Startling allegations emerged in the sex trafficking trial of Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, with prosecutors claiming the rapper forced a male escort to urinate in the mouth of his ex-girlfriend, singer Cassie Ventura. The accusations were made during opening statements on May 12, following jury selection.
Combs has pleaded not guilty to one count of racketeering conspiracy, two counts of sex trafficking, and two counts of transportation for prostitution.
Assistant US Attorney Emily Johnson detailed alleged incidents at what she described as Diddy’s “freak offs” – elaborate sexual performances involving male sex workers and women reportedly coerced into participation. Johnson claimed that during one such event, Diddy instructed an unnamed escort to urinate in Cassie’s mouth, leaving her feeling as though she was “choking.”
The prosecution also highlighted the 2016 video that surfaced online, appearing to show Diddy assaulting Cassie in a hotel hallway.
Adding to the testimony, a male sex worker, Daniel Phillip, stated he was repeatedly hired and paid up to $6,000 per encounter to have sex with Cassie. He alleged that Combs sometimes directed their interactions or filmed them. Interestingly, Phillip also told jurors that Ventura herself had asked him to urinate on her during one instance, stating, “Cassie was actually the one that asked me to urinate on her… She asked me if I had ever done that before, she told me to do it. Apparently I was doing it wrong, because they both told me.” Phillip expressed his fear of Diddy’s power, saying, “My thoughts were that this was someone with unlimited power. And chances are that, even if I did go to the police, I might still lose my life.”
Last week, Diddy’s legal team indicated they would argue that Cassie engaged in mutual violence during their relationship. Cassie Ventura is expected to testify in the trial.
The founder of Bad Boy Records was arrested in Manhattan on September 16, 2024, and subsequently indicted by prosecutors in the Southern District of New York. He also faces accusations of sexually abusing 120 individuals, including a child.
If convicted on the racketeering charge, Diddy faces a potential life sentence, with an additional minimum of 15 years for the sex trafficking charge.
