Diddy Trial: The Prosecution Rests Its Case On Day 28 (6/24/25)
On June 24, 2025, the prosecution concluded its case in the federal sex trafficking and racketeering trial of Sean "Diddy" Combs, after presenting testimony from 34 witnesses over six weeks. Key witnesses included former girlfriends Casandra "Cassie" Ventura and a woman identified as "Jane," who testified about being coerced into drug-fueled sexual encounters orchestrated by Combs. Jurors were shown explicit videos and text messages supporting these claims. Homeland Security Special Agent Joseph Cerciello provided additional evidence, including travel and communication records.
In a strategic move, Combs' defense team chose not to call any witnesses and instead submitted agreed-upon exhibits. They argued that the alleged victims had willingly participated in the activities, citing text messages where "Jane" arranged encounters with male escorts. The defense contends that the sexual acts were consensual and part of a lifestyle choice.
Closing arguments are scheduled for Thursday, with jury deliberations expected to begin shortly thereafter. Combs faces charges including racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution. If convicted, he could face life in prison.
