Cassie Ventura, in Sean 'Diddy' Combs' sex trafficking trial, continued her testimony detailing alleged sexual coercion, drugging, and physical abuse. Combs' defense attorney cross-examined Ventura, highlighting text messages suggesting Ventura's participation in and planning of sexual encounters, which Ventura described as coerced 'freak-offs'. The defense attempted to portray the relationship as consensual and emphasized Ventura's jealousy over Combs' other relationships. Ventura maintained the acts were non-consensual and driven by fear of Combs' violence. The defense acknowledged Combs' violent behavior in a 2016 video but didn't directly connect it to drug withdrawal.
