Sean 'Diddy' Combs’ Lawyer Mocks Sex Trafficking Case in Closing, Calls Charges 'Badly Exaggerated'
- Sean 'Diddy' Combs faced a federal trial in New York on sex trafficking and racketeering charges in June 2025, with jury deliberations set for Monday.
- The case arose after Casandra 'Cassie' Ventura sued Combs for abuse in November 2023, which he settled for $20 million the next day, triggering a federal investigation.
- During the trial, Cassie and another woman testified that Combs pressured them into extended, drug-filled sexual encounters involving male escorts, which he observed, orchestrated, and occasionally recorded.
- Defense lawyer Marc Agnifilo called the prosecution a 'fake trial,' arguing prosecutors exaggerated evidence and twisted Combs' lifestyle, and stated, 'He is innocent' in a four-hour closing.
- If convicted, Combs could face at least 15 years to life in prison, while the trial outcome may influence views on prosecuting high-profile figures in sex trafficking cases.
