Ex-Girlfriend and Alleged 'Diddy' Victim Testifies How 90 Percent of Their Sex Involved Other Men
A woman federal prosecutors are calling a victim of Sean 'Diddy' Combs took the stand at his federal trial in lower Manhattan on Thursday, telling the court that during their three year relationship, which lasted up until his September arrest, 90 percent of their time together was during drug-fueled, days-long 'freak-offs' where she was coerced into performing sex acts with male sex workers. The woman, who is being referred to as Jane Doe during the trial to protect her identity, is the latest woman brought forth by federal prosecutors in the Southern District of New York to explain how the feds say the once powerful rap and fashion mogul used his companies and loyal staff as a criminal enterprise to coerce and control women, who he would blackmail and manipulate into performing in 'freak-off' sex marathons, which the near-billionaire would often film while masterbating. Combs has pled not guilty to all charges in the feds' five-count indictment, which includes sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution. More from The Hollywood Reporter Diddy Trial: Forensic Video Expert and Cassie Ventura's Best Friend Bolster and Hinder Prosecution's Case Diddy Trial Sees Heckler Disrupt Court as Judge Learns Anonymous Witness' Name Leaked Online Sean "Diddy" Combs Paid to Hide Cassie Beating Video Because He Feared Career Ruin, Witness Says Taking the stand after court had returned from the day's lunch break, Jane Doe revealed early in her testimony that prior to connecting romantically with Combs in 2021, she was involved with a man whom Combs has history and a tense relationship. She said she met the rap world icon in Miami at a party she attended with a group of girlfriends, one of whom was casually dating Combs at the time; since his 2018 split with R&B singer Cassie Ventura, the federal prosecutors' star witness. Combs has been involved with several women at once, a fact that Doe told the jury was known to her as the relationship's inception. Over her first few hours of testimony on Thursday afternoon, Doe painted a picture of the couple's meet-cute and easy segue into a more serious relationship, which grew over phone calls, texts and FaceTime video calls. In fact, their relationship saw a boom when Doe's friend, who was dating Combs, got engaged and moved to Europe. Soon, she told the court, Combs swept her off her feet with a trip to Turks and Caicos and the Bahamas over 15 days. The two enjoyed the relaxing island and dinner on their hotel suite's balcony, where they enjoyed viewing sunsets together. She recalled how he even bought her a bracelet that spells out L-O-V-E. Their sex life was the two of them; she was smitten. 'I really fell head over heels for Sean,' she said, adding that it was OK for her that he was also seeing other people because she really liked him. 'I understood that on his end, it was never a monogamous relationship. One small hiccup on the trip, she recalled, came when Doe was handed an ecstasy pill by Combs and ended up so gobsmacked by the mind-bending drug that she doubled over in the sand and had to be taken into a tepid shower; over the remainder of the 15-day trip, Doe said she took Ecstacy 10 more times in smaller increments that were pieced out by Combs. The questioning prosecuting attorney on Thursday quickly moved on to the moment that the relationship soured for Doe, when she asked her to recall for the court the night of March 21, 2021, when she was asked to participate in her first 'freak-off' with Combs, which were also referred to as 'hotel nights' at times. After Combs' assistants had set up the hotel suite, Doe said, she would dress in racy lingerie and high-heeled shoes. That was when Combs told her someone was coming: a male escort named Don, who Combs said he knew. The encounter as described by Doe followed a familiar trajectory, one described by Ventura a few weeks ago when she testified about her 'freak-off' experiences: the woman and escort would pour baby oil onto each other's bodies (12 bottles one time, she said); the two begin touching; Doe begins to perform oral sex on Don as Combs watches, masterbating. From the witness, Doe said that it was her that 'tried to move things along' into the suite's bedroom. Combs protested when Doe asked to use a condom, she explained to the court, but he soon provided one and Don and Doe began to have sex. Doe said that her initial experience performing a 'freak-off' hotel night with Combs made her 'happy' and that 'it was taboo.' 'I just thought that it was a night of fun; I didn't think that we'd be doing it again,' she told the court, at that point holding back tears. 