Recently released images by investigators show the findings from a raid at Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ Los Angeles residence.
The ongoing trial aims to provide a comprehensive picture of the rapper’s personal life and associations.
Combs, aged 55, was taken into custody last September in New York and has been incarcerated since.
The charges against him include racketeering and sex trafficking through force, fraud, or coercion, all of which he denies.
Prior to his arrest, Homeland Security Investigators conducted raids on his Miami and Los Angeles properties, capturing images of their discoveries.
On June 19, federal prosecutors unveiled a new set of photographs, as the trial took a pause for the Juneteenth holiday.
The March 2024 raid on Combs’ mansion in the Holmby Hills neighborhood of Los Angeles yielded these images.
During a recent trial session, Homeland Security Investigations agent Andre Lamon testified about discovering ‘hundreds’ of bottles of baby oil and lubricant at the property.
Lamon reported finding 200 bottles of baby oil and 900 bottles of Astroglide in Combs’ residence.
The evidence also included bags of drugs, later identified as ketamine, and bottles of baby oil neatly arranged in display cases.
Prosecutors allege these drugs were utilized during Combs’ purported ‘freak off’ parties.
Photographed during the raid was also an arsenal of weapons, including AR-15 style rifles, pistols, and pump shotguns.
Defense attorney Marc Agnifilo, during cross-examination, asserted that these firearms were secured in a security office.
Damien Williams, the US Attorney for the Southern District of New York, claimed Combs used ’embarrassing and sensitive recordings he made of freak offs’ as leverage against his victims.
In a September 2024 press conference, Williams stated: “He maintained control over the victims in several ways, including by giving them drugs, by giving and threatening to take away financial support or housing, by promising them career opportunities, by monitoring their whereabouts and even by dictating their physical appearance.”
Agnifilo argued that the large quantities of baby oil and lube were due to Combs purchasing in bulk and engaging in consensual activities.
The trial resumes today (June 20).
