A former personal assistant to Sean “Diddy” Combs told the jury in this sex-trafficking trial that it was impossible to tell the rap mogul “no.”

Mia’s emotional testimony punctuated the twelfth day of testimony in the criminal case that has captured headlines and the public’s attention since prospective jurors first walked into the Manhattan courtroom on May 5. Breaking down in tears as she spoke from the witness stand in a hushed courtroom, Mia said the rapper sexually assaulted her on multiple occasions and was prone to fits of rage. Mia testified she did “absolutely not” want to be talking about the sexual assaults she said Combs committed but told the jury, “I have to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth and also I have a moral obligation because when you’re scared into silence these things continue to happen to others.”
