The trial of Sean “Diddy” Combs on Tuesday included testimony from a former hotel security guard claiming he was paid $100,000 to destroy footage of the rapper assaulting his ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, in 2016.
The footage went viral after being released by CNN in May 2024, a full year before Combs’ trial began. Eddie Garcia told the jury that he was approached by the rapper’s chief of staff, Kristina Khorrum, with an offer to exchange cash for destroying the video and all copies of it.
Garcia described an alleged phone call he had with Combs during which the rapper said he had “a little too much” to drink preceding the assault, saying “it could ruin him” if the video got out. “You know how it is with women,” Combs reportedly said.
The former security guard said it was promised that he would be taken care of, per <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/03/arts/music/sean-combs-diddy-trial-cassie-hotel.html">The New York Times</a>.
The witness said he turned down the rapper’s request at first, but eventually agreed. “He was excited, said ‘Eddy, my angel, I knew you could help. I knew you could do it,’” Garcia said of Combs.

Garcia said he and his supervisor handed over the USB drive during a meeting at a high rise apartment building. &#8220;I was very nervous and my voice kept cracking,&#8221; the security guard said of the meeting. Garcia testified that he signed a non-disclosure agreement asserting that there were &#8220;no duplicates, backups, stored drives&#8221; containing the video and then was given $100,000 in cash in a paper bag.
The security guard said he was told “not to make any big purchases” because “it would draw attention.”
It’s not clear how the security footage wound up on CNN, as the outlet noted.
Ventura testified earlier during the trial, providing the jury with graphic details of alleged physical, sexual, and psychological abuse during her decade-long relationship with the Bad Boy Records founder. The defense claims that Combs had an unconventional sex life, but is not guilty of the criminal activities he’s been charged with.
Combs pleaded not guilty to charges of sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution. If convicted, he could spend the rest of his life in prison.

Day eight of Sean “Diddy” Combs’ trial included testimony from his former assistant, George Kaplan, who detailed how he both set up and covered up his employer’s infamous “freak off” parties in hotel rooms.
Kaplan testified that he worked long days, clocking 80 to 100 hours per week and at least once being on shift for close to 24 hours straight, per <a href="https://www.cnn.com/entertainment/live-news/diddy-trial-cassie-court-case-05-21-25">CNN</a>. The former executive assistant reported that he was paid around $125,000 and that Combs threatened his employment frequently, saying he would be let go over mistakes, such as purchasing the wrong item at a store. 
Kaplan said he was tasked with answering phone calls, emails, and texts from Combs, including requests for “clothing or potentially food from somewhere, or drugs or liquor or an iPad or a speaker,” the outlet noted. He was also required to fly to various cities such as New York, Miami, Atlanta, Washington, D.C., and Orlando to deliver a “hotel bag” containing a speaker, candles, liquor, baby oil, extra clothing, and Astroglide lubricant. 
Combs’ former assistant said he also understood his job to include visiting the hotel room after his employer left to clean up evidence of the parties, which might consist of empty bottles of baby oil and lube, and in one instance, drug residue. He testified that this was done to “protect” Combs’ image and ensure hotel cleaning staff could not take pictures and publicize them, as ABC News <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/sean-combs-trial-day-12-recap-jurors-hear/story?id=122050227">reported</a>.

Kaplan confirmed that the “freak offs” lasted several days and included prostitutes, drugs, and alcohol. The assistant claimed Combs asked him to buy illegal drugs on two occasions, including a bag of MDMA in Miami and an unknown substance in Los Angeles. 
Also on day eight of the trial, clinical and forensic psychologist Dawn Hughes testified about the tendency for victims of domestic abuse to stay in abusive relationships. This comes after the prosecution’s star witness, Cassie Ventura, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/diddy-trial-combs-ex-girlfriend-cassie-ventura-shares-graphic-details-of-freak-offs">took the stand</a> to testify against Combs. Ventura and Combs were together for 11 years, and she accused him of physical, mental, and sexual abuse during that time.
Rapper Kid Cudi is expected to testify on Thursday, and Kaplan will face cross-examination from the defense. Combs’ legal team seeks to prove that his unconventional sex life was shocking but not illegal. Meanwhile, he has been charged with sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution.
Combs pleaded not guilty to the charges. If convicted, he could spend the rest of his life in prison.

