Day 2 of Sean ‘Diddy' Combs sex trafficking trial with allegations & more: What to expect

Rapper Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is facing a number of charges in his two-month long court trial that is currently taking place in New York City.

Through this, the prosecution aims to uncover his two-decade long alleged racketeering, and sex trafficking activities.

What are the Charges against Diddy?

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is currently facing over five felony count charges for his “Freak Off” parties, they all carry almost 25 years in prison for racketeering, 15-to life for sex trafficking and also 10 years for a count of transportation to engage in position.

In order to have the charges stick a unanimous vote must take place between all 12 jurors present.

The Prosecution’s Claims Against Diddy:

The prosecution allegds that Diddy’s Freak Offs happened during a two-decade long timeframe, and in those moment he ‘lured’ women to his parties using financial support, and romance as promises, according to Reuters. However, he then used coercive means to force them into ‘drug-feuled sexual performances’, i.e. his Freak Offs.

Allegations also go as far as to accuse him of using drugs to keep his victims ‘obedient, but also state that he would kidnap people at gunpoint as well, choke them, drag them etc.

Evidence to these claims were uncovered in the form of 1,000 bottles of baby oil and assault rifles.

What Is Diddy Saying in his Defense?

The main defense being used by Diddy is that his “swinger” lifestyle was in no way illegal.

Per the outlet, “Combs’ lawyers have signaled they intend to argue the women had financial incentives to falsely accuse him of abuse and say they have evidence the accusers were not candid with investigators.”

But “prosecutors plan to show the jury a hotel surveillance video showing Combs kicking and dragging one of his accusers in a hallway, but Combs’ lawyers say the video, first published by CNN, was edited to look as damning as possible and lacks context.”

Who are the Witnesses in the Diddy Trial?

The main accuser is Diddy’s former girlfriend Casandra Ventura, who goes by ‘Cassie’ but there are three more who will do so under pseudonyms, for their own privacy.

It is also pertinent to mention that there is no news at the moment relating to Diddy’s possible testimony.
