Cassie Ventura is being grilled by her ex-boyfriend Sean “Diddy” Combs’ lawyers in his federal sex-trafficking trial in Manhattan on Thursday.
The defense is likely to spend several hours, if not days, trying to catch the pregnant R&B singer in lies, attack her character and poke holes in her story — after she spent an emotional two days on the witness stand recounting in painstaking detail how Diddy allegedly raped her, brutally beat her, forced her to have drug-fueled sex with strangers during “hundreds” of “freak-offs,” and manipulated her by threatening to release “humiliating” sex tapes.
Combs, 55, has pleaded not guilty to one count of racketeering conspiracy, two counts of sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion, and two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution.
He faces life in prison if convicted.
The trial is not televised because cameras are prohibited inside the federal courthouse — so watch this space for all the latest updates.
