Sean "Diddy" Combs sex trafficking trial closing arguments begin; prosecutors say he wielded "power, violence and fear"
The sex trafficking trial against Sean "Diddy" Combs is nearing its end on Thursday as New York prosecutors and Combs' legal team make their closing arguments — without the hip-hop mogul ever taking the stand.
The court indicated that prosecutors would get four hours on Thursday, and then Combs' attorneys will take their turn on Friday, followed by an hour of prosecution rebuttal. The judge will then instruct the jury on relevant legal standards they should apply to reach a verdict. Jury deliberations might not start until next week.
As closing arguments began, a prosecutor told the jury that Combs used "power, violence and fear" to rule a criminal enterprise, which facilitated brutal sex crimes as well as kidnapping and arson. Assistant U.S. Attorney Christy Slavik said Combs "doesn't take no for an answer" and "counted on silence and shame" to allow his abuse to continue. She also said he used a "small army" of employees to harm women and then cover it up.
Combs, 55, has denied the allegations. He is facing 15 years to life in prison if he's convicted. The high-profile trial, which began May 12, is one of the most closely watched celebrity cases in recent years.
After calling on 34 witnesses over seven weeks — including Combs' ex-girlfriend, R&B singer Cassie Ventura Fine, and rapper Kid Cudi — the prosecution rested Tuesday. The defense also rested that same day without calling any witnesses, presenting its case for less than 30 minutes.
As is common after prosecutors rest at criminal trials, Combs' lawyers made arguments to toss out the charges, arguing the charges weren't proven. The judge said he'll rule at a later date.
Charges against Sean "Diddy" Combs
Combs has pleaded not guilty to five counts.
The first count is racketeering conspiracy, which alleges he "abused, threatened and coerced women and others around him to fulfill his sexual desires, protect his reputation, and conceal his conduct."
Prosecutors allege Combs relied on employees, resources and influence of his business empire to create a criminal enterprise that engaged in, or attempted to engage in, "sex trafficking, forced labor, interstate transportation for the purposes of prostitution, coercion and enticement to engage in prostitution, narcotics offenses, kidnapping, arson, bribery and obstruction of justice."
The other four counts allege sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution.
Prosecutors said in a court filing Wednesday that jury instructions would not need to address allegations regarding attempted arson, attempted kidnapping, or aiding and abetting sex trafficking, since the government "is no longer planning to proceed on these theories of liability."
Sean "Diddy" Combs decided to not testify
Combs told U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian on Tuesday that after thorough discussions with his attorneys, he decided he wouldn't testify.
"That is my decision, your honor," Combs said, adding: "That is solely my decision."
Prodded by the judge, he clarified further: "I mean, it's my decision with my lawyers. ... My decision to make. I'm making it."
Combs has been active in his defense, often writing notes to his lawyers and sometimes helping them decide when to stop questioning a witness. Earlier this month, Subramanian threatened to potentially have Combs removed from court after the judge said Combs kept making expressions to the jury, including looking at them and "nodding vigorously" during the testimony of graphic designer Bryana "Bana" Bongolan, a friend of Ventura Fine's.
Prosecutors say Combs used connections to orchestrate "freak-offs"
During the first week of the trial, Cassie Ventura Fine was called to the witness stand and testified that Combs pressured her into participating in "freak-offs," drug-fueled episodes where Combs is accused of forcing attendees to perform sex acts with hired sex workers.
Prosecutors have cited the events as evidence of sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy, alleging that Combs relied on employees, associates and his business accounts to fly male sex workers to Miami, Los Angeles, Las Vegas and New York, where his staff set up hotel rooms for the encounters and cleaned up afterward.
Over the decade of her on-and-off relationship with Combs, from 2007 until 2018, Ventura Fine said she was part of hundreds of such events.
She also testified that Combs was psychologically and physically abusive, as seen in security footage of a 2016 Los Angeles hotel incident in which Combs is shown punching and kicking her.
Other early witnesses included a former security director at the hotel who testified that Combs bribed him over the incident, but he didn't accept. Another witness was a manager for a male stripper show who said he was contracted by Combs and Ventura Fine in 2012 to participate in "freak-offs."
