New York (AP) – the trial of the sexual crimes of the Sean Combs “Didi” included the testimony of 34 witnesses.
They included the former friend of Combs Cassie and Jane, who said they forced them to appear before sexual marathons, a sex worker, whom they knew as a “punisher”, personal assistants who said that they were witnesses to violence and other women who accused him of brutal circulation.
The judge must make a verdict on Friday to the Combs, which was convicted in July for transporting people through state lines for the purpose of prostitution.
While ComBS was justified for trading in sex and racketeering, the judge can consider all the testimony of the court when he decides the sentence. Combs could receive years of prison.
Here are some of the key witnesses and what they said during the trial.

Cassie, the singer R&B, whose real name is Kasandra Ventura, met with Combs from 2007 to 2018 after he signed her on his label “bad boys”. Within four days, she showed that Combs beat her, and ordered that she had “disgusting” sex with men-employees during multi-day “amazing waste”. She also said that Combs raped her after she said that she was finishing their relationship.
In 2016, Combs recorded security cameras, hit, kicked and dragged Cassie when she left his room in the Intercontinental Hotel in Los -Andheles. The video was shown repeatedly in court.
