Diddy Faces Sex Trafficking, Racketeering Allegations in Trial

Sean 'Diddy' Combs is on trial in Manhattan, facing federal charges of sex trafficking and racketeering, with former assistant 'Mia' testifying that he sexually assaulted her multiple times and subjected her to physical and psychological abuse during her eight-year employment. Mia described being forced into sexual acts, deprived of sleep, and cleaning up after disturbing encounters known as 'freak offs,' sometimes involving his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura, who also accused Combs of abuse and coercion. Both Mia and Ventura testified to suffering injuries and living in fear, believing Combs' power protected him from consequences. Prosecutors allege Combs ran a decades-long criminal enterprise based on abuse, coercion, and intimidation. Combs has pleaded not guilty, with his legal team asserting all encounters were consensual. If convicted, Combs could face a life sentence.