Combs' attorneys presented the jury with mostly loving messages between Combs and Ventura Fine and argued that she was a willing participant. They said Combs' sexual habits and his "kinky" swinger lifestyle don't amount to sex trafficking.
Another ex-girlfriend of Combs, who testified for six days under the pseudonym "Jane," said she felt pressured by Combs to do "hotel nights" with him. She testified she told Combs many times she didn't like the hotel events involving drugs and, at times, multiple male entertainers.
The defense countered with messages about her setting up these nights, seemingly excited. Jane said she has been putting them into perspective after beginning therapy three months ago, saying she did them because she loved Combs and it's what he expected of his partner.

Peek Inside ‘Leading Hotels Of The World' With Luxe Travel Book ‘Culture'
Page spread featuring Fifth Avenue Hotel, Manhattan, in 'Culture: The Leading Hotels of the World' Luxury hotels must strike a balance between sweeping you into another world and making you feel at home. Discerning travelers want more than amenities, and seek out hotels that preserve and promote culture. Hotelier Alex Ohebshalom worked closely with Swedish interior architect and product designer Martin Brudnizki to transform a 1907 Italian Renaissance Revival bank by McKim, Mead & White that was erected on the former site of a Gilded Age mansion into a pampering and welcoming environment. The collaborators carefully examined the extant arches, moldings, and other mansion features evoking the period of U.S. history from the 1870s to about 1900 which took its name from Mark Twain's lesser-known political novel The Gilded Age: A Tale of Today, co-written with his friend, and fellow essayist and novelist, Charles Dudley Warner, to preserve the best facets of that bygone era while creating a new 'today' for the Fifth Avenue Hotel in Manhattan. While the novel satirizes greed and political corruption in post-Civil War America, Twain – who enjoyed bourbon and was close friends with self-made tycoon Henry H. Rogers – would have been unlikely to refuse an old fashioned from socialite Charlotte Goodridge, who lived in the mansion until her death in 1902. Earlier this month, guests filled The Cellar, a private dining room at the hotel, admiring the walls of geometric marquetry which was popular during the Gilded Age. Enjoying cocktails by The Portrait Bar and passed canape and charcuterie by Chef Andrew Carmellini, as well as a performance by Tony-nominated actress and singer Lorna Courtney, guests indulged in the present moment while the room evoked the past extravagance. 'Culture' and 'Design' books, by Leading Hotels of the World (LHW), in partnership with Phaidon, ... More Monacelli, and New York-based media company The Slowdown, at Fifth Avenue Hotel in New York City. The location was perfect for celebrating the launch of Culture, the second volume in an ongoing travel book series by The Leading Hotels of the World (LHW), following Design, in partnership with Phaidon, Monacelli, and New York-based media company The Slowdown, earlier this month. Ohebshalom and Brudnizki envisioned a character when creating the hotel, a flâneur, or a person who strolls around a city observing the world around them while blending in with the crowd. That is often how travelers want to feel in a new city, aware of the environment and not obviously an outsider. Flâneur Hospitality spent a decade restoring the building, preserving the original brick and limestone Renaissance-style palazzo and magnifying it with a 24-story modern glass tower by Perkins Eastman. Timeless elegance and exceptional service abound as you're greeted by the everpresent but never intrusive hospitality experts at De LEurope Amsterdam. It's hard to imagine a reasonable request that's met with anything less than 'of course!' For example, visiting Amsterdam after attending TEFAF-Maastricht – Europe's crown jewel of art fairs, some 125 miles away in the southernmost part of the Netherlands, close to the borders with Belgium and Germany – demands a continuation of grand tradition. Time after time, De LEurope Amsterdam exceeds expectations. Encounter centuries of history, beginning in 1482, when Emperor Maximilian I ordered the construction of stone walls and a fortress to protect the town from attacks. The main tower, Het Rondeel, stood on the site of present-day De L'Europe Amsterdam. The location's hospitality legacy began in 1638, when an inn was built partly on the foundations of the fort. This simple guest house later adorned the side along the Amstel with a wall decorated with Renaissance flair. After numerous closures and renovations, H. J. Wolters reopened Het Rondeel in1845, as the first hotel in Amsterdam that served and catered to families. Het Rondeel was auctioned to a bank in 1894, and the building remained empty for two years before the Dutch Hotel Company demolished it and built a new hotel. The