Sean “Diddy” Combs’ attorneys mounted a shockingly short defense for the rapper Tuesday at his sex-trafficking trial, taking just minutes to present their case on charges that could land him life in prison.
Also, a spicy trove of new evidence has been released to the public, showing the rapper living large as he receives a massage from a woman and drinks a glass of champagne while riding an exercise bike.
Diddy, 55, is accused of using his fame and fortune to run a decade-long scheme in which he controlled and manipulated his longtime girlfriend, R&B singer Cassie Ventura, 38, and others using violence and threats, forcing them into “freak-off” sex marathons that went on for days.
The rapper has pleaded not guilty to charges of sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution.
The trial is not televised because cameras are prohibited inside the federal courthouse, but we’re there following all the action — so watch this space for live updates.
