Overview

  • Jane testified that her final meeting with Combs in August 2024 was “okay” despite years of alleged violence, coercion and forced participation in multi-day “Freak-Off” sex parties.
  • Prosecutors emphasized Jane’s financial reliance on Combs, detailing how he paid her rent and legal fees and threatened to release compromising material if she resisted.
  • Defense attorneys challenged her credibility by presenting affectionate text messages she sent to Combs and questioning whether her feelings undercut claims of coercion.
  • The court moved to replace Juror No. 6 after prosecutors alleged he had undisclosed biases, a request the judge approved over defense objections to preserve impartiality.
  • Earlier testimony from Cassie Ventura and other witnesses recounted systematic sexual abuse, organized trafficking and physical violence that prosecutors say illustrate a broader criminal network.
