US EditionProsecutors Want Judge to End Defense Questioning of Cassie on Friday in Sean 'Diddy' Combs Trial
- Sean "Diddy" Combs is on trial in Manhattan, accused of involvement in a criminal enterprise that includes trafficking and racketeering, with R&B singer Cassie testifying against him since Tuesday.
- Cassie sued Combs in 2023 alleging years of abuse, settling for $20 million within hours, which helped trigger a law enforcement investigation leading to this trial.
- On Thursday, Combs' defense portrayed Cassie as a willing participant by having her read messages that showed enthusiasm for drug-fueled group sex, while Cassie testified to rape and threats from Combs.
- Judge Arun Subramanian allowed the defense five hours for cross-examination Friday, with prosecutors demanding it end the same day due to Cassie's late pregnancy and risking a mistrial if labor occurred.
- If convicted, 55-year-old Combs faces at least 15 years in prison for exploiting his music executive status to force women into prolonged coercive sex encounters called 'freak-offs'.
