Overview
- Sean 'Diddy' Combs is on trial in Manhattan federal court, facing charges of sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation for prostitution, with a potential life sentence under RICO statutes.
- Prosecutors allege that Combs orchestrated coercive 'Freak Off' sex parties involving heavy drug use and recovery IV treatments for participants.
- Former reality star Ash Armand, currently serving an 8-to-20-year sentence for manslaughter, is named as one of the male sex workers involved in these events.
- Court exhibits include texts suggesting Combs's ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, played a role in planning the 'Freak Off' encounters.
- Combs remains detained at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn and has pleaded not guilty, as defense witnesses contest claims of nonconsent.
