Sean "Diddy" Combs’ racketeering and sex trafficking trial commenced, focusing on allegations of coercion and violence against two main accusers, Cassie Ventura and "Jane." The prosecution detailed years of alleged abuse, including physical assaults, drug-fueled sexual encounters ("Freak Offs"), and the use of videos as blackmail. The defense acknowledged Combs' violent past and domestic abuse but argued that the "Freak Offs" were consensual. The trial includes graphic testimony and video evidence, with witnesses describing violent incidents and sexual acts. The jury saw surveillance footage of Combs assaulting Ventura. The defense questioned the accusers' motives, suggesting financial gain and jealousy. The jury selection process concluded, resulting in a panel of twelve jurors and six alternates.
