Diddy Won't Take Stand in Own Defense After 4 Days of Gripping Testimony From Cassie: Report
Sean "Diddy" Combs is not expected to take the stand in his own defense at his trial on sex trafficking, racketeering and other charges

Sean "Diddy" Combs is not expected to take the stand in his own defense as his trial on sex trafficking, racketeering and other charges completes its sixth week.
Combs, 55, won't take the stand, according to PEOPLE, citing multiple anonymous sources in its report. Combs has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
The report comes after four days of testimony from Combs' ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura. According to PEOPLE, Ventura described 11 years of alleged abuse and drug-fueled "freak off" parties
The outlet also reported that two women, identified under the pseudonyms "Mia" and "Jane" previously took the stand to detail alleged abuse. Combs has denied that he coerced women into sex and into participating in "freak off" parties. Among the allegations is that he used bodyguards and his power and influence to orchestrate and cover up the activities, PEOPLE has reported.
A third woman, identified as victim 3 is no longer expected to take the stand. A fifth woman who was going to testify under her own name, also is no longer going to take the stand.
USA TODAY reported that on Tuesday, jurors got to see video of alleged "freak off" from 2012 through 2014. The sexual performances involved the hiring of male prostitutes to perform marathon sex acts.
Some receipts from hotels where alleged "freak offs" were held were entered into evidence. For example, the documents included a $4,000 a day hotel suite and $46,786 in damages to the penthouse of the Intercontinental New York in Times Square on Oct. 5, 2012, the newspaper reported.
According to federal prosecutors, damages from the "freak offs" were often caused by the extensive use of materials such as baby oil, candle wax, and other materials.
Brendan Paul, Comb's former assistant, is expected to testify Wednesday.
