Diddy “Freak off” videos should be hidden from the public in the trial: Federal

Prosecutors want to ensure that the public does not see the “Freak off” videos produced by Sean “Diddy” Combs, which they say that they will present as exhibitions during his next criminal sex traffic trial.

Even the audio of these videos should not reach the ears of the public and the press, argued on Friday the assistant American prosecutor Madison Smyser at a court conference.

“These are extremely sensitive videos, they will involve videos of” Freak Offs “, said Smyser. “They involve other parties, victims and, in certain videos, Mr. Combres.”

Smyser said that the prosecutors and defense lawyers were trying to have the jurors could see and hear the videos when presented in court.

The accusation act, brought by federal prosecutors to Manhattan, accuses combs of sexual traffic and racketeering.

The main victim of prosecutors has identified is Cassie Ventura, who was in a romantic relationship with combs for 10 years. According to the prosecutors, the combs have sexually abused Ventura through “freights”, which they described as elaborate and long sexual performance that the Combtes staged, masturbated during and often recorded.

Prosecutors identified four other accusers who should testify as victims of the trial. The judge also authorized a “propensity witness”, a former identified romantic partner who is ready to testify by name on previous abuse defendants, but who is not considered a victim in criminal charges. Some witnesses should also include sex professional who have been recruited for “freak offs”.

Combs was attentive at the Friday’s Friday conference on Friday before the jury start on May 5.

The hip-hop artist wore a khaki prison costume and what seemed to be zipper shoes without lakes.

Before the start of the hearing, Combs embraced its three avocados, then hugged one of his male lawyers. Throughout the conference, he sipped the water with an unusually small plastic cup on the defense table before him.

The American district judge Arun Subramanian, who oversees the criminal case of Combs, asked the prosecutors to provide legal justifications to seal the “freak off” videos, which would become judicial files if they were to be put into proof.

Prosecutors said they would file a letter providing examples where similar procedures were followed in other cases. In R. Kelly’s trial in Brooklyn, the court asked jurors to watch videos of sexual abuse on small screens in front of their jury seats while wearing headphones, while journalists and public members were kept away from the courtroom.

The “medical procedure” of a victim

During the hearing on Friday, prosecutors also said they wanted an accuser to testify to a “medical procedure” which, according to them, was the result of a “panic”.

Combs’ defense lawyers argued that the procedure was not sufficiently linked to the conduct described in the indictment and that the accuser should not be able to testify about the experience.

A by-product finally concluded that he would wait to see what the victim would testify to this before deciding if the prosecutors could ask questions about the alleged medical procedure.

The judge also rendered a decision making the scope of what Dawn Hughes, an expert in interpersonal relations, would be authorized to testify. Hughes, who previously testified in the trial between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard, and is expected to testify in the during the Harvey Weinstein trial, should testify on behalf of Combs. Combs lawyers said that it would partially testify to the lifestyle of the “swingers” in which the singer had participated.

Subramanian previously resolved most of the other legal issues before the trial, which should take place in the same audience room of Manhattan Lower where the Jailmate de Combtes, Sam Bankman, had his trial.

The judge enabled the Combs team to obtain Ventura memory projects for the counter-examination, but did not allow them to obtain other tickets, emails or bank files they had requested.

Subramanian also forced Warner Bros. To give the lawyers of Combs interviewing images with two accusers taken for a maximum documentary, “The Fall of Diddy”. A Combs lawyer said on Friday’s hearing that they expected to receive the images next week.

The content of Ventura’s memories has never been made public, and little information on this subject is known.

Combs lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, discussed memoirs during an hearing as a September judge, where he asked a judge to allow Combres to stay in prison before the criminal trial.

Agnifilo said that Combs and Ventura had a consensual relationship, although complicated and complicated, and that it essentially tried to extort it with the recovery of memories after its end. In November 2023, Combs settled a civilian trial of the sexual abuses that Ventura brought against him.

“” My client wrote a book, and she will publish it, but if you want to buy the rights, then you will have the exclusive rights, and she will not be able to publish it. “” Said Agnifilo, characterizing an offer from one of the previous lawyers in Ventura. “‘And you know what, you can buy the rights for $ 30 million.'”

Later, Ventura retained another lawyer and continued her comb under the New York adult survivors, alleging sexual abuses,

“‘I am not really there to embarrass you up to $ 30 million; I will bring this civilian sexual complaint against you’,” said Agnifilo, allegedly citing the other Ventura lawyer.

The arguments of Agnifilo did not succeed. Combs has been held in the Brooklyn metropolitan detention center since September.
