The woman speaking under the pseudonym Jane took the stand for a second day in the sex trafficking and racketeering trial, delivering emotional, graphic testimony in the federal criminal proceedings against Combs, the 55-year-old superstar known as “Diddy.”
Jane told jurors in the Manhattan courtroom that she, assistants of Combs or the artist himself would book travel for the escorts, who would frequently be paid by Combs in the thousands of dollars in cash or via apps.
Her description closely tracked with the testimony of a previous star witness, Casandra Ventura, who said the encounters were called “freak-offs.”
The encounters virtually always left her sore and in pain and she suffered frequent infections, Jane testified.
Evidence read in court included lengthy text exchanges between Jane and Combs, as well as diaristic notes Jane had taken for herself on her phone that corroborate her testimony.
“I’m so much more than being loved in the dark in hotel rooms doing things that make me feel disgusted,“ she texted Combs. “I don’t want to play this role in your life anymore.”
“I don’t want to feel obligated to perform these nights with you in fear of losing the roof over my head,“ Jane wrote.
Her feeling of obligation had escalated in 2023, when the pair made a verbal “love contract” stipulating that while so-called hotel nights would feature into their relationship, so would a $10,000 monthly payment from Combs to Jane.
- Flying with drugs -
She also told jurors that she transported illegal drugs for Combs on two occasions.
In their opening statements, the defense insisted that Combs’s relationship with Jane was consensual.
She recounted one instance when she attempted to stay sober while complying with Combs’s demands that she have sex with multiple men for hours, to the point that she threw up, saying she was “repulsed.”
‘”Let’s go because the guy is here, the third guy,‘” Jane said he told her.
Prosecutors say he ran a criminal enterprise of employees and bodyguards who enforced his power and fulfilled his desires with illicit acts including trafficking, kidnapping, bribery and arson.
Jane’s testimony could last days, with court proceedings expected to continue at least another month.
