Jurors in Sean “Diddy” Combs’ sex trafficking trial were shown three “freak off” sex tapes provided to the state by Cassie Ventura. Combs’ mother, sister, and three sons were in the courtroom as his ex-girlfriend described the orgies. Jurors cringed, and some turned their heads. The gallery could not view the videos. Jurors watched them on small monitors with headphones.
In other testimony, Ananya Sankar, a paralegal specialist with the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York, said she reviewed the accuracy of government charts summarizing exhibits. The charts show the jury text messages and other information that have not been discussed in testimony but were submitted into evidence.
Among the evidence were texts between Combs’ staff planning “hotel nights.” The messages included conversations between Diddy, Cassie, Khorram, and other staff discussing how to get $4,000 in cash to the hotel. Khorram told assistant Dave Shirley, “Heads up, he’s probably about to do wild king tonight.” Shirley replied, “…need to reup on baby oil.” The jury also saw a text from Khorram to Cassie that read, “Hi, Dave is at your door with the green.”
Prosecutors said they expect to rest their case as early as Wednesday.
