Diddy sex trafficking trial: Cassie concludes explosive testimony
After four days of gripping testimony, Casandra « Cassie » Ventura concluded her appearance in Sean « Diddy » Combs’ sex trafficking trial, alleging rape, coercion into sex acts, and years of abuse during their 11-year relationship. Prosecutors argue Ventura was forced into « Freak Offs » with male sex workers—a key claim in their sex trafficking case.
Combs, who denies all charges including racketeering and prostitution-related offenses, faces a pivotal trial that could last weeks. His defense maintains the encounters were consensual.
Ventura, eight months pregnant, left court Friday as prosecutors called FBI Agent Yasin Binda and singer Dawn Richard to testify next week.
Outside court, her husband, Alex Fine, delivered a powerful statement: « Cassie saved Cassie, » he said, praising her resilience against « abuse, coercion, and threats. » He denied being her « savior, » crediting her strength for breaking free.
« Her life is now filled with love, » he added, announcing their family would seek privacy ahead of their son’s birth.
The trial continues Monday as the prosecution builds its case against the hip-hop mogul.