'I think that night opened a Pandora's Box in our relationship and I was never able to shut it. It just completely set the tone for our relationship moving forward.' Doe told the court when asked to give a percentage figure by federal prosecutors that after May 2021, 90 percent of the sexual experiences she had with Combs involved other men. The rapper, Doe told the court, suggested they have a hotel night the very next time the two saw each other. 'I just wanted to satisfy my partner,' she said of participating in the freak-offs. As their relationship stretched into months, Combs began to give large sums of money to Doe, whose work marketing brands on her social media accounts was dwindling. He handed her $10,000 after their initial trip to Turks and Caicos as she'd missed out on some work while on the trip with him; later, he'd typically give her $5,000 or $6,000 incrementally. As was the case with Ventura, he began to pay for her apartment; Doe said this was a reason she felt compelled to participate in 'freak-offs' even when she started to not enjoy them. 'I felt obligated to perform because my partner was paying my rent,' she explained. An attempt she had planned to earn her own money by launching an Only Fans account, where she would appear in lingerie and bikinis, could have helped out with a sense of independence — as she told Combs, a friend had claimed she'd brought in $4 million in a year doing a Just Fans page. But Combs, she testified, was having none of that, telling her, 'Let's just give it time.' Prosecutors believe this constitutes coercion to keep Doe financially dependent on him so he could control her and force her into his sexual fantasies. At a point, Doe says, she asked Combs if they could stop doing 'freak-offs' altogether. His response, she told the court, was to threaten her livelihood and home. 'He would just say things like, 'If you want to break up, that's fine. You have three months left on the house because I'm not about to be paying rent,'' Jane recalled Combs saying. Doe's testimony will continue on Friday as the prosecution begins to eye the resting of its case.

Crime of 'master manipulators': Most cases involve 'personal' situations involving family members, close associates
JOHNSTOWN, Pa. – Human trafficking occurs in homes, hotel rooms, massage parlors, brothels, restaurants, farm fields and online. Women, children and men are all victimized. They are exploited by family members, intimate partners, groomers, pimps, gangs or business owners, who may use coercion, economic manipulation, blackmail, emotional abuse, drugs, gifts, violence and threats to keep the victims entrapped. It takes many forms, among them prostitution, sex in exchange for a place to live, child labor in sweatshops, debt bondage, forced criminality and organ harvesting. Human Trafficking logo The problem exists not only in seemingly lawless international regions and major cities, but also in small towns – such as Johnstown and neighboring communities. More than 27 million people worldwide are estimated to be in human trafficking situations at any given time, according to the U.S. Department of State, although exact numbers are impossible to calculate given the shadowy nature of the situations. The International Labour Organization and the Walk Free Foundation, in partnership with the International Organization for Migration, put the total around 40 million, including forced marriages, in a 2017 report. The annual revenue from human trafficking has been estimated to be as high as $230 billion – more than four times the money generated by the National Football League, the National Hockey League, Major League Baseball and the National Basketball Association combined in 2024. In whatever form it takes and wherever it occurs, human trafficking is 'pure slavery,' said Douglas Lengenfelder, a staffer for state Sen. Cris Dush, R-Jefferson, one of Pennsylvania's leading anti-human trafficking crusaders. HUMAN TRAFFICKING | Local law enforcement: Incidents underreported, so scope not fully quantified The National Human Trafficking Hotline identified 12 likely victims of human trafficking in Cambria County from 2015-2022. There were three in Somerset County. 'The individuals who think we have conquered slavery in this nation really do not understand the significance and the horror of human trafficking,' said Lengenfelder, an Air Force veteran and Republican former Cambria County commissioner. 