DIDDY ON TRIAL RECAP: Jury hears from first immunized and expert witnesses

Jurors in Sean “Diddy” Combs’ sex trafficking and racketeering trial on Wednesday heard from a former Combs employee who agreed to testify only after he was guaranteed that he would not be prosecuted for any crimes he might have detailed. Prosecutors used the testimony of former Combs assistant George Kaplan to try to prove how Combs allegedly built a criminal enterprise that would feed his sexual desires while protecting his public persona. Psychologist Dawn Hughes was called by prosecutors to explain to the jury that many people opt to stay in abusive relationships because they feel trapped or form an “intense psychological bond” that draws them to their abuser.  Jurors also saw the trove of drugs allegedly found in Combs’ residence, including a variety of pills, marijuana, powders, and other drugs that prosecutors have alleged were used to make women compliant during freak offs and would allow them to perform long past the point of exhaustion.   Learn more about your ad choices.
