Overview

• Combs faces five federal counts—one racketeering conspiracy count, two sex trafficking counts and two transportation-to-engage-in-prostitution counts—that carry a potential life sentence if convicted.
• Testimony under the pseudonym “Jane” described a “love contract” in which Combs paid her rent and, she said, compelled her to host ‘hotel nights’ with male escorts.
• Defense attorney Teny Geragos probed her resentment over gifts Combs gave to other women and her decision to delete social media posts showing him.
• Combs’ lawyers have sought to undermine her account by pointing to previously positive texts she sent and highlighting inconsistencies during cross-examination.
• A federal judge rejected Combs’ second motion for a mistrial after his team argued that the prosecution knowingly presented false testimony.