'Exploited' relationships A young woman on a gap-year holiday walks alone at night along the cobblestone streets of a beautiful European capital. A van pulls up. Two men quickly drag her into the vehicle. She resists, kicking, scratching, screaming. They overpower her. Bound and gagged, the woman is kidnapped, transported against her will to another country, sold and forced into prostitution. That scenario does indeed happen. And it makes for a thrilling Hollywood movie plot. But the majority of human trafficking – based on the 'Actions, Means, and Purpose,' or AMP, model – occurs in more personal and less sensationalized ways. Adults groom boys and girls in video game chatrooms. Drug-addicted parents use their children's innocence as payment to their dealers. Restaurant owners underpay undocumented immigrants who cannot complain for fear of being deported. Men get romantically involved with vulnerable women, give gifts, provide what appears to be a stable environment and then manipulate them into providing sex work. HUMAN TRAFFICKING | 'Pimps' and websites: AI-driven system has no legal standing yet in Pa., but delivers warnings to 'customers' At noon on a regular Monday last month, a website showed about 80 sex worker advertisements in the areas of Johnstown, Indiana and Altoona. 'With human trafficking, I think what surprises many people is how many victims actually know their trafficker,' said Jordan Pine, founder and CEO of Cumberland County-based Greenlight Operation, an anti-human trafficking organization. 'I think we do often think of the sensational stories or movies like 'Sound of Freedom' or 'Taken,' but in Pennsylvania it doesn't usually look that way, because if it did, police would be on high alert. We'd be looking for these individuals. What we have to keep in mind is that traffickers are master manipulators who are trying to make as much money as possible without getting noticed.' The report 'Polaris Analysis of 2021 Data from the National Human Trafficking Hotline' outlined how human trafficking recruitment was often done by a family member or caregiver (33% of the time), an intimate partner (28%) or employer (22%). The type of exploiters were employers (43%), those with a familial relationship to the victim (26%) and intimate partners (22%). 'This shows us again that it's not always just stranger danger,' Pine said. 'Yes, that can happen. But, more often than not, a victim knows their traffickers, and that relationship is getting exploited.' Vulnerability, 'coercion' Human trafficking thrives online. 'Escorts' are advertised on websites. Predators also lurk, striking up chats with children playing video games or otherwise communicating online. Douglas Lengenfelder Douglas Lengenfelder, a retired Air Force lieutenant colonel and former Cambria County commissioner, speaks with The Tribune-Democrat in October 2020. Lengenfelder said the prime 'hunting time' is between 9 p.m. and 2 a.m. He said that whenever a youngster is left unsupervised or unmonitored online, the parents have 'invited that predator to have private time with your child.' He recommended some 'very easy, straightforward approaches' for prevention, such as giving children flip phones that can be used for calling or programmable Apple Watches instead of smartphones with internet access. Lengenfelder said predators will act 'like hunting wolves' in a pack, each asking different questions until they form a combined profile, regarding home life, friends, likes and dislikes. The traffickers, whether searching for children or adults, look for vulnerabilities to exploit – past unresolved trauma, mental illness, economic insecurity and, in many cases, drug and alcohol dependency. 'It can look different, but it's definitely some type of coercion or intimidation over the other person to get them to do these acts for the benefit of the trafficker, who is making a lot of money,' said former Cambria County District Attorney Kelly Callihan, who helped form the Cambria County Human Trafficking Response Team. Kelly Callihan Kelly Callihan 'They're usually providing the basic necessities that the victims need to survive, which is housing, food, whatever drug they're using. They pretty much tie them off from society and provide those basic needs, which keeps them in the cycle and it's very difficult for a victim to get out.' Signs and risks The red flags of human trafficking can be challenging to detect. What might be a cause for concern with one person might just be part of another person's regular personality. 'Victimization looks different for everybody,' said Victim Services' Jessica Piro, the Cambria County Human Trafficking Response Team's co-coordinator. She said some common signs, though, are a person becoming withdrawn, fights with families, poor boundaries that lead to risky behavior, hypersexualization, chronic truancy from school or missing work, talk about a 'sugar daddy' or 'sugar mama,' use of multiple phones, sudden appearance of gifts and money, and medical problems. Some communities can be at higher risk for being trafficked – runaway youth, LGBTQ+ children who have been in placement, homeless people, substance abusers and people with histories of trauma.
