The alleged victims of P. Diddy are women motivated by “money”, supported the Hip-Hop tycoon lawyers on Friday during their final argument in their trial for sexual trafficking marked by weeks of overwhelming testimonies.
Marc Agnifilo crossed the members of the jury of the Court of Manhattan, in New York, the table presented by the accusation, namely that of a violent and dominant man, who used his power and his fortune to feed a “climate of fear” and force women to present humiliating sexual marathons.
The 55 -year -old rap star is a “black businesswoman who succeeded without anyone’s help” and has maintained “complicated” relationships with his accusations, but at the end of the “love stories” made, he argued the lawyer.
“This is not a matter of justice. It is not a crime. It is a matter of money,” he said, the defense arguing that the accusers had benefited from their relationship with P. Diddy, of their real name are combs.
“Drug addicts, brushed with oil, exhausted”
The R&B singer Casandra Ventura, by her name as an artist, Cassie, and “Jane”, a woman who remained anonymous, told in detail how they had been forced to participate in marathons called “Freak-Offs” with prostituted men, in choreographed stages, to satisfy the wishes of the rapper who paid or filmed.
“It was absolutely no choice,” he had repeated, five hours for Thursday, prosecutor Christy Slavik, and added that the alleged victims “were drugged, brushed from oil, exhausted and badly.”
P. Diddy “did not accept the ‘no’ as a possible answer,” he insisted, recalling the control he exercised about his former partner “Cassie” and the rentals paid for his other ex, Jane, who became financially dependent on the rapper.
“Cassie is anything but silly. His fortune is around 30 million dollars. If there is a winner in this case, it is she,” said Mr. Agnifilo on Friday before the jurors who will have to determine the fate of the founder of the Bad Boy Records label.
“She loves sex”
Ex-Partner de P. Diddy for a decade, Cassie had filed a complaint against him in Civil in 2023, a litigation that gave rise to a friendly agreement in less than 24 hours, but had opened the valves of a real accusation against the rapper and, therefore, the path to this criminal trial.
“She (Cassie) has always been free to leave. She had chosen to stay because she was in love with her and that she was in love with her (…), loves sex and very well,” added the lawyer, calling her “beautiful” and “sexy.” He also described the relationship of Cassie and P. Diddy as “a great love story bite”.
P. Diddy declared himself innocent and decided not to testify, a current defense strategy in the United States. Their lawyers do not have to demonstrate their client’s innocence, but rather sow a reasonable doubt among jury members about prosecutors.
During the trial, rapper lawyers did everything possible to discredit control witnesses one by one with muscle counter -expansions. Cassie was subjected to a fire fire, with the aim of granting it that she participated with her own free will in sexual parts with other men.
“I am still ready” for a “monster,” he wrote to her partner in 2009. The singer did not play, while explaining that she was in the control of Sean combs.
Cassie and “Jane” admitted that their respective relationship implied love, but at the same time they were subject to threats linked to their reputation, their financial situation and physical integrity.
The accusation will have the last word, the Maurene Comey prosecutor has to refute the defense thesis for the last time. The judge will give his instructions on Monday to the jurors who will retire to deliberate.
“Collective violation”
Parallel to this trial, the flood of accusations aimed at P. Diddy, which emanates from more than one hundred people, increased even more this week.
The rapper is the objective of three new complaints for sexual assault filed in the Court in Los Angeles, which AFP was able to consult Friday.
They emanate from a woman from Louisiana (south), who accuses the son of the rapper, Justin, of having attracted him to the angels so that his father would submit to collective rape in 2017.
Two men also accuse the rapper of having drugged to violate them during the afternoons in 2021 and 2023.
“Regardless of the number of legal procedures presented, that will not change the fact that Mr. Combs has never sexually assaulted or exploited anyone,” he reacted his defense in the US media.
