Combs’s bid to suspend the trial was rebuffed following prosecutors’ presentation of graphic testimony on his alleged violence within a broader coercion network.

Overview

  • Deonte Nash testified that Combs violently attacked Cassie Ventura in her Los Angeles apartment, inflicting a head wound that required stitches and coercing her into 'Freak-Off' sex parties.
  • A fire investigator and an NYPD officer corroborated that Combs’s vehicle was identified near Kid Cudi’s home and that a Molotov cocktail destroyed Cudi’s Porsche.
  • The indictment accuses Combs of sex trafficking, extortion, coercion and operating an organized-crime network that drugged and exploited participants in his exclusive 'Freak-Off' parties.
  • Searches of Combs’s properties uncovered illegal drugs, unregistered weapons and over 1,000 bottles of lubricant, which prosecutors say underscore the organized-crime allegations.
  • Combs’s defense maintains that all relationships were consensual and continues to contest that his actions amount to criminal conduct.