company agreed to purchase the former Hotel de L'Europe on the Prins Hendrikkade in exchange for the name. Mr. H. Martins, the managing director of the original Hotel de L'Europe was appointed the same role at the new location on the Nieuwe Doelenstraat, which opened in 1896. Throughout the century, the hotel was expanded and refurbished to meet dynamic demands of luxury travelers. Dutch businessman Alfred 'Freddy' Heineken, a leader of the brewing empire created in 1864 by his grandfather Gerard Adriaan Heineken, was a frequent guest of the hotel in the 1950's, and he eventually bought it, making De L'Europe the first and only family-owned luxury hotel in Amsterdam. By 1992, the hotel was remodeled to offer 100 modern rooms, two restaurants, a bar, a terrace on the Amstel river, several halls, a fitness center, a shop, and a business center. Art lovers will appreciate the easy walk to world-leading museums, such as Rijksmuseum, the national museum of the Netherlands dedicated to Dutch arts and history, Stedelijk, a museum for modern art, and contemporary art and design, and the Van Gogh Museum, dedicated to the works of Vincent van Gogh and his contemporaries. Man adjusts painting at De L'Europe. Amsterdam, The Netherlands A comprehensive redesign in 2020 enabled De L'Europe to emerge from the pandemic in its current grandeur. Amsterdam-based interior design firm Nicemakers restyled the rooms, public areas, private event rooms, three restaurants, and the bar, to pay homage to the rich cultural history while boasting contemporary creature comforts. Let Culture serve as your travel companion. The book itself lends to a leisurely study of the world's best hotels, drawing readers into an opulent chair – perhaps a fauteuil or a bergère – while admiring its plush cover. 3-D view of 'Culture', the second volume in an ongoing travel book series by The Leading Hotels of ... More the World (LHW), in partnership with Phaidon, Monacelli, and New York-based media company The Slowdown ''Culture' is as hard to define as 'beauty' or 'taste,' but we know it when we see it,' As Pico Iyer writes in the forward, 'It is that hidden treasure that goes beyond simply seeing the sights and gives us a new pair of eyes.' Culture gives readers exactly that. This compelling volume dives beneath the surface of glamour, offering a deeper, more considered definition of luxury.'

34 Fascinating Memoirs You Won't Be Able to Put Down
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Whoever may have told you that nonfiction is boring was either A) reading the wrong books or B) just plain wrong. Autobiographies and memoirs, for instance, are some of the most captivating reads—and we're here to set the record straight by recommending some of the best memoirs about and by women that will remind you that true stories are both addictive to read and extremely vital. They'll also remind you that women are undeniably resilient. These stories are motivating, funny, powerful, sad, and evocative. From gripping celebrity memoirs by iconic role models to compelling books by authors from the LGBTQ+ community to other personal anecdotes of overcoming one's upbringing or adversity, these are stories you never knew you needed. Below, find the best memoirs by women authors of all time that you should add to your reading list, bedside table, and tote bag immediately. The 2010 film in which Julia Roberts plays a 30-something woman who embarks on a whirlwind world tour after her divorce may seem like the stuff of deliciously dreamy fiction, but Eat Pray Love was actually based on Elizabeth Gilbert's 2006 memoir of the same name. The real story is a powerful (and empowering) tale about the writer's decision to leave behind what seemed from the outside like a perfect life to seek truer fulfillment in food, romance, and spirituality during a yearlong journey around the world. $16.74 at Bookshop Yes, that's Alison Bechdel of the now-ubiquitous pop culture-assessing Bechdel test. Her 2006 memoir takes the form of a graphic novel, charting her upbringing in rural Pennsylvania as the daughter of a funeral director. Central to the book is the story of Bechdel's journey toward coming out as a lesbian in her late teens, as well as an exploration of her complex relationship with her father, who remained closeted until his untimely death. A Broadway adaptation of the book won the Tony for Best Musical in 2015, and a movie version of the musical is reportedly now in the works. $18.55 at Bookshop A photo of Wangari Maathai should be next to the definition of "persistence" in dictionaries around the world. Here, the Nobel Prize winner, who died in 2011, recounts her life's story: Raised in rural Kenya, Maathai developed the transformative Green Belt Movement in 1977, empowering women and combating food instability in the country. Despite being jailed, beaten, and bruised, Maathai remained unbowed, making it a fitting title for her memoir. $8.22 at Amazon In the