Overview

• A witness known only as “Jane” testified that between 2021 and 2024 Combs drugged her and forced her into paid sexual encounters with other men during so-called “hotelnights.”
• Bryana Bongolan earlier recounted a 2016 incident in Cassie Ventura’s Los Angeles apartment where Combs held her over a 17th-floor balcony for about 15 seconds and then threw her against furniture.
• Judge Arun Subramanian sharply admonished Combs for repeatedly seeking eye contact and nodding to jurors and warned he could be ejected from the courtroom for jury tampering.
• Prosecutors allege Combs operated a criminal enterprise involving sex trafficking, intimidation of victims, and efforts to conceal evidence, including paying $100,000 to destroy a video of an assault.
• Combs’ defense team has challenged the credibility of key witnesses by pointing to inconsistencies in their accounts and questioning their motives and recollections under cross-examination.
