The start of Sean “Diddy” Combs’ sex trafficking trial faced a delay due to a juror’s vertigo. The proceedings will resume after a break for the Juneteenth holiday, pushing the timeline for the prosecutors to rest their case to Monday.
During Combs’ federal racketeering and sex trafficking trial, new insights into the rap mogul emerged. Court presentations included text messages revealing a list of Combs’ favorite sermons, labeled “PD’s Favorite Sermons,” originating from a YouTube account named “Assistants PD” and surfaced while Jane Doe was testifying.
Moreover, revelations from a civil sex trafficking lawsuit against Combs introduced his chief of staff, Kristina Khorram, as being referred to as “the Ghislaine Maxwell to Combs’ Jeffrey Epstein.”
Prosecutors allege Combs forced Cassie Ventura to take part in so-called “freak-offs,” while the defense claims she participated voluntarily. Jurors again watched footage of Combs’ drug-fueled sex parties, with the defense showing longer clips than the prosecution.