final days of 2003, Joan Didion lost her husband, John Gregory Dunne, to a sudden heart attack. His death came in the wake of their only daughter's serious health issues, which returned with a vengeance just a few months after Dunne's death. This book is Didion's description of the nearly unbearable work of simultaneously grieving her lifelong partner and caring for her daughter, whose own death in 2005 was later the subject of another incredibly moving book from Didion, 2011's Blue Nights. $9.91 at Amazon Calling all English majors: This is the memoir for you. Katharine Smyth manages to entangle her personal experience of grief with—wait for it—Virginia Woolf's To the Lighthouse. Smyth's memoir is an ode to her father and favorite writer, whose words brought her comfort and clarity in a time of loss. $11.31 at Amazon True tales from the White House never get old—especially when told by someone as remarkable as Michelle Obama. Her memoir, Becoming, is a candid reflection of her journey to the White House, from a little girl on the South Side of Chicago to an accomplished lawyer, mother, and First Lady. $11.48 at Amazon You know those fundamental childhood classroom experiences: raising baby chicks, being named line leader, scooting over to your best friend's desk when the teacher tells you to "find a partner" for a project? Tara Westover never had those. She was raised a survivalist, spending most of her childhood preparing for the end of the world. But at 17, when she first stepped into a classroom at Brigham Young University, everything changed. Her testament to that time is moving and beautiful. $16.50 at Amazon Platonic friendships are rarely given the recognition and weight they deserve, often falling after romantic and familial relationships in society's ranking of life's most important ties. Dolly Alderton sets that straight in this memoir of her life up to age 30, meticulously and lovingly documenting the female friendships that have made up the most important relationships of her life so far. $8.52 at Amaozn Everyone knows a likable plot depends on perspective. Who's telling the story? Well, how about this point of view: A 20-something stenographer in the Obama White House details her life and career at 30,000 feet in the air, aboard Air Force One. If that sounds interesting, you'll want to check out Beck Dorey-Stein's From the Corner of the Oval, detailing her spur-of-the-moment decision to quit her five part-time jobs, buy a microphone, and become Barack Obama's shadow. $15 at Amazon Clemantine Wamariya is a survivor. Following the Rwandan genocide, she and her sister spent six years as refugees migrating through seven different African countries, never knowing if their parents in Rwanda were even alive. Eventually, she and her sister were granted refuge in the United States, where Clemantine stumbled into a life of privilege. Taken in by a family, she attended private school and eventually Yale University. Even so, she struggled to rationalize the life she'd been given with the life she'd run away from. This is the story of that struggle. $17.38 at Amazon She's the actress who brought you some of the most iconic movies of all time, like Gidget and Not Without My Daughter, but Sally Field's memoir really bares it all. She discusses her struggle with self-esteem, the controlling relationship she had with Burt Reynolds, and even her own childhood experience of sexual assault. The memoir, seven years in the making, is an honest, occasionally chilling look at the life of one of Hollywood's most timeless actors. $16.53 at Amazon Inheritance tells the story of Dani Shapiro, who learns that the man she called Dad for 50 years isn't her biological father after taking a genealogy test. And the family secrets just keep on coming from there. Shapiro's novel is a poignant examination of identity and what happens when one's wholeness and understanding of who they are is completely uprooted. $15.23 at Amazon Chanel Miller was originally known only by the pseudonym Emily Doe in her infamous 2016 sexual assault case against Brock Turner, after which her incredibly powerful victim impact statement was released and quickly went viral. In 2019, however, Miller revealed her identity, releasing this memoir about her courageous journey to build a life separate from that traumatic experience. $17.67 at Amazon If the saying "laugh to keep from crying" is true, then it's no wonder that Tiffany Haddish became a comedian. Her biography recounts plenty of opportunities for a reasonable person to break down in tears, from Haddish's experience in foster care to her encounter with sexual abuse. But instead, the comedian finds a reason to smile and to make others laugh with her. It's a painful story, but told with pure hilarity. Haddish truly is a unicorn. $12.46 at Amazon Maid is both a moving personal story of resilience and a broader exploration of the often untold story of what it means to be poor in America. The