A juror’s vertigo halted another day of Sean “Diddy” Combs’ sex trafficking trial before it began. The trial will resume Friday after a break for the Juneteenth holiday on Thursday. Prosecutors had planned to rest their case this week after presenting evidence over six weeks, but the delay means they likely won’t finish until Monday.
Combs’ federal racketeering and sex trafficking trial has revealed new details about the disgraced rap mogul. Text messages introduced in court included a surprising item: a list of his favorite sermons. Titled “PD’s Favorite Sermons,” the list was compiled by a YouTube account called “Assistants PD” and surfaced during Jane Doe’s testimony.
Another revelation came from one of the civil sex trafficking lawsuits against Combs, which describes his chief of staff, Kristina Khorram, as “the Ghislaine Maxwell to Combs’ Jeffrey Epstein.”
Prosecutors allege Combs forced Cassie Ventura to take part in so-called “freak-offs,” while the defense claims she participated voluntarily. Jurors again watched footage of Combs’ drug-fueled sex parties, with the defense showing longer clips than the prosecution.
