In a closing argument during a six-week trial, U.S. prosecutors claimed that Sean Diddy Combs leveraged his wealth and influence to avoid accountability for violent abuse against women. They asserted that he controlled a criminal conspiracy, fostering an environment of fear and coercion. Testimonies revealed disturbing accounts of sexual exploitation, manipulation, and the use of intimidation tactics through a network of employees. Prosecutor Christy Slavik emphasized Combs's perceived immunity due to his fame, while defense attorneys countered by framing the accusations as misinterpretations of a consensual lifestyle.
The defendant used power, violence and fear to get what he wanted, prosecutor Christy Slavik told jurors in her address.
Combs pushed people to participate in drug-fuelled sex parties known as freak offs, with footage of sex acts used as leverage.
