Diddy on Trial: ‘Jane’ Tells Court of Sex Night With Different Famous Rapper

The former partner of Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs has finished her fifth and final day of testimony at his trial. ‘Jane’, who is using a pseudonym to protect her identity, was cross-examined by Diddy’s defence and asked more questions by the prosecution. She also told the court about a sex night in Las Vegas with another famous rapper and his girlfriend.

She testified about ‘hotel nights’, Diddy paying her rent and lavish birthday parties, telling the court that she would have given all the gifts back if ‘she didn’t have to have sex with men other than Diddy’. The defence asked ‘Jane’ about the thousands of dollars she received from Diddy during their relationship, in addition to her rent.

Anoushka Mutanda-Dougherty speaks to BBC New York correspondent Nada Tawfik and criminal defence attorney Shaun Kent about the week in court.

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is on trial in New York, facing federal charges of sex trafficking, racketeering with conspiracy and transportation for prostitution. He denies all the charges.