Sean “Diddy” Combs’ ex-girlfriend of 11 years, Cassie Ventura, made more allegations against the rapper during her second day on the witness stand on Wednesday.
The final line of questioning from the prosecution led to Ventura accusing Combs of raping her in 2018 when she was attempting to break up with him. She described a dinner in Malibu as a “closure conversation” which ended with Combs allegedly raping her after driving her back home to her apartment that night. Ventura said Combs was acting “romantic, “nice,” and “playful&#8221; before the incident.
&#8220;I just remember crying and saying &#8216;no,&#8217; but it was very fast,&#8221; she said from the witness stand. &#8220;I went inside, he came in and raped me on the living room floor,&#8221; Ventura recalled. &#8220;His eyes were black, he wasn’t himself, it was like somebody taking something from you.”
Ventura also said she had consensual sex with Combs one more time before cutting ties with him for good. When asked why this happened, she replied, “We had been together for over 10 years. You don’t just turn feelings off that way,” Variety <a href="https://variety.com/2025/music/news/cassie-diddy-settlement-alleges-rape-trial-1236398358/">reported</a>.
This was around the same time she began dating personal trainer Alex Fine, whom she married in 2019. The couple is currently expecting their third child.
At the end of her testimony, Ventura recalled suffering psychological repercussions following the incident. She testified that she began “spinning out” in February 2023. 
“I didn’t want to be alive anymore,” Ventura said, tearfully recalling an incident when she “tried to walk out the front door into traffic, and my husband would not let me.”
Ventura filed a civil lawsuit against Combs in 2023 accusing him of rape and physical abuse. While Combs claimed he wasn’t guilty of the charges, the lawsuit was settled just one day after it was filed for an undisclosed amount. During her Wednesday testimony, Ventura revealed that she received $20 million from Combs as part of the settlement.
Earlier in the week, Ventura went into <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/diddy-trial-combs-ex-girlfriend-cassie-ventura-shares-graphic-details-of-freak-offs">detail</a> about her experience at Combs’ drug-fueled sex parties known as “freak-offs,” which involved her engaging in intercourse with male prostitutes for hours or days at a time. She said, “sometimes Sean — he, himself, or an escort would urinate on me.”
“The freak-offs became a job,” she added, saying that participating made her feel “disgusting” and “humiliated.”
Next up, the defense is expected to cross-examine Ventura. As highlighted in opening statements, their objective will be to prove that Combs engaged in unorthodox yet consensual sexual exploits.
Combs pleaded not guilty to the charges. If convicted, he could spend the rest of his life in prison.

Rape

Cassie Ventura, the prosecution’s key witness in the trial against rap artist Sean “Diddy” Combs, took the stand beginning on Tuesday and became emotional as she detailed years of alleged sexual, physical, and mental abuse.
“He controlled a lot of my life,” she said.
Combs, 55, has been charged with sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution. He was arrested in September 2024 and has been awaiting trial behind bars after multiple attempts to be released on bail.
Ventura, 38, described what went on during her decade-long relationship with the disgraced rap mogul, highlighting several specific instances of abuse during her lengthy testimony. 
She described the highly publicized “freak-offs,” during which she said, “sometimes Sean — he, himself, or an escort would urinate on me.”
She recalled often choking because there was “too much urine in my mouth.&#8221;
“I don’t want anyone to urinate on me,&#8221; Ventura said from the stand. &#8220;Sean would urinate in my mouth — not super often but often enough.”
The rapper’s ex-girlfriend described the “freak-offs” as lengthy, elaborate, and exhausting sex parties. “The longest was 4 days or even more with breaks,” Ventura told the court. “Then I was recovering from the drugs, dehydration — just trying to stay awake all the time.”
&#8220;The freak-offs became a job,&#8221; she added, saying that participating made her feel “disgusting” and “humiliated.”
She said Combs was in charge of everything about the “freak-offs,” insisting on Ventura wearing her nails a particular way. She said she was forced to apply baby oil every five minutes to appear “glistening,” per <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/13/arts/music/cassie-sean-combs-diddy-trial-takeaways.html">The New York Times</a>. 
Ventura also described times Combs would &#8220;punish&#8221; her by having members of his security team block access to her cell phone and computer. She claimed that these punishments were dictated by his mood. 
Combs’ ex said she was “naive” when they met and was impressed by the rapper and all his success. She also said she felt coerced because she had signed a 10-album deal with Bad Boy Records and saw Combs as having power over her career.
“When you’re in love with someone you don’t want to disappoint them,” Ventura said.
“I wanted to be around Sean for the same reasons as everyone else at the time,&#8221; she said, becoming emotional. &#8220;This exciting, entertaining, fun guy who also happened to have my career in his hands.”
During cross-examination, Combs’ lawyer attempted to prove that all sexual encounters between her client and Ventura were consensual. 
The judge denied a request from the defense to downplay Ventura’s current pregnancy by having her seated before the jury entered the courtroom. Ventura is currently in her third trimester, and the defense said &#8220;the visibility of her pregnancy&#8221; could unfairly prejudice the jury against Combs.
Ventura’s testimony continued on Wednesday. The entire trial is expected to last eight weeks.
Combs pleaded not guilty to the charges. If convicted, he could spend the rest of his life in prison.

