Diddy Sex-Trafficking Trial Is Shown Shocking Photos of Items Found Inside Rapper's $48 Million Miami ‘Freak-Off' Mansion During Fed Raid

Yahoo21-05-2025

Prosecutors in ' sex-trafficking trial have presented a trove of horrifying photos that reveal the sordid array of items found inside the rapper's $48 million Miami mansion when it was raided by federal agents in March 2024—six months before his arrest.
Homeland Security Special Agent Gerard Gannon, who led the raids on Diddy's Florida and California homes, took to the stand on May 20 and May 21 to recount the circumstances leading up to those events, while detailing the items that were found inside the musician's property on Star Island in Miami.
Diddy, 55, was arrested in New York City in September 2024 and has been charged with five criminal counts, according to NBC: one count of racketeering conspiracy; two counts of sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion; and two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution.
He has repeatedly denied the allegations made against him and entered a plea of not guilty in court.
Investigators are understood to have spent months compiling evidence to use in the case against Diddy, who saw both his Star Island mansion and his Holmby Hills property in Los Angeles combed through by authorities back in March as part of the investigation.
Now, images shared with the jury and the public have revealed at least some of the findings made inside the Florida dwelling, with photos capturing multiple weapons, including AR-15 rifle parts, as well as numerous pairs of women's high heels, sex toys, and dozens of bottles of baby oil littering the expansive property.
Several different drugs were also discovered in the property, with Gannon revealing that an assortment of pills, white powder, and a 'crystal rock-like substance' that later tested positive for cocaine and ketamine were uncovered from a Gucci bag in the closet, per CNN.
Another photo captures a prescription bottle for Clonazepam as well as natural treatments for erectile dysfunction.
Rubber ducks were also seen stored in a box in one photo, while Just For Men hair dye was captured in another, alongside a hairdryer.
One image taken inside a bathroom in the home revealed that the mirror had been covered in several message, some of which appear to have been written in lipstick, while others were scrawled in black marker.
'Love you love Diddy,' read one, while another said: 'What do you WANT?'
A third read: 'You a legend and quite stn Team Puffy.'
Meanwhile, pictures taken outside the dwelling reveal that the gates to the compound were smashed open by an armored vehicle in an attempt to gain access to the home, which Diddy bought in two parts, snapping up the first of two homes for $14.5 million in 2003, while he purchased the second for $35 million in 2021.
During his time on the stand, Gannon revealed that six people were present inside the home when Homeland Security agents began the raid, including a music producer, a property manager, and other members of Diddy's staff.
He confirmed that they were all handcuffed while the raid was carried out, but stated that no weapons or any other paraphernalia was found on their persons.
Gannon also said that, while the AR-15s found in the home were dismantled at the time, agents did find a loaded .45 handgun inside a guesthouse on the property, although he described the structure as a 'guard house' during his testimony.
In total, he said that 25 bottles of baby oil were discovered in a closet inside the home.
Other findings included three cell phones that were discovered inside a Balenciaga rain boot, as well as 18 pairs of high heeled shoes, many of which were in boxes when they were found.
The home is understood to be one of several locations in which Diddy is accused of holding so-called 'freak-off' parties, which the indictment against him described as 'elaborate and produced sex performances' that involved women being coerced into sex and drug abuse.
'Freak-off activity is the core of this case, and freak-offs are inherently dangerous,' prosecutor Emily A. Johnson said during a hearing in September.
Authorities claim that Diddy held these 'freak-offs' in a number of locations, including at his Holmby Hills mansion, his estate on Miami's exclusive Star Island, as well as several hotel rooms. Agents were preciously said to have found more than 1,000 bottles of baby oil and several firearms during their raids on his two properties.
Diddy previously dragged his Miami home into his case shortly after his arrest, when he offered the property up as collateral as part of a failed $50 million bail plea.
The rapper appeared before a judge in a Manhattan courtroom soon after he was taken into custody, when he offered to post a $50 million bond to secure his release.
However, his bail plea was rejected by the judge, who ordered that the rapper be taken to jail where he will await the start of his trial, agreeing with prosecutors that Diddy is too much of a risk to be allowed to go free, despite his lawyers offering up a very sizable bail proposal.
That package included his mansion on Miami's exclusive Star Island, which was valued at $48 million in the bail plea; his mother's Miami home was also included to cover the other $2 million in the total bail offer.
Diddy also offered to limit his travel to Miami and New York City, and claimed that he would keep his private jet—which he said he was trying to sell—parked in Los Angeles, to limit flight risk.
At the time, it was revealed that the music mogul had 'paid off the remaining mortgage of about $18 million' on his Miami dwelling 'in anticipation' of the bail hearing.
Meanwhile, Diddy's other main residence—an expansive property in Los Angeles—was put on the market just one week before his arrest, with an asking price of $61.5 million.
Property records indicate that the home is still listed, despite the ongoing trial, with the same price.

