During Sean “Diddy” Combs’ sex trafficking trial, exotic dancer Sharay Hayes testified about his experiences working with Combs and his then-girlfriend, Casandra “Cassie” Ventura. Hayes revealed he recognized Combs when he saw his name on the hotel suite’s television welcome screen, and described the unusual setup of their meetings. Additionally, Cassie’s mother presented evidence of threats and injuries sustained by Cassie, claiming Combs demanded $20,000 from her, which she felt compelled to pay due to fears for her daughter’s safety; Combs has pleaded not guilty to the charges against him.
