Cassie’s graphic testimony of ‘freak offs’ may set the stage for what’s to come in Diddy’s trial

During Sean “Diddy” Combs’ federal sex trafficking trial, his former girlfriend Cassie Ventura detailed a tumultuous and abusive relationship lasting over a decade, where she was coerced into paid sexual encounters known as “freak offs.” Testifying for four days, she recounted graphic incidents of violence and sexual exploitation, including a 2018 rape and threats of blackmail involving explicit videos. Her testimony is critical for the prosecution’s case against Combs, who faces serious charges, as jurors must decide if her experiences constituted coercion under federal law.
