Diddy Faces Kidnapping, Abuse Testimony in Sex Trafficking Trial

At Sean 'Diddy' Combs' ongoing sex trafficking and racketeering trial, former assistant Capricorn Clark delivered harrowing testimony describing a pattern of abuse and threats by Combs. Clark recounted being threatened with death on her first day and later kidnapped at gunpoint by Combs and his bodyguard to confront rapper Kid Cudi over his relationship with Combs' then-girlfriend Cassie Ventura. She also testified about being accused of stealing jewelry, forced to take lie detector tests under threats of being thrown into the East River, and enduring extreme stress that led to alopecia. Clark's testimony underscores allegations of Combs' violent control tactics, particularly towards Cassie, who has accused him of physical and sexual abuse. The defense denies any kidnapping or criminal conspiracy, asserting that relationships were consensual and legal. This testimony contributes to the prosecution's case that Combs led a long-running racketeering conspiracy involving intimidation and abuse.
