Sean Combs’ legal team argues that the alleged victim was in control and enjoyed the encounters
The lawyers didn’t really explain how they figured out the woman was having a good time, but they claim to have watched the videos under supervision. Prosecutors, on the other hand, say Combs used drugs to keep the women compliant during these encounters.
Diddy is currently locked up in Brooklyn, waiting for his trial in May. His lawyers insist that the woman in the videos was not just consenting but was also happy and in control. They argue that the videos clearly show she enjoyed herself.
Combs, who’s 54, is facing some heavy charges, including sex trafficking and racketeering. Prosecutors allege he ran Bad Boy Records like a criminal enterprise for years, abusing women along the way. They say he forced women into these long sexual performances with male escorts while he watched.
He reportedly filmed these encounters to use as leverage against the women. His legal team is asking the court to let them view the tapes without supervision, claiming they need to prepare for trial. They also argue that the government is overstepping by criminalizing what they see as consensual adult behavior.
The case has drawn a lot of media attention, especially after a civil suit from his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura revealed some disturbing footage. Combs has pleaded not guilty to all charges and could face life in prison if convicted.
