Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’s trial for sex trafficking and racketeering entered its fifth week on Monday in New York City – with the jury hearing secret recordings of phone calls between the mogul and one of his accusers.
The disgraced music mogul, 55, is facing life in prison if convicted of the claims that he used his fame and money to coerce women and employees into sexual and criminal activities for two decades.
His ex-girlfriend, who is testifying under the pseudonym of Jane, is back on the stand after telling the jury last week that she was forced to participate in frequent sexual performances with male sex workers to please Diddy.
During her testimony, prosecutors played recordings of phone calls between Jane and Diddy where the rapper pleaded with her to support him after Cassie Ventura filed the lawsuit that brought on his downfall in November, 2023.
Diddy has pleaded not guilty. His lawyers concede he could be violent, but he denies using threats or his music industry clout to commit abuse.
