Cassie Ventura to Testify Under Her Name in Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ Federal Sex Trafficking Trial

Singer and actress Cassie Ventura will testify under her real name in the upcoming federal trial of Sean “Diddy” Combs, who faces charges including sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation for prostitution. The trial is scheduled to begin on May 5, 2025, in New York.

Ventura, who filed a lawsuit against Combs in November 2023 alleging a decade of abuse, settled the case shortly after filing. Despite the settlement, she is expected to provide key testimony in the criminal proceedings.

A 2016 surveillance video, reportedly showing Combs assaulting Ventura in a hotel hallway, is anticipated to be presented as evidence during the trial. Combs’ legal team attempted to suppress the video, arguing it was prejudicial, but the judge ruled it admissible.

Prosecutors allege that Combs operated a criminal enterprise through his entertainment ventures, organizing events where women were coerced into sexual acts. Authorities discovered evidence during raids on his homes in March 2024.

Combs remains in custody at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn as the trial approaches. The trial will not be televised, but updates will be available through various news outlets.
