Cassie Ventura, the former partner of Sean “Diddy” Combs, is expected to testify as early as Monday, May 12, in his federal trial in Manhattan. Combs faces charges including sex trafficking, racketeering, and transporting individuals for prostitution.
Ventura, who previously filed a civil lawsuit against Combs in 2023 alleging rape and physical abuse—a case that was settled within 24 hours—will testify under her real name, Casandra Ventura. She is anticipated to be the prosecution’s star witness, providing testimony about alleged abuse and coercion during their decade-long relationship.
The trial is expected to last up to eight weeks and will feature testimony from multiple accusers. Combs has pleaded not guilty and remains in custody at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn.#newsafro_
