Diddy Ex-Girlfriends Testify Sexual Abuse, Trafficking Allegations

Sean "Diddy" Combs is on trial facing federal charges including sex trafficking and racketeering, accused of coercing and violently abusing women over more than a decade. A critical witness, identified only as "Jane," testified to enduring physical abuse such as choking, punching, and being kicked, as well as being forced into sexual encounters known as "Freak Offs" with male escorts, sometimes under the influence of drugs. Jane described a June 2024 incident where Combs violently assaulted her during what was supposed to be a romantic evening, then coerced her to take ecstasy and have sex with a male escort, questioning her with "Is this coercion?" Combs' defense claims the relationships and encounters were consensual, citing texts and emails that show enthusiasm for drug-fueled sexual activities. Jane’s testimony aligns with that of other accusers, including R&B singer Cassie Ventura, highlighting a pattern of abuse and coercion that prosecutors say was part of a larger scheme to profit illegally. The trial is a significant examination of celebrity power and abuse, with Combs pleading not guilty and facing possible life imprisonment if convicted.
