US EditionDiddy defense not expected to call any witnesses in sex trafficking trial
NEW YORK CITY, JUN 24 – The defense’s decision to rest without calling witnesses follows prosecution’s presentation of 34 witnesses and extensive evidence in the high-profile sex trafficking and racketeering case.
- Sean "Diddy" Combs faces federal sex trafficking and racketeering charges in a trial that began last month in New York City.
- The allegations allege Combs coerced women into nonconsensual sex performances called "freak offs" during his decade-long relationships, supported by testimony from former partners like Jane and Ventura.
- Prosecutors presented 34 witnesses and strong evidence including surveillance and testimony from Kid Cudi, while Combs' defense will not call any witnesses and he will not testify.
- Jane described hotel nights lasting up to 3.5 days with multiple men, alleged refusal by Combs to use condoms, and feeling obligated due to financial dependence, while Ventura testified about abuse and coercion.
- The case is expected to go to the jury later this week, with possible life imprisonment for Combs if convicted, and mistrial requests having been denied so far.
