Sean Diddy Combs Faces Intense Testimony in Sex Trafficking Trial in New York

Sean Diddy Combs Faces Intense Testimony in Sex Trafficking Trial in New York

A third alleged victim of Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs returned to the stand on Friday as the hip-hop mogul faces serious sex trafficking and racketeering charges in New York City.

Throughout the trial, Diddy has remained animated, even making remarks to those in the courtroom gallery and to the sketch artist, whom he claimed was making him look like a ‘koala.’

The woman, known under the pseudonym Jane, described enduring drug-fueled sex marathons until Diddy’s arrest in September.

Jane testified that she repeatedly told Diddy, both in person and in writing, that she did not want to have sex with other men.

Despite her refusals, Diddy, who paid her rent and controlled many aspects of her life, kept pressuring her, making her feel ‘obligated,’ she said.

Her testimony began after the judge warned Diddy that he could be expelled from the courtroom for ‘nodding vigorously’ at jurors during the intense cross-examination of another witness.

Diddy, aged 55, has pleaded not guilty to the charges.

His lawyers acknowledge that he could be violent but deny that he used threats or his influence in the music industry to commit abuse.

Explosive Courtroom Moments and Testimonies

On Thursday, Diddy made an unusual comment to courtroom sketch artist Jane Rosenberg, asking her to ‘soften him up’ because she was making him look like a koala bear in her sketches.

Rosenberg, who has been documenting the trial for Reuters, noted that Diddy is not the first high-profile defendant to comment on her drawings.

Past defendants such as Rudy Giuliani and Donald Trump Jr. also made remarks about their courtroom depictions.

Jane’s Emotional Testimony on Drug-Fueled Sex Marathons

Jane told the court that Diddy provided her with large amounts of ecstasy to stay awake during the marathon sex sessions, which sometimes lasted up to 18 hours.

She explained she took multiple doses to endure the lengthy sessions.

When asked if she ever got tired, Jane began sobbing and said yes, but she did not stop because she felt compelled to continue.

Audio Evidence Reveals Condom Dispute During Sex Session

Prosecutors presented audio evidence capturing a moment where Jane asked a male escort named Don to wear a condom.

Diddy entered the room and questioned Don about his preferences, eventually allowing the use of condoms.

However, Jane testified that despite this, she was unable to use condoms during the actual session.

Allegations of Diddy’s Control Over ‘Freak-Off’ Parties

Jane described ‘freak-off’ parties where she was forced to have sex with multiple men as Diddy watched.

She said Diddy did not want the male escorts to wear protection during sex and was dismissive when she asked about condom use.

According to Jane, Diddy’s tone was condescending and he seemed to want her to drop the subject quickly, stating he didn’t want to see ‘a rubber’ while watching.

Courtroom Tensions and Judicial Warnings

Judge Arun Subramanian sternly warned Diddy on Thursday for looking at the jury and nodding during cross-examination of another witness.

The judge called Diddy’s conduct ‘absolutely unacceptable’ and threatened to remove him from the courtroom if it continued.

Defense attorney Marc Agnifilo acknowledged the warning.

Other Allegations and Background in the Case

Bryana ‘Bana’ Bongolan, another accuser, sued Diddy for $10 million in 2024, alleging sexual battery and physical abuse, including being dangled off a 17th-story balcony.

She claimed Diddy force-fed her ecstasy and made violent threats, including stories of threatening other artists and bizarre rumors such as ‘skinning a rival’s dog.’

The Trial’s Progress and Upcoming Testimonies

Jane’s testimony is expected to continue into Monday to accommodate her scheduled trip abroad.

Prosecutors originally planned for her to testify earlier, but delays have extended the trial.

The trial is now in its fifth week, and although prosecutors hoped to finish within six weeks, recent developments suggest it may run longer.

Summary of Courtroom Atmosphere and Diddy’s Appearance

Diddy appeared in court on Friday wearing a dark crew neck sweater, greeting his lawyers with handshakes and hugs.

He seemed pleased with his attorney Nicole Westmoreland’s cross-examination of Bryana Bongolan.

Conclusion

The trial of Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs continues to reveal disturbing testimony and allegations.

As Jane and other witnesses provide detailed accounts, the court and public await the next developments in this high-profile case.

Diddy maintains his innocence as the legal battle unfolds in the New York federal court.
