Sean Combs trial: Takeaways from testimony

  • Sean 'Diddy' Combs faces closing arguments on June 26, 2025, in his New York federal trial for sex trafficking, racketeering, and prostitution charges.
  • Combs was arrested in September 2024 after prosecutors alleged he ran a criminal enterprise coercing victims into drug-fueled, prolonged sex parties called 'freak offs.'
  • Key witnesses, including former girlfriends Cassie Ventura and 'Jane,' testified Combs forced them to participate in these 'freak offs' despite their reluctance.
  • Prosecutors presented videos, texts, and photos of injuries; jurors saw hotel security footage of Combs abusing Ventura alongside evidence of weapons and over 1,000 bottles of lubricant.
  • The defense argued Combs' conduct involved consenting adults and denied criminal conspiracy by staff, with closing arguments expected to last several hours before jury deliberations.
