Diddy's Defense Shifts Strategy, Portrays Accuser as Willing Participant in Sex Trafficking Trial

Sean "Diddy" Combs' trial took another turn on June 10, 2025, as the defense team attempted to portray the accuser, known only as Jane, as a willing participant in the alleged sex trafficking scheme. Jane, Combs' former girlfriend, has been giving testimony for several days, detailing a lifestyle funded by Combs and involving frequent sexual encounters with male escorts. The defense attorney, Tenny Geragos, employed a softer approach than in previous cross-examinations, aiming to show Jane's willingness and downplaying the coercion aspect. In one exchange, Geragos asked, "These hotel rooms, you could see it meant a lot to him?" Jane responded, "Yes." However, Jane also revealed emotionally charged moments, stating, "What was hard for me was the imbalance in treatment. When I walked into the relationship, I just thought he was dating. It was definitely difficult when it became a relationship that publicly looked monogamous. I did not sign up for that." The report highlights the strategic use of voicemails and text messages to showcase the dynamics of the relationship. The judge's denial of a mistrial motion further underscores the ongoing legal battle.
