Speaker 2 (00:22):
Jennifer Nancy. The dark depths of Sean Diddycombe's alleged empire
continued to unravel in Manhattan Federal District Court as his
sex trafficking trial entered its fifth grueling week, facing a
potential life sentence. The hip hop mogul listened as a
former girlfriend, testifying under the pseudonym Jane, delivered more harrowing
(00:44):
accounts of drug fueled freak offs and alleged coercion, painting
a portrait of control and depravity. On Day twenty four, Jane,
who dated Combs until his September twenty twenty four arrest,
resumed her explosive testimony, detailing hotel knights sexual encounters with
mail escorts that Combs allegedly orchestrated. She tearfully explained her endurance,
(01:10):
believing these encounters were necessary to secure her financial lifeline,
including her monthly rent. Here's crime on Lines Dave Mack.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Jane says after the twenty twenty three trip to Turks
and Keko's, she entered into a love contract with Combs.
Jane said they agreed on a two year contract because
the match of the time they had already spent in
the relationship. Jane said she moved into a house where
Combs paid the rent in April of twenty twenty three.
Asked by prosecutor, comy, who's paying the rent now, Jane
says Sean.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Jane recalled a twenty twenty two Turks and Cacost trip
where Combs chillingly nicknamed her crack Pipe, a moniker, she
claimed underscored his pervasive control over her. Jane described a
brutal twenty four hour session with an escort named Paul,
leaving her quote extremely sore in tears end quote, yet
(02:01):
Comb's allegedly dismissed her pain. In a new disturbing twist,
Jane testified about actively using these hotel nights to manipulate Ditty.
She recounted an incident on vacation when Ditty was with
another woman, young Miami. Jane allegedly pulled the hotel night card,
warning Diddy quote he wouldn't get to do anything he
(02:23):
wanted with her end quote if he stayed with Young Miami.
After did, he abruptly left his vacation early. Jane claimed
she arranged a Valentine's Day freak off with two different
entertainers as a quote unquote treat for him. She further
revealed they would often role play and watch Dateline together.
Defense attorney Tenny Garrigos vigorously cross examined Jane, attempting to
(02:48):
portray her as a willing participant by highlighting affectionate texts
such as, quote, we don't have to go crazy for
the rest of the year end quote. Comb's allegedly texted
Jane in twenty twenty one and suggesting mutual planning of
hotel nights. Jane vehemently countered, stating she was quote positively
reinforcing him so he didn't feel rejected end quote. Garagos
(03:11):
also pressed Jane on her alleged jealousy over Combe's attention
to other women, including Cassie Ventura. Prosecutor's allege Didy's entire
empire facilitated these sex crimes with employees coordinating the freak offs. Didty,
known as puff Daddy and Love denies all coercion, admitting
to past domestic violence, but steadfastly insisting all sexual encounters
(03:35):
were consensual. Testimony continues Thursday, with Jane's cross examination expected

Speaker 1 (03:57):
Thanks Jennifer.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
More crime and justice news after this, The pre dawn
quiet of a valley village home shattered in a terrifying
instant when a woman asleep on her couch awoke not
to her alarm, but to.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
A silent stranger standing just feet away from her. The figure,
a man, was caught not with his pants down. He
was completely naked from the waist down and pleasuring himself,
turning her sanctuary into a scene straight out of a nightmare.
The terrified homeowner, identified only as Amy, spoke to KTLA
five News.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
It was pretty terrifying.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
That's for a woman.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
It's like the most I think HiT's our most primal
fear right a sexual assault.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Amy told authorities she was asleep on her couch when
she opened her eyes to the chilling site while inside
her home on Otsego Street at one fifty two in
the morning. She scrambled, grabbed her dog and phone, and
then bolted for her very life right out the back door.
She then ran across the street, hiding in her neighbor's
bushes as she frantically called nine one one. She says
she just kept watching the house, but the guy didn't leave.
(05:06):
LAPD finally arrived and apprehended the intruder. The suspect, described
as wearing a poncho on top, but only socks and
sandals on his feet, was cuffed. The man was later
taken for a mental health evaluation. Once back inside, Amy's
fear did not subside. She found her naked intruder had
removed her undergarments from the laundry basket and had them
(05:28):
placed right next to a picture of her that he
had moved. But that's not all the most disturbing twist
in this already unsettling saga. Because Amy's back door was unlocked,
official say this poncho wearing purp will not face a
burglary charge. The maximum he can face is trespassing, and
(05:49):
finally turns out virtual court hearings and making lunch are
a recipe for disaster. A Detroit judge just booted a
single mom from her zoom hearing because she was busy
whipping up a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and plain sight.
Video from the hearing shows Asia outer Bridge, a fashion stylist,
straight up making the peb and jay while on camera,
(06:12):
much to the dismay of thirty sixth District Court Judge
Sean Perkins. He also had a major issue with her
courtroom attire, a casual T shirt and a bathrobe. Again,
it's on zoom. Though outer Bridge tried to explain she
was having a mommy day because her three year old
was sick, but the judge wasn't having it. Take a listen,
my daughter sick, I.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
Had to keep her hand from school. I'm just trying
to be her. That is eighty.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
You're in court, Bridge, Bridge. I'm sorry that your daughters said,
but again, you're in court, okay, and we're going to
treat it as such.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Between the sandwich, the bathrobe, and outer Bridge's alleged lateness
for her misdemeanor open alcohol container charge. Perkins promptly kicked
her offline. Outer Bridge said she had waited for hours
in the Zoom waiting room, but admitted she, quote on quote,
could have come better prepared. She also feels though the
judge could have had some mercy on a single mom,
(07:06):
maybe he's more of a ham and cheese guy.
