Opening statements have begun in Sean “Diddy” Combs’ six trafficking trial, and arguments by both sides revealed that allegations made by Cassie and an unnamed Jane Doe will be the primary focus of the trial.
“This is Sean Combs,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Emily Johnson began on Monday, May 12, after the jury was finalized. “But there is another side to him. A side that ran a criminal enterprise … but he didn’t do it alone.”
The prosecution alleged that Diddy, 55, once “brutally” beat Cassie, 38, after allegedly finding out she’d been seeing another man and threatened her with videos of her having six with other men. “That’s not the only time he kidnapped someone,” Johnson continued. “That’s not the first girlfriend he sixually assaulted.”
Johnson went on to claim that Diddy’s bodyguards and chief of staff “committed crimes together, and they covered up those crimes,” adding, “This case is not about a celebrity’s private sixual choices.”
The attorney noted that details about Cassie and Jane Doe’s allegations “may be hard to hear” before noting, “These two women will be the main focuses of the trial.”
Johnson later addressed Diddy’s now-infamous freak offs, claiming they happened as often as once a week “and took place over multiple days at a time.”
According to Johnson, Cassie once overdosed at a freak off where a participant u--nated in her mouth. “She tried the first freak off because she loved the defendant and wanted to make him happy,” the lawyer continued. Jane Doe, meanwhile, allegedly believed the freak off she attended was a “one-time wild night.”
After Johnson’s statement, Diddy’s attorney Teny Geragos presented the defense’s opening argument, saying, “Sean Combs is a complicated man, but this is not a complicated case.”
Geragos claimed no witness will be able to back up the government’s racketeering charges because there was no racketeering conspiracy, but she admitted that her client has a history of violence.
"Sean Combs had a temper, and when he took drugs, he would get violent. My client is not proud of that,” she said. “We take full responsibility that there is domestic violence in this case. Domestic violence is not six trafficking.”
She added that the jury will hear about Diddy’s “love of baby oil” before saying, “But is that a federal crime? No.”
Geragos also addressed Cassie and Jane Doe’s allegations, claiming, “Every witness in this case had free choice to make the choices they made.”
