Dawn Richard, a former Bad Boy Records artist, testified in Sean Combs' sex-trafficking and racketeering trial, corroborating claims of Combs' abuse of Cassie Ventura. Richard described a 2009 incident where Combs allegedly assaulted Ventura after a dispute over eggs. Richard's testimony, which detailed physical violence and subsequent threats, supports Ventura's prior account. The testimony concluded early, with Richard to continue on Monday. Combs denies all allegations; if convicted, he faces life imprisonment.
