Jurors in Sean “Diddy” Combs’ sex trafficking trial saw more X-rated videos of the rapper’s “freak-off” sexual encounters on Monday, during which Combs was caught “craning his neck” to get a peek, according to The New York Post. Combs’ trial, now in its seventh week, is scheduled to conclude with closing arguments on Thursday, and the jury is expected to have a verdict before July 4. Combs is accused of using his money and power to coerce girlfriends into unwanted sexual activity through blackmail, threats, financial control, and brutal beatings. His behavior in court during the trial drew reprimand from the trial judge earlier this month, when he was caught “nodding vigorously” at jurors. This time, Combs was caught trying to see what the jurors saw on Monday, as they were played a 12-minute compilation of several explicit clips dated November 2021, December 2021, February 2022, August 2022, and October 2022, according to CNN, which also reports that Combs appears in the videos. Combs’ “freak-offs” were hours or sometimes days-long, video-recorded sex performances that his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura and another anonymous woman testified they would engage in with male escorts, for Combs’ pleasure. The disgraced rapper has insisted that all acts were consensual. He denies all charges, which, in addition to sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion, include racketeering conspiracy and transportation to engage in prostitution. He faces life in prison if convicted, but is not expected to testify on his own behalf.
