regina Ventura, who described years of abuse, threats, and a payment to Combs after intimidation. Photographs of Cassie's injuries and evidence from Combs' hotel room, including drugs and cash, have been presented to support the prosecution's case. A male dancer testified about orchestrated sexual acts involving Cassie and Combs, while Combs' former assistant detailed being forced to procure drugs and witnessing Combs arm himself against Suge Knight. The defense has denied all allegations but opted not to cross-examine some witnesses, including Cassie's mother. The trial continues to reveal allegations of violence, manipulation, and criminal enterprise. Combs maintains his not guilty plea to all charges.
