Testimony in the Sean “Diddy” Combs sex trafficking trial has opened a window into what prosecutors say was the sordid world of group sex, drugs and violence beneath his glittering, jet-set persona.

Casandra Ventura had testified that Mr. Combs physically coerced her into “freak-offs,” but defense lawyers tried to suggest that jealousy and drug use caused his aggression.

Sean “Diddy” Combs was arrested in September 2024 and charged with racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion, and transportation to engage in prostitution. He has pleaded not guilty.
