Overview
- Cassie Ventura, a key witness in the trial, testified about years of physical and emotional abuse by Sean 'Diddy' Combs, including being forced into sexual acts with others while he watched.
- Prosecutors presented video evidence from 2016 showing Combs physically assaulting Ventura in a hotel, corroborating her claims of violence.
- Ventura described being coerced into participating in orchestrated sex parties, referred to as 'Freak Offs,' where drugs were used to subdue participants.
- Combs' defense has acknowledged instances of domestic violence but denies allegations of sex trafficking, arguing all acts were consensual.
- The trial, expected to last eight to ten weeks, involves an anonymous jury and could result in a life sentence for Combs if convicted on all charges.
