The alleged victim testifying under the pseudonym “Jane,” a central figure in the government’s second sex trafficking count against Sean Diddy Combs, is expected to tell the jury starting today that he allegedly used lies, drugs and threats to force her into participating in so-called “freak-off” sexual encounters, ABC News reports.
According to prosecutors, “Jane” initially agreed to one “freak-off,” thinking it would make Sean Diddy Combs happy and help turn what began as a secret relationship with him into something more meaningful. Instead, she “spent years in hotel rooms for forced sex,” according to prosecutor Emily Johnson.
“’Jane’ will tell you about those nights in detail, how she wanted the escorts to wear condoms but many times the defendant did not let them. And Jane will tell you how he had her take drugs to stay awake and aroused for days,” Johnson previously told the court.
“Jane’s” testimony will follow that of Bryana Bongolan, whose cross-examination will continue when court resumes at 11 a.m. ET.
Bongolan, a friend of Cassie Ventura’s, Combs’ ex-girlfriend, testified Wednesday that Combs allegedly dangled her from Ventura’s 17th floor balcony while yelling, “You know what the f— you did.”
Sean Diddy Combs, who denies the allegation, shook his head during Bongolan’s testimony.
During their cross-examination Wednesday, the defense asserted that Bongolan’s testimony differed from how she described the alleged incident in a 2024 civil lawsuit that seeks $10 million in damages.
Bongolan on Wednesday also testified during cross-examination that Rob Holladay, a music producer close to Combs, called her on behalf of Combs to discuss a settlement. During a sidebar, prosecutors said Holladay offered Bongolan $1 million not to go public with her claim.
