Prosecutors Want Judge to End Defense Questioning of Cassie on Friday in Sean 'Diddy' Combs Trial

  • Sean 'Diddy' Combs faces a sex trafficking and racketeering trial in a Manhattan courtroom in May 2025, with R&B singer Cassie testifying against him.
  • The trial stems from a law enforcement investigation initiated after numerous legal complaints, including Cassie's 2023 lawsuit alleging prolonged physical and sexual abuse by Combs.
  • Cassie testified that Combs forced her into drug-fueled sex parties, raped her in 2018 after their breakup, and threatened to release videos to maintain control over her.
  • Defense lawyers portrayed Cassie as a willing participant by having her read messages expressing enthusiasm for group sex, while Combs denies criminal conduct and insists all sex was consensual.
  • Prosecutors want to end Cassie's cross-examination on Friday due to her advanced pregnancy and risks of mistrial, while Judge Subramanian allowed defense five hours to question her that day.
