Takeaways from Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs trial: Cassie Ventura’s mom and exotic dancer testify

  • Sean 'Diddy' Combs, a 55-year-old music mogul, faces federal sex trafficking charges involving his ex-partner Cassie Ventura and others at a trial in 2025.
  • The charges stem from a decade-long abusive relationship marked by coercive sex parties, threats, and crimes including arson, kidnapping, and bribery.
  • Cassie, 38, and her mother testified about Combs demanding $20,000 to recoup expenses, threats to release explicit videos, and witnessing drug-fueled sex marathons called 'freak-offs.'
  • Sharay Hayes, a stripper who attended the parties, said Cassie showed no discomfort as Combs directed sexual acts while watching, and Combs' defense claims participation was voluntary.
  • Combs has pleaded not guilty and faces life imprisonment if convicted, while the trial also reveals his longstanding wealth and visible aging after months in prison.
