Overview

• Cassie Ventura, identified as 'Victim-1,' will testify under her real name in the federal trial against Sean 'Diddy' Combs, set to begin May 5, 2025.
• Combs faces charges of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution, with allegations spanning over two decades.
• Prosecutors aim to introduce testimony and evidence of past sexual abuse incidents to establish Combs' alleged pattern of coercion and abuse.
• Defense attorneys argue that including decades-old allegations would unfairly prejudice the jury and turn the trial into a 'horror show.'
• Three additional alleged victims will testify anonymously, with prosecutors seeking court measures to protect their identities from public disclosure.