Diddy Trial: Combs' Ex-Girlfriend Cassie Ventura Becomes Emotional During Testimony

Sean “Diddy” Combs’ trial officially kicked off today with opening statements from both the prosecution and the defense.
While the rapper’s legal team painted him as a “complicated” man with an unorthodox but fully consensual sex life, prosecutors wasted no time sharing some sordid details from sexual encounters they say were coerced, per <a href="https://deadline.com/2025/05/sean-diddy-combs-trial-starts-opening-statements-1236393819/">Deadline</a>.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Emily Ann Johnson provided a list of “crime after crime” during opening statements in Manhattan court Monday morning, mentioning kidnapping, arson, drugs, sex crimes, and bribery allegedly committed over the past two decades.
“He called himself the king, and he expected to be treated like one,” she said as a reference to the viral hotel surveillance footage showing him physically assaulting his then-girlfriend Cassie Ventura and “flinging her around like a rag doll.”
The prosecutor also went into detail about one specific incident which allegedly occurred at the rapper’s notorious “freak-off” parties. Johnson alleged that a male prostitute was instructed to urinate in Ventura&#8217;s mouth, which led to har saying she &#8220;felt like she was choking.&#8221;
Johnson said Combs was able to get away with it for so long thanks to his “inner circle and vast resources of his business empire.”
“Her livelihood and safety depended on keeping him happy,” Johnson said of Ventura, who is slated to take the stand at a later date.
Defense Attorney Tenny Geragos presented a different portrait of the Bad Boys Records founder.
“Sean Combs is a complicated man, but this is not as complicated case,” Geragos said.
“Sean Combs has a bad temper and sometimes he gets out of control,” the attorney added. “We take full responsibility for the domestic violence. Domestic violence is not sex trafficking.”
“We will not shy away from the things Mr. Comb did,” the attorney added, saying her client “has a bit of a different sex life,” but asserting that the encounters occurred between consenting adults.
Gergagos also mentioned the surveillance video, repeating the claim that it was “overwhelming evidence of domestic violence … but it is not evidence of sex trafficking.” She said the incident seen on security footage represented a “toxic relationship between two people who loved each other.”
The attorney also pointed out that Ventura stayed with Combs as a romantic partner for 11 years.
Combs, 44, has been charged with sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution. He was arrested in September 2024 and has been awaiting trial behind bars after multiple attempts to be released on bail.
Combs pleaded not guilty to the charges. If convicted, he could spend the rest of his life in prison.

