In Document 361, filed on May 27, 2025, federal prosecutors strongly opposed a request by news organizations to unseal sexually explicit video and photographic exhibits introduced in the criminal trial of Sean “Diddy” Combs. The government argued that public disclosure of this material would inflict serious harm on the alleged victims—identified in court as Cassie Ventura and Jane Doe—both of whom were reportedly recorded without their consent during acts they claim were coerced. The government emphasized that these recordings were allegedly used by Combs as tools of blackmail and psychological control, and that releasing them—even to a limited audience—would risk retraumatizing the victims and effectively extend the abuse they endured.

The filing further underscored that public access to these exhibits is neither necessary nor appropriate given the sensitive nature of the evidence. Prosecutors asserted that permitting open access would violate the victims’ right to privacy and could chill future victims of sexual abuse from coming forward. They reassured the court that transparency would still be preserved through live testimony and verbal descriptions of the exhibits in open court, ensuring the public remains informed without compromising the victims’ dignity or safety. Sealing the exhibits, they argued, is a narrowly tailored and essential measure to balance the public interest with the need to protect vulnerable individuals participating in the judicial process.

On May 28, 2025, during Sean "Diddy" Combs' ongoing federal trial for sex trafficking and racketeering, his defense team requested a mistrial. The motion stemmed from testimony by arson investigator Lance Jimenez, who discussed the destruction of fingerprint evidence related to the 2012 firebombing of rapper Kid Cudi's car. Defense attorney Alexandra Shapiro argued that the prosecution's line of questioning implied Combs' involvement in the destruction of evidence, thereby prejudicing the jury. However, Judge Arun Subramanian denied the mistrial request, stating that the questions were not prejudicial and instructing the jury to disregard them.

This mistrial motion marked the first such request in Combs' trial, which has been ongoing since May 12. The trial has featured testimony from over 15 witnesses, including accounts of Combs' alleged abusive behavior towards ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura and others. Testimonies have described incidents of physical abuse, threats, and coercion, as well as the alleged firebombing of Kid Cudi's car, which prosecutors suggest was an act of intimidation. Combs has pleaded not guilty to all charges, which include sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, and transportation to engage in prostitution. If convicted, he faces the possibility of life in prison.

On the afternoon of Day 11 in Sean "Diddy" Combs' federal sex trafficking and racketeering trial, former stylist Deonte Nash delivered compelling testimony detailing Combs' alleged abusive behavior toward ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura. Nash recounted a 2013 incident where Combs allegedly assaulted Ventura during preparations for the OVO Festival, dragging her by the hair and striking her until she sustained a bleeding head injury . He also described an episode where Ventura, fearing for her safety, contemplated jumping off a hotel balcony to escape Combs' threats to release explicit videos of her .


During cross-examination, Nash acknowledged his continued friendship with Ventura, including assisting her with wedding preparations and discussing her court attire . He also admitted to past drug use, including cocaine and ecstasy, and to using marijuana before a meeting with prosecutors . Despite these admissions, Nash maintained that Combs exerted control over Ventura through financial manipulation and threats, such as withholding support for her housing and career, and coercing her into non-consensual sexual acts known as "freak-offs" . The court session concluded with Nash's testimony, and the next witness, a former employee identified as "Mia," is expected to testify in the following days

During the morning session of Sean "Diddy" Combs's federal sex trafficking and racketeering trial on May 28, 2025, the court heard testimony from LAPD officer Christopher Ignacio and arson investigator Lance Jimenez regarding the 2012 firebombing of rapper Kid Cudi's Porsche. Jimenez described finding a Molotov cocktail made from a 40 oz Olde English malt liquor bottle and a designer handkerchief inside the damaged vehicle, suggesting the attack was deliberate . This testimony supports the prosecution's narrative of Combs's alleged retaliatory behavior towards individuals associated with his former partner, Cassie Ventura.

Additionally, former employee Capricorn Clark provided emotional testimony, alleging that Combs kidnapped her at gunpoint in a bid to locate and harm Kid Cudi, whom he suspected of having a relationship with Ventura . Clark also recounted witnessing Combs physically assault Ventura, adding to the prosecution's portrayal of a pattern of abuse and intimidation. These testimonies aim to establish a broader context of Combs's alleged coercive and violent behavior, integral to the racketeering charges he faces.

This document is a motion in limine filed by Sean Combs’ legal team in his federal criminal case (Case No. 24-cr-542) in the Southern District of New York, seeking to exclude the testimony of Dr. Dawn Hughes, a psychological expert the prosecution intends to call. Dr. Hughes is expected to testify about general behavioral patterns of victims and perpetrators of sexual and domestic abuse, which the defense argues would unfairly bolster the credibility of the government’s witnesses — including alleged victims — without having evaluated any facts specific to this case. The defense asserts that Dr. Hughes’s testimony is not based on a reliable scientific application to the actual circumstances surrounding Combs and instead consists of broad generalizations that risk misleading the jury by presenting “typical” abuse behavior as evidence of guilt.

Combs’ attorneys argue that Hughes’s proposed testimony violates the standards set by Federal Rules of Evidence 702 and 403, which regulate expert witness admissibility. They claim her statements offer no specialized knowledge beyond what jurors already understand — such as abusers exploiting power or victims remaining in abusive relationships — and that she conflates clinical definitions of coercion with legal ones, potentially confusing the jury. The motion asserts that Hughes’s testimony is “advocacy masquerading as expertise” and warns it would improperly bolster the credibility of government witnesses under the guise of psychology. The defense urges the court to block her from testifying, citing that her opinions are methodologically unsound and prejudicial rather than probative.
