Slavik began by hammering home that Sean “Diddy” Combs was the unquestioned leader of a criminal enterprise—a “kingdom” built on wealth, fame, and a loyal inner circle ready to do his bidding. She painted a picture of Combs as empowered by his status and surrounded by lieutenants—assistants and security personnel—who enabled violent and criminal conduct. Addressing the racketeering conspiracy, she reminded jurors that the law views group crime as more dangerous, arguing that Combs’s enterprise committed hundreds of predicate acts: from drug distribution and bribery to witness tampering and forced labor.   She emphasized that Combs “doesn’t take no for an answer” and “used power, violence and fear to get what he wanted,” spotlighting the relationship between his authority and the alleged crimes.


Slavik then pivoted to the heart of the case—the sex‑trafficking and “freak‑off” allegations. She revisited testimony from former partners Cassie Ventura and Jane, underlining how they were allegedly drugged and coerced into participating in orgies with escorts, all orchestrated by Combs. She stressed that “drugs were an essential ingredient” in these events, part of how Combs maintained control and compliance, procuring substances through his enterprise.    ith stark imagery and ferocity, she alleged that he repeatedly “forced, threatened and manipulated” victims—making it clear that this was a pattern of exploitation, not isolated incidents.
