Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs has come face-to-face with his former personal assistant who claims he was used as the rap mogul’s drug mule.
Brendan Paul, 25, was arrested in Miami in March last year and charged with possession of cocaine and marijuana. He was buying and transporting drugs at Combs’ request, but refused to give the rapper up.
Paul was given a six month drug intervention program in connection to the charges and has now taken the stand in Diddy’s trial in exchange for immunity.
He is the final witness that prosecutors will call to the stand, with the attorney’s office expected to rest their case by early next week.
Prosecutors allege the evidence presented over the last six weeks proves that Combs used fame, power and violence to force his girlfriends into his ‘freak-off’ sex marathons.
The defense, which will present its case next week, says prosecutors are trying to criminalize sexual activity between consenting adults.
They admit their client was involved in domestic abuse, but argue he has not committed the federal crimes of sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy. Combs, 55, has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
