Overview

• The witness known as Mia testified that Combs sexually assaulted her multiple times between 2009 and 2017, including forced oral sex and non-consensual penetration in his homes.
• She described episodes of extreme violence in which he threw her against walls, hurled objects like a bowl of spaghetti, shoved her into a pool and slammed her arm in a door.
• Mia recounted witnessing a 2013 beating of ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura, describing how Combs slammed Ventura’s head into a bed corner and split her forehead.
• Prosecutors said Mia’s account underpins charges that Combs ran a racketeering enterprise by coercing employees into forced labor and exploitative sexual performances known as “freak-offs.”
• Combs has pleaded not guilty to racketeering, sex trafficking and related charges; his defense acknowledges past abuse but maintains all sexual encounters were consensual.
