Diddy’s Ex Cassie Ventura to Testify Using Her Real Name in Sex Trafficking Trial; DEETs

Cassie Ventura plans to provide testimony against her former partner, Sean ‘Diddy’, during his upcoming court trial on charges of sex trafficking. Instead of testifying anonymously, she intends to use her actual name in the proceedings.

As stated in a document submitted on April 4th, Ventura was referred to as “Victim-1” and is expected to testify using her real name. Meanwhile, three other individuals, labeled Victims 2, 3, and 4, have requested that their identities remain confidential. The prosecution has petitioned the court to shield these individuals’ names from being disclosed during the trial, as reported by People magazine.

Cassie’s choice to make her stand public is noteworthy, given the extensive media coverage surrounding this high-profile case. Diddy is set to stand trial on charges such as racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and transporting individuals across state lines for prostitution. His trial commences in New York City on May 5th.

2023 saw Cassie filing a civil lawsuit against Diddy for alleged abuse over many years, which was subsequently settled. However, in 2024, CNN unveiled hotel surveillance footage from 2016 that reportedly depicts Diddy physically attacking Cassie. Authorities claim this video serves as crucial evidence, substantiating Cassie’s allegations of violence and manipulation.

Combs’ legal team has disputed the authenticity of the video, asserting that CNN doctored the footage. They argue it was manipulated to distort the sequence and severity of the event. On the other hand, Cassie’s lawyer insists the video is genuine and should be shown to the jury. The recent indictment has expanded charges against a second victim, with allegations that Diddy employed deceit, threats, and force to attract and control women into what authorities call “freak offs” – events described as organized sex encounters where participants were allegedly pressured to take part.

Diddy, also known as Sean Combs, is currently being held at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges and continues to deny all allegations against him. However, he now faces more than 60 lawsuits related to sexual misconduct. Cassie’s choice to testify publicly in court is anticipated to be crucial during the upcoming trial. The courtroom is preparing for a emotionally charged and potentially dramatic series of testimonies when the hearings commence in May.
