‘I was repulsed': Diddy ex-girlfriend recounts sex marathons with strangers
LOWER MANHATTAN — Days-long, drug-fueled sex sessions with strangers, organized and recorded by her boyfriend, hip hop and fashion mogul Sean 'Diddy' Combs, is what an anonymous witness claimed on the witness stand on Friday. It was the latest development in the racketeering, sex trafficking, and prostitution trial against the entertainment impresario. More Crime News It took place in a courtroom on the 15th floor of the federal courthouse on Pearl Street. The witness, who is officially identified only as 'Jane Doe,' or just 'Jane,' insisted on anonymity. She had been Combs's girlfriend from 2021 until 2024. She broke down crying on the stand multiple times during her soft-voiced, low-volume testimony. She described what she called 'hotel nights' — marathon sex sessions with men whom Combs mostly found on the escort website Cowboys4Angels or on pornography sites, she said. Jane testified that the sessions were at least once a week, and usually longer than just one night. 'What was the longest hotel night you remember?' the prosecutor asked in testimony. 'New Year's 2022,' Jane replied. She elaborated that it lasted 'Three-and-a-half days.' 'Did you sleep?' asked the prosecutor. 'Not 'til the end,' Jane said. When asked by the prosecutor how she was able to have such stamina in having sex with other men while Combs watched, commented, stimulated himself, and sometimes filmed, Jane said it was drug-fueled. 'Ecstasy, Molly, cocaine,' she said, '2C, weed,' she continued, referring to a psychedelic drug powder, and cocaine. It was all supplied by Combs, Jane testified, adding, 'I just felt like I had to take them. If I didn't, it would feel too real.' She also testified that on two occasions she did 'hotel nights' without using illicit drugs. On one of these occasions, three different men were involved, as Combs watched, she said. 'I hated it so much,' she testified. 'I was just disgusted, repulsed. So mad at myself,' she said. The testimony is part of prosecutors' strategy to show that 'Jane,' the third former girlfriend of Diddy's to testify about his pattern of having them have sex with unknown men while he watched, is part of a pattern of criminal exploitation. That's was pointed out by Heather Cucolo, a professor at New York Law School who's a specialist in mental health and psychological issues and the law. 'The prosecution has to make sure that the jury understands that they have to listen to this whole picture,' Cucolo said in an interview. She said that in order for the prosecution to prove its case of racketeering, sex trafficking and prostitution, it has to show that 'the abuse, the control, and the coercion, and the drug-fueled marathon were part of this overarching criminal enterprise.' 'Jane' takes the witness stand again on Monday, when she's scheduled to begin to be questioned by the defense. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

2C road re-paving begins in Colorado Springs
(COLORADO SPRINGS) — The City of Colorado Springs has started re-paving projects throughout the city using voter-approved 2C tax funds. The City started in the Broadmoor Bluffs Neighborhood in May, but plans to expand their workload for the summer. 'This year, we're focused mostly to the west side of the city, but we're going to be hitting Bridle Pass Drive. We're going to be hitting Test Drive, which is nearby there, Oro Blanco, we are going to be on Flying W Ranch,' said Bryan Wilson, the City's Operations Manager for 2C. Work is also planned for other streets across the City. They will use an O-C-I index to make sure they are hitting streets that are right in the sweet spot of being in good condition and needing a full repair. 'They give us a score on a 0 to 100 scale.' Wilson commented, 'The 2C program focuses on roads that are between a 30 O-C-I value and 70 because those are roads that have significant distress.' The city also said if your road is in need of repair, to 'be patient' because if there are water lines underneath that also need replacing in the next couple of years, they want to hold off so the road isn't patched with repairs just a couple years later.

Cheyenne Road bridge temporary closure for maintenance
(COLORADO SPRINGS) — The City of Colorado Springs announced that the Cheyenne Road bridge west of Cresta Road will be closed from Thursday, April 3, through Friday, April 11, for maintenance work. According to the city, the Cheyenne Road bridge sits about 200 ft. west of Cresta Road, where work is currently being done on the Cresta Road Bridge, as of Tuesday, April 1. According to the City, work on the Cresta Road bridge should be finished on April 2 before work on the Cheyenne Road bridge begins. Work on the Cheyenne Road bridge will include waterproofing the bridge structure, replacing the pavement, and other repairs. The work is expected to extend the service life of the bridge and limit future repairs and road closures. Drivers should give themselves extra time to take alternate routes during construction. The maintenance work will happen before 2C's repaving in the area this summer. All work should be completed before the 2025 United States Senior Open at the Broadmoor in late June.

Colorado Springs construction projects this summer
(COLORADO SPRINGS) — Colorado Springs Mayor Yemi Mobolade held a press conference on Wednesday, March 20, to provide an update on infrastructure and road construction projects across the city. The mayor says this year alone, there's been over 800 requests to get potholes filled. City employees are working hard to get them done, but the mayor says that's only a temporary solution. He says the real solution lies in repaving our roads, made possible by the 2C road improvement program. The City announced plans to improve Oro Blanco Drive, Flying W Ranch Road, Cheyenne Boulevard, and South Chelton Road. The mayor added that if there was concrete work done last year in your neighborhood, road improvements are coming your way this year. Next week, the long-anticipated downtown Tejon Street revitalization project begins, while many active projects continue. 'We are making significant progress on major infrastructure projects, including the ongoing reconstruction of Academy Boulevard and the replacement of Circle Drive bridges,' said Mayor Mobolade. 'In just the first three months of this year, we have made great strides in the widening of Marksheffel Road, and I'm pleased to share that Dublin Boulevard is nearing its final engineering stage with construction to begin later this year.' City officials also spoke about updating the parks system master plan. Over the course of this summer, they'll be looking for community input on the future of our parks and recreation. They say to stay tuned to the City's website if you'd like your voice to be heard. If you're interested in watching today's press conference in it's entirety, you can do so by clicking here.
