Chloe Malas: 我认为简的证词揭示了她与肖恩·科姆斯之间一段非常糟糕的关系。短信和语音邮件显示,简多次表达了她不想再参与这些酒店之夜,感觉自己被利用,并且在短信中,科姆斯称她为“疯子”,贬低她的感受。科姆斯的语气虽然听起来并不具有威胁性,但他声称简可以自由选择是否参与,并表示一切都是双方自愿的。然而,科姆斯也说过“你最好做好你的工作”,这使得他们的关系变得非常功利。简在谈到卡西·文图拉的民事诉讼时情绪激动,她说她感觉自己正在阅读自己的性创伤,感到恶心,并认为自己受到了性剥削。她没有告诉任何人她的感受,因为她感到被操纵和侵犯,并且觉得这件事是她可耻的黑暗秘密。 Lisa Rubin: 我认为从法律角度来看,如果考虑到某些罪行的要素,证词看起来就不那么模糊了。性交易罪有三个要素:诱骗受害者,影响商业,以及使用胁迫手段。毫无疑问,肖恩·科姆斯诱骗了卡西或简参与性行为,并且政府已经很好地证明了科姆斯的行为对资金流动产生了影响。最棘手的是证明科姆斯是否知道或漠视了使用武力、威胁、欺诈或胁迫来迫使受害者从事商业性行为。政府对胁迫的定义不仅包括身体伤害的威胁,还包括旨在让受害者相信如果不做特定行为,就会受到严重伤害的计划。检方试图将所有小证据拼凑在一起,为陪审团讲述一个完整的故事,以便陪审团可以说,这些人确实感到被迫参与“怪异派对”,因为如果不这样做,他们可能会遭受各种不同的伤害。 Jane: 我在法庭上作证说,我和科姆斯之间存在“爱情合约”,我参与酒店的性行为是为了换取科姆斯支付我在洛杉矶的两年房租。当我看到卡西·文图拉的民事诉讼时,我情绪激动,感觉自己正在阅读自己的性创伤,感到恶心,并认为自己受到了性剥削。我没有告诉任何人我的感受,因为我感到被操纵和侵犯,并且觉得这件事是我的黑暗秘密。当CNN播出酒店走廊视频时,我和肖恩·科姆斯及其团队在迈阿密,他们试图想出一个真诚的道歉帖子。科姆斯告诉我,那是他唯一一次对卡西使用暴力,并说卡西会打他。我记得科姆斯承认他打了卡西。

Shownotes Transcript

On the Friday prosecution played three voice notes Combs sent his then-girlfriend -- testifying anonymously -- over the course of their three-year relationship. On Monday, she read out loud the texts she sent him after Cassie Ventura filed suit against him in 2023. "I feel like I'm reading my own sexual trauma," "Jane" wrote. "It makes me sick how three pages, word for word, is exactly my experience and my anguish." Plus, MSNBC legal correspondent Lisa Rubin joins to tell us how she thinks the prosecution's case is looking.
