Didi jury hears the discovery of remarks when the trial of sex begins

Warning: This story contains unpleasant details

The prosecutor’s office opened its case, accusing the hip-hop Magnate “Diddz”, using glory and violence for women’s sexual abuse, while rapper’s lawyers defended their “Swinger” and rejected sexual trade claims.

The 55-year-old guy did not find himself guilty of the charge, including racketeering, sex trafficking and transportation for prostitution.

Following the entrance statements on Monday, the court heard the first witnesses of the prosecutors, including a hotel guard, where Mr. Combs is being considered in today’s video that beat his former girlfriend in 2016.

For his testimony, followed by a man who said that Mr. Kombs abused his ex-girl during paid sexual meetings with the couple.

After Monday Monday morning, the government and lawyers of Mr. Kombs outlined a panel of 12 jurors and six alternations.

Prosecutor Emily Johnson has accused Mr. Kombs of using the status of celebrity and “devoted” to the internal circle of employees of sexual abuse of women and managing a criminal enterprise.

She focused on two central casualties in this case – a former girl Mr. Kombs, Cassandra Ventura and another unnamed former girl.

Prosecutors claimed that Mr. Kombs used violence and threatened Mrs. Ventura’s musical career to force her to perform the incompatible, humiliating sexual acts with prostitutes during the so-called “freaks” shot by Mr. Kombs.

The defendant “had power to ruin her life,” said Ms. Ventura.

As the prosecutor’s office described the obvious details of the allegations against Mr. Kombs, he was sitting in gray sweats and pants with an empty look, and his hands were on his knees.

The government’s case is based on CCTV, which shows how Mr. Combs beat Mrs. Ventur and pulls her hair in the hall of the hotel in the Los -Angeles in 2016.

Lawyers for Mr. Kombs stated that the video was a testimony to Mr. Kombs’ character, but no more criminal enterprise. “Violence in the family is not a trade in sex,” said Tenni Herogos, the lawyer of Mr. Combs.

Ms Heragos said that Mr. Combs had a “slightly different sex life” – and moved attention to the women who accused him by calling them “capable, strong women” who decided to stay with the rapper.

They had “freedom to make the choice they made,” said Ms Herahos.

The first witness of the prosecutor’s office, a former guard named Israel Flores, worked at the hotel, on the site of video viral CCTV, showing that Mr. Kombs attacked his former girlfriend. The clip, which CNN released last year, played for the jury on Monday.

On March 5, 2016, Mr. Flores told the juror at an intercontinental hotel in Los -Angeles, he called “a woman who was in trouble” on the sixth floor.

He said he found Mr. Grebniak in a towel there, leaning on his chair with a “devilish” look on his face and a broken weight on the floor. Ms. Ventura was sitting in a corner with a covered face, said Mr. Flores.

Mr. Flores told the prosecutors that Ms. Ventura continued to say that he wanted to leave, but Mr. Kombs told her he could not.

He testified that Ms. Ventura had a purple look, but did not want to call the police, and she eventually went into a black SUV with a seven -meter (2.1 meters) drivers.

Mr. Flores claimed that he later to “get away”, Mr. Kombs tried to pass him cash, but he refused.

Mr. Combs lawyers tried to promote the holes in Mr. Flores’ claim, asking why he did not include certain details – for example, the purple eye of Ms. Ventura – in the incident report that he submitted after.

Daniel Philip, a former head of men’s strippers, followed by his testimony, who said he met Mr. Combs and Mrs. Ventura after his chief asked him to fill as a strip for a bachelor.

But, said Mr. Philip, he was met at the hotel instead of Ms. Ventura, who told him it was her birthday and her husband wanted to give her a gift.

Mr. Philip told the court that he would have sex with Mrs. Ventura several times – meetings that lasted up to 10 hours, sometimes under the influence of drugs – as Mr. Kombs looked and filmed.

He claimed that he witnessed that Mr. Combs was attacking Ms. Ventur at least twice, including once he pulled her hair when she shouted “sorry”. Then Mr. Kombs returned to the room with Mrs. Ventura and asked them to have sex before him, said Mr. Philip.

“I was shocked,” he said. “It came out anywhere. I was horrified.”

Mr. Philip claimed that he did not call the police, fearing that Mr. Kombs was “a man with unlimited force” and that he could “lose his life” for his report.

It is planned that the lawsuit will continue on Tuesday, if it is expected to have a ventura.

In the crowded court building on Monday, Kombs – including his daughters – saw their hands. His mother was also photographed, leaving the court with his publicist.