memoir follows Stephanie Land, a single mother, as she went from cleaning houses and moving in and out of homeless shelters and other temporary housing to, eventually, earning her college degree and finding stable work as a journalist. As a bonus, her important story has since been brought to life on screen, in a critically acclaimed Netflix series starring Margaret Qualley. $10.03 at Amazon Natural disasters can do serious damage, but so can disasters caused by human error. Cinelle Barnes has experience with both. Her memoir, Monsoon Mansion, takes place in the Philippines and details her lavish lifestyle in the Mansion Royale. But when a monsoon hits, her beloved home deteriorates, her wealthy father bails, and she's left to be raised by an abusive stepfather and a mother in denial. Somehow, Cinelle survives. $14.20 at Amazon No matter what role she plays, Jenifer Lewis exudes confidence. You don't go from Kinloch, Missouri, to Hollywood without that. But her telling memoir, The Mother of Black Hollywood, reveals how life for the Black-ish actress is more complicated than it looks. She opens up about her battle with bipolar disorder and her recovery from sexual addiction—proving that even some of the greatest divas have to overcome a lot. $11.60 at Amazon This is not your mother's autobiography. Author and neuroscientist Judith Grisel takes a no-holds-barred approach to the topic of addiction, tackling the subject through a mix of science, her own experiences, and a little bit of humor. Grisel is determined to help readers better understand the way addicts think and, in turn, to hopefully find a solution to the epidemic of drug abuse. $12.93 at Amazon Black turtleneck and glasses. You could describe Steve Jobs by just those four words, and everyone would know who you were talking about. But for Lisa Brennan-Jobs, her father was never that simple. Small Fry details the complicated relationship between the tech mogul and his eldest daughter, and how Silicon Valley shaped her life. $5.99 at Amazon Government policies can seem abstract, especially if you don't think they affect you personally. Tomorrow Will be Different gives readers the dose of empathy they need to understand them. Sarah McBride was the first transgender person to speak at a national convention in 2016. Through heartbreaking personal stories, McBride sheds light on the constant struggle for LGBTQ+ rights and inclusion. Bonus: Her foreword was written by Joe Biden. $11.55 at Amazon Former New York Times reporter Karoline Kan tells the story of three generations of women in Beijing, all willing and ready to defy the odds. Kan's grandmother survived the Great Famine, and her mother knowingly ignored the One-Child Policy when she gave birth to Karoline. Now, it's up to Kan herself to reach for the dreams society told her she could never achieve. $14.99 at Amazon Kathleen, the birth name of author Keele Burgin, which she uses to identify herself in her memoir, lived a life of fear: of her father, her religion, and even how she dressed. Wholly Unraveled is her memoir detailing one Catholic cult escapee's journey to a life of normalcy, self-worth, and belonging. $12.87 at Amazon Reese Witherspoon earned an Oscar nomination for her lead role in the 2014 film adaptation of Strayed's bestselling 2012 memoir—obviously, a major credit to the source material. It follows the writer's decision to hike the storied Pacific Crest Trail solo in her 20s following her mother's death, her divorce, and heroin addiction, ultimately resulting in a powerful physical and emotional journey of self-discovery and healing. $17.67 at Bookshop Sarah M. Broom won a National Book Award for this 2019 memoir, an ode to the concept of home, which details her family's long history in pre- and post-Katrina New Orleans and the issues of class, race, and inequality that have long shaped the city. $18.98 at Amazon So often, stories of surviving cancer end with the doctor's pronouncement of remission, but that's not where the story actually ends for the survivors themselves. Suleika Jaouad details the difficult process of rebuilding her life and finding her place in the world after spending years in hospital beds being treated for leukemia—a process that she began by traveling the country, meeting with fellow cancer survivors, grieving relatives, and others grappling with the chasm between sickness and health. $12.06 at Amazon Chloé Cooper Jones, who has the rare congenital condition sacral agenesis, spent much of her life learning to deal with ableist remarks, attitudes, and policies by retreating into herself and her work. But after having a child and becoming a mother, she found herself emboldened to reclaim the spaces she'd never felt permitted to enter, setting up a whirlwind journey that she mapped out in this powerful 2022 memoir. $15.49 at Amazon The title of Jessica Hoppe's 2024 memoir refers to her status as the first in many generations to break the cycle of addiction