After the lunch break on Monday, June 16, 2025, testimony resumed with U.S. Special Agent DeLeassa Penland, who continued detailing travel records and communications tied to alleged “freak‑off” encounters. Specifically, she walked the jury through flight itineraries showing that a male escort—identified as Jules Theodore—flew from Los Angeles to New York in December 2009. These arrangements were allegedly made by Sean Combs and paid for using his American Express card registered to Bad Boy Entertainment. The jury also heard text messages between Combs and Jules coordinating the travel and stay at the London Hotel, underlining the prosecution’s argument about the orchestration of these encounters.


Following that, the focus shifted to financial documentation: the prosecution introduced credit card statements and travel logs tying Combs’s business entity to payments for escorts and hotel bookings. These materials were presented to support the trafficking and racketeering conspiracy charges—showing evidence of Combs arranging and funding travel and accommodations for escorts. Court then adjourned for the day, with the testimony set to continue the next day

June 16, 2025 - Day 24 of testimony in the Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs trial | CNN

In the morning session, Judge Arun Subramanian formally dismissed Juror No. 6—a 41-year-old Black man—due to “lack of candor” after he gave conflicting statements about living in the Bronx versus New Jersey, which raised concerns about his eligibility for juror service in the Southern District of New York.   Combs’s defense argued that this dismissal reduced the diversity of the panel and was racially motivated, filing a letter and threatening to seek a mistrial if the removal wasn't reversed.   Judge Subramanian denied both requests, stating that the decision was based strictly on the juror's factual inconsistencies, not race, and quickly seated a White accountant from Westchester County as a replacement

After the jury reassembled, prosecutors called Ananya Sankar, a paralegal specialist from the U.S. Attorney’s Office, as a summary witness. Before lunch, Sankar began presenting and walking jurors through a collection of text messages and call logs—including communications between Combs, his staff (like chief of staff Kristina Khorram), and his ex-girlfriend “Jane”.    

These messages covered topics such as organizing “Wild King Nights,” procurement of MDMA (“Molly”), and discussions of explicit encounters—part of the prosecution’s efforts to organize the voluminous digital evidence ahead of closing the case this week.    

The second witness to take the stand before lunch on June 16, 2025, was Special Agent DeLeassa Penland from the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Southern District of New York. She served as another "summary witness," dispatched to help organize and present the vast trove of digital evidence to the jury. Penland walked jurors through charts and data, including additional phone and text message logs—this time highlighting communications between Combs, his bodyguard “D‑Roc,” and former assistant “Mia.”
