Cassie Testifies Against Diddy in New York Sex Trafficking Trial

Sean 'Diddy' Combs is on trial in New York facing charges of sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, and related offenses, which he denies. His ex-girlfriend, singer Cassie Ventura, has testified extensively about the abuse she suffered during their relationship, describing frequent violence, including being dragged and beaten, and participating in drug-fueled sex parties called 'freak offs' out of fear and a desire to please him. Cassie detailed how Diddy's control extended over many aspects of her life and how she felt unable to refuse his demands due to threats and blackmail. Prosecutors allege that Combs used his power in the hip-hop industry to operate a criminal enterprise forcing women into sexual exploitation over two decades. The trial features disturbing testimony and evidence, including surveillance footage and witness accounts, highlighting the alleged abuse and coercion. Combs faces mandatory prison time if convicted on all counts, with the case drawing significant media attention to the allegations against the hip-hop mogul.