and get sober. While looking back over that difficult journey, she also dives into the generational quality of addiction and how addiction specifically impacts communities of color like her own. $21.07 at Amazon After years spent in sex work, Charlotte Shane is something of an expert on intimacy, desire, and the general ins and outs of heterosexual relationships. Her deep dive into her own history in that area is cast through a feminist lens, with a thorough exploration of the pervasive misogyny that looms over many women's pursuit of intimacy with men. $17.99 at Amazon Nearly 30 years after her older sister was killed by an abusive ex-boyfriend in 1990, Cristina Rivera Garza traveled to Mexico to unravel the case. She documented that months-long journey in this Pulitzer Prize-winning true-crime book, piecing together the evidence to paint a loving, long-unseen picture of her sister. $13.98 at Amazon Ketanji Brown Jackson made history in 2022 as the first Black woman ever to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court. This 2024 memoir is the incredible story of how she got there, from growing up in the South as the daughter of educators to breaking barriers as a Black woman and mother in the high-powered field of law. $20.34 at Amazon The nickname in the title of this 2023 memoir was one Hardin earned while serving time in jail after being convicted of 32 felonies. The book starts well before that—as Hardin hid her growing opioid addiction under the outward guise of a perfect suburban soccer mom—and also stretches long after, as she continues to grapple with her demons even after getting clean, getting out of jail, and starting a new life as a ghostwriter. $16.73 at Bookshop Cathy Park Hong defines 'minor feelings' as those that crop up when you're faced with lies about your own racial identity and lived reality. That dissonance is at the core of her 2020 book of essays, which documents her own upbringing as the daughter of Korean immigrants and her musings on the current state of race in America. $10.50 at Amazon Daniella Mestyanek Young grew up in the Children of God cult, in which physical, emotional, and sexual abuse were the norm. She escaped as a teenager, excelled in college, and proceeded to join the military—only to find, as she describes here, that the patriarchal confines that defined her upbringing aren't unique only to outright cults. $13.88 at Amazon Deborah Jackson Taffa was born on the California Yuma reservation and grew up in Navajo territory in New Mexico, where she was encouraged to assimilate into American culture outside of the reservation. In this gripping memoir, she revisits not only her upbringing but also the long history of the mistreatment of Native populations at the hands of the American government and its promise of so-called assimilation. $18.99 at Amazon

Boynton Beach police issue BOLO in search for man wanted in Leisureville double homicide
Authorities have issued a "be on the lookout" bulletin for a Texas man suspected of killing two people in a Boynton Beach retirement community on June 23 and have offered a reward for information leading to his capture. Police issued the alert for Jyuno Alexander Daniels in connection to the deaths of Selicia Noreika and Freddy Bedasie, both 63, in the Leisureville community off Woolbright Road. A BOLO allows one law-enforcement agency to share information with others regarding a person at large. During a news conference on June 25, Boynton Beach Police Chief Joe DeGiulio announced that detectives have obtained a warrant to arrest Daniels on two counts of first-degree murder with a firearm. 'If they do see this individual, he is armed. He is dangerous. Call us,' DeGiulio said at a news conference on June 25. Investigators have not disclosed a motive for the shootings., They said Daniels was temporarily residing with Bedasie and Noreika in a home on the 2000 block of Southwest 17th Street. Police have not confirmed Daniels' relationship to the couple. A preliminary investigation showed that a disturbance occurred within the residence and escalated to the point of Daniels shooting both Noreika and Bedasie. Investigators found Noreika in a bedroom at the residence and Bedasie in a neighbor's driveway. The shootings startled residents of Leisureville, known for its rows of white, cookie-cutter homes with pastel-colored shutters and one- and two-car garages. Many residents are "snowbirds" and leave for the summer months to head back north and many of the houses remain vacant this time of year. DeGiulio said the U.S. Marshals Service has joined the search and urged residents to vigilant of their surroundings. Investigators say residents should avoid approaching Daniels. Crime Stoppers of Palm Beach County is offering a cash reward of up to $3,000 to anyone with information on Daniels' whereabouts. Anyone information can call Crime Stoppers at 800-458-TIPS (8477), or the Boynton Beach police tip line at 561-742-6156.
