In the ongoing trial of Sean Combs, commonly known as Diddy, a prosecutor has claimed that he forced his former girlfriend, Cassie, to participate in a ‘freak-off’ involving urine.
Diddy was indicted by a grand jury after being arrested at the Park Hyatt hotel in Manhattan last September.
Since his arrest, the 55-year-old has remained in jail, and observers have noted his hair turning gray during the eight months of his confinement.
In court today, prosecutor Emily A. Johnson described how Casandra Ventura, also known as Cassie, engaged in a particular ‘freak-off’ because of her feelings for Combs.
Johnson informed the jurors: “She knew it was not something she wanted to do.”
She went on to recount an episode in the ‘freak-off’ where Cassie reportedly ‘felt like she was choking’ after Combs allegedly ‘made an escort urinate into her mouth’.
Johnson indicated that Cassie is prepared to testify before the jurors regarding the incident, in which Combs is purported to have compelled her to engage in sexual activities with male escorts while he pleasured himself and recorded it on video.
Cassie and Combs were intermittently involved for over ten years, officially dating from 2007, following two years of professional collaboration.
At the age of 19, Cassie was signed by Diddy, who was 37 at the time and owned Bad Boy Records.
The couple parted ways permanently in October 2018, amid accusations that Combs had raped Cassie earlier that year. Shortly after these allegations, which included rape and sex trafficking, they reached a settlement.
Combs faces charges of racketeering and sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion, all of which he denies.
The indictment accuses Combs and his associates of using his prominence at the Combs Business as leverage to intimidate, threaten, and draw female victims into his sphere, often under the guise of a romantic involvement.
The document further claims that with the ‘assistance of members and associates’, Combs ‘transported commercial sex workers across state lines and internationally’, using ‘force, threats of force, and coercion, to cause victims to engage in extended sex acts with male commercial sex workers that Combs referred to as “freak offs”‘.