17 illegal migrants discovered crammed in RV, sedan in sweltering Arizona heat

A man has been arrested and charged with human smuggling after 17 illegal migrants were found crammed inside an RV and a nearby sedan in the sweltering Arizona heat Wednesday. The majority of the illegal migrants, who are all from Mexico, were found packed inside the cramped RV which was parked on a property in Nogales as temperatures inside soared under the summer sun, according to Sean L. McGoffin, chief patrol agent of Border Patrol's Tucson Sector. Those inside the RV, including a minor, had limited space and ventilation with no access to running water, McGoffin said. The rest of the migrants were wedged into a small sedan that was discovered during a vehicle stop. "This rescue likely prevented a tragedy," McGoffin said. "With summer temperatures already climbing, packing people into trailers and vehicles without proper ventilation or water is a recipe for disaster. Human lives should never be treated as cargo." All the migrants are now safe, in custody and will be processed accordingly, McCoffin said. The rescued individuals are being processed for expedited removal in accordance with U.S. immigration law. The man who was arrested is a U.S. citizen and initially attempted to flee the scene on foot but was apprehended by agents shortly after. Investigators are working to determine whether others were involved. The operation was carried out by Nogales Border Patrol, Nogales Police and Homeland Security Investigations. "No recreation happening in this vehicle, instead it was used by smugglers forcing people to hide out in inhumane conditions in sweltering heat," McGoffin said. "Although no one was injured, the situation shows the danger illegal aliens face in the hands of smugglers."

Officers throw flash bangs to disperse crowd protesting immigration enforcement in Los Angeles

Immigration Labor unionsFacebookTweetLink Follow Protests against immigration raids in downtown Los Angeles Friday intensified into the evening – prompting authorities in riot gear to deploy tear gas and flash bangs to disperse crowds. Police on Friday night issued a citywide tactical alert nearly two hours after declaring protests across the downtown area unlawful assemblies. 'The use of less lethal munitions has been authorized by the Incident Commander,' LAPD's Central Division wrote in a post on X. The protest came after at least 44 people were arrested by federal immigration agents earlier in the day, the Associated Press reported, after Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers executed search warrants at three locations, according to a spokesperson for Homeland Security Investigations. CNN has reached out to the Department of Homeland Security for further information. One of the raids that took place on Friday was in the city's Fashion District, where agents served a search warrant after a judge determined a business was allegedly using fictitious documents for some of its workers, US Attorney's office spokesperson Ciaran McEvoy told CNN. David Huerta, the president of the Service Employees International Union California was arrested by federal agents after allegedly attempting to obstruct their access at a worksite, US Attorney for the Central District of California Bill Essayli said in a post on X. 'Let me be clear: I don't care who you are—if you impede federal agents, you will be arrested and prosecuted,' Essayli said. After being treated for injuries from his arrest, Huerta released a statement condemning the citywide raids. 'Hard-working people, and members of our family and our community, are being treated like criminals,' he said. 'We all collectively have to object to this madness because this is not justice. This is injustice. And we all have to stand on the right side of justice.' 'No one should ever be harmed for witnessing government action,' California Gov. Gavin Newsom said in a statement responding to Huerta's arrest, describing the union president as a 'respected leader, a patriot and an advocate for working people.' Protesters gathered outside the Federal Building in downtown Los Angeles at roughly 4 p.m., CNN affiliate KABC reported. At one point, hundreds of activists began marching toward a detention facility on Temple Street. One video obtained by CNN shows protesters retreating from the building's entrance after coming face-to-face with the police guarding it. Several projectiles are thrown at officers equipped with body armor and protective shields. In response, the police are seen throwing smoke bombs to disperse protesters and pinning at least one person to the ground. Other videos show the detention center sprayed with graffiti, with some protesters blocking LAPD vehicles close by. Families and friends who had loved ones taken by immigration authorities visited the detention center to learn more about their status, KABC reported. A young woman who spoke with the outlet said she went to the building in tears after her father was taken by federal agents. The LAPD declared an unlawful assembly around 7 p.m. and warned demonstrators were subject to arrest if they remained in the area. Aerial footage from KABC shows law enforcement throwing smoke bombs on a street to disperse people so they could make way for SUVs and military-style vehicles. 'While the LAPD will continue to have a visible presence in all our communities to ensure public safety, we will not assist or participate in any sort of mass deportations, nor will the LAPD try to determine an individual's immigration status,' police chief Jim McDonnell said in a statement about the immigration enforcement activities. 'I want everyone, including our immigrant community, to feel safe calling the police in their time of need and know that the LAPD will be there for you without regard to one's immigration status.' In a statement released Friday, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass slammed immigration enforcement actions as tactics to 'sow terror' in the community and 'disrupt basic principles of safety.' 'As Mayor of a proud city of immigrants, who contribute to our city in so many ways, I am deeply angered by what has taken place,' she said. CNN's Martin Goillandeau and Sarah Dewberry contributed to this report.
