Cassie Ventura to Testify Against Sean 'Diddy' Combs in Federal Trial

Ventura will use her name in court as prosecutors seek to introduce evidence of decades-long sexual abuse allegations.

Cassie Ventura, identified as 'Victim-1,' will testify under her name in Sean 'Diddy' Combs' federal trial starting May 5, with three other alleged victims testifying anonymously.
Prosecutors aim to introduce evidence of past sexual assaults by Combs to establish a pattern of coercive and abusive behavior, despite objections from his legal team.
Combs faces charges of racketeering, sex trafficking, and transportation for prostitution, with allegations spanning over two decades, including claims of orchestrating drug-fueled 'freak off' parties.
Combs' legal team is contesting the inclusion of historical allegations, arguing they are prejudicial and unrelated to the current charges.
The trial will address broader societal debates on handling historical abuse allegations in courtrooms, particularly in high-profile cases involving powerful figures.
