Prosecutors in the sex trafficking trial involving Sean “Diddy” Combs have alleged that the rapper once forced a male escort to urinate in the mouth of his ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura.
Opening statements began on May 12, following the conclusion of jury selection.
Combs previously pleaded not guilty to charges, including one count of racketeering conspiracy, two counts of sex trafficking, and two counts of transporting individuals for prostitution.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Emily Johnson claimed the incident occurred during one of Diddy’s infamous parties, known as “freak offs.”
These “freak offs” were reportedly elaborate, orchestrated sexual events involving male escorts and women who were allegedly coerced or forced to participate.
Johnson claimed it was at one of such parties Diddy forced the unnamed escort to urinate in Cassie’s mouth after which she said she “felt like she was choking”.
The prosecution also referenced a 2016 video that surfaced online, allegedly showing Diddy kicking, hitting, and dragging Cassie in a hotel hallway.
In addition, male escort Daniel Phillip testified that he was repeatedly hired and paid to have sex with Cassie, claiming he received up to $6,000 per encounter.
He stated that Combs would sometimes direct the encounters or record them.
According to people, Phillip also told jurors that Ventura even asked him to urinate on her.
If found guilty of the racketeering charge, Diddy might confront a life sentence. Another conviction for sex trafficking comes with a mandatory minimum of 15 years.
