Takeaways from Cassie Ventura’s cross-examination in Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ trial
- Cassie Ventura, the prosecution's star witness, testified Tuesday and Wednesday in Sean 'Diddy' Combs' New York racketeering and sex trafficking trial.
- The trial arises from allegations that Combs and his circle used violence, threats, and coercion to force Ventura and others into drug-fueled sex parties called 'Freak Offs'.
- Ventura, pregnant with her third child, testified Combs physically and sexually abused her, assaulted her, and threatened to release degrading videos to control her.
- Combs has pleaded not guilty and could face life in prison, while the defense contends the case centers on jealousy and consensual sex, not a criminal enterprise.
- The court is expediting Ventura's testimony to finish by Friday before her imminent childbirth, and Combs' trial is not televised per federal rules.
