US EditionDiddy Trial: Dawn Richard Will Testify This Week After Cassie Ventura’s Testimony Concludes
- Sean 'Diddy' Combs, a 55-year-old hip-hop mogul, is on trial in Manhattan federal court in May 2025 on sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation charges.
- The trial follows allegations from Cassie Ventura, Combs' 11-year partner until 2018, who testified to years of physical and sexual abuse and drug-fueled sex parties called 'freak-offs'.
- Cassie Ventura spent four days sharing her testimony about the violent abuse she endured, including being raped by Combs in 2018, while Dawn Richard, who was once part of the group Danity Kane, also began detailing the abuse she witnessed in 2009.
- The trial could last two months, Combs has pleaded not guilty, and if convicted, faces 15 years to life in prison; Ventura settled a related civil suit for $20 million in 2023.
- Combs denies all allegations, while ongoing testimony from Ventura, Richard, and other witnesses suggests prosecutors aim to prove systematic abuse and coercion over two decades.
