Who's expected to testify in Sean "Diddy" Combs' trial?
Read Original Source
Sean "Diddy" Combs' sex trafficking and racketeering trial continues in New York City. His ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura wrapped up her testimony Friday after four days on the stand. The hip-hop mogul is accused of running a criminal enterprise since at least 2004 that manipulated women into participating in commercial sex acts with him, and sometimes male sex workers, during what prosecutors described as drug-fueled parties called "freak offs.
AI Summary
Main Idea: Sean “Diddy” Combs’ New York criminal trial is moving forward as prosecutors build their case around sex trafficking and abuse claims, with Cassie Ventura already finished testifying.
Key Points:

- Jurors have already heard from a hotel security manager, a man who said he was hired to have sex with Ventura, a federal agent, and Dawn Richard.
- Prosecutors are focusing on allegations they say have physical evidence or witness support, while other accusers are expected to testify under pseudonyms.
- Combs denies all charges, and his lawyers say the relationships were consensual and describe the hotel video as part of a long, complicated romance.