Crime

The trial for Sean “Diddy” Combs kicked off this week in Manhattan with jury selection.
Prosecutors have accused Combs’ legal team of consulting with celebrity attorney Mark Geragos, who has represented big-name talent such as Michael Jackson, Chris Brown, Jussie Smollett, and the Menendez brothers. 
Per <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2025/05/06/entertainment/sean-diddy-combs-mark-geragos-defense">CNN</a>, Geragos has been present in court since Monday and was seen speaking with Combs’ defense team in what prosecutors called an “apparent role as an advisor to the defendant.” But Geragos claimed he was only there to support his daughter, Teny Geragos, who was hired to help defend Diddy.
“I’m here to support my daughter. (Combs) is a friend,” the high-profile attorney told the outlet on Tuesday.
Prosecutors wrote a letter to the judge saying Geragos was acting as &#8220;an advisor&#8221; for the defense. They say if Geragos is working with the defense, he should have to follow the rules of the court and refrain from publicly commenting about the allegations. They said Geragos has discussed the case on his podcast.
Meanwhile, the pool is being narrowed down from 45 potential jurors to 10 as U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian continues questioning the group. Next, the attorneys will have a chance to veto individual jurors. 
Many of them said they had seen the 2016 surveillance footage of Combs grabbing, dragging, shoving, and kicking his former girlfriend, Cassandra “Cassie” Ventura.
At least one man in the pool said the footage “gives the appearance of an angry hostile person who is entitled,” adding that he believes “mostly everybody saw the video.” However, he claimed he was still able to be impartial if selected.
Potential jurors were also asked if they were familiar with celebrities like Kanye West, Michael B. Jordan, Mike Myers, and Kid Cudi, but it’s not immediately clear how those individuals will be relevant to the trial.
A female juror was dismissed on Tuesday after saying in court on Tuesday, &#8220;Diddy has a lot of money to use at his discretion and possibly buy his way out of jail,&#8221; per <a href="https://people.com/diddy-trial-potential-juror-dismissed-buy-way-out-jail-11728969">People</a>. When the judge asked her to clarify, she replied, &#8220;I don&#8217;t know how to explain it.&#8221;
Ventura will be testifying during the trial using her real name, per multiple reports.
Combs, 44, has been charged with sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution. He was arrested in September 2024 and has been awaiting trial behind bars after multiple attempts to be released on bail.
Combs pleaded not guilty to the charges. If convicted, he could spend the rest of his life in prison.

Diddy Trial: Prosecutors Say Famous Celeb Attorney Is Breaking The Rules

Diddy Trial: Prosecutors Accuse Sean Combs' Defense Team Of Consulting With Celeb Attorney

Court

Sean “Diddy” Combs’ sex trafficking trial began on Monday in Manhattan federal court, and the 55-year-old rapper admitted he was “nervous” during the appearance.
The recording artist was allowed to trade in his prison garb for regular clothing after he had been awaiting trial behind bars for the past seven months, despite rallying to be let out on bail. The Bad Boy Records founder could be sentenced to life in prison if he’s convicted on multiple charges, including racketeering and sex trafficking crimes.
“I’m sorry, your honor, I’m a little nervous today,” Combs told Judge Arun Subramanian after asking for a two-minute bathroom break following 90 minutes of juror questioning. Jury selection began Monday with 50 potential jurors.
The rapper pleaded not guilty to the charges and turned down a plea deal from prosecutors about 10 days ago, per <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/05/05/us-news/diddy-trial-jury-selection-kicks-off-with-rapper-admitting-hes-nervous/">the New York Post</a>.
One of the lawyers for Combs withdrew from his defense team in February, saying, “Under no circumstances can I continue to effectively serve as counsel for Sean Combs. It is respectfully but regrettably requested that the court grant the relief requested.”
But despite that hiccup, Combs has faith in his legal team to win, evidenced by his turning down the undisclosed plea deal.
Combs is charged under the Mann Act, officially the White-Slave Traffic Act, which prohibits the transport of people across state or international lines for prostitution.
The defense has called the Mann Act “racist” and historically “used to target black men and supposedly protect white women from them.”
Federal authorities allege Combs had “abused, threatened, and coerced women and others, and led a racketeering conspiracy that engaged in sex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, arson, bribery, and obstruction of justice, among other crimes,” per the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Southern District of New York. 
Prosecutors also said Combs “engaged in a persistent and pervasive pattern of abuse toward women and other individuals. This abuse was, at times, verbal, emotional, physical, and sexual,” as The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/sean-diddy-combs-trial-date-set?author=Amanda+Harding&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Sean+%E2%80%98Diddy%E2%80%99+Combs+Trial+Date+Set">reported</a>.
There have been many headlines about the alleged “freak-offs,” or parties which included non-consensual sexual activity, and inspired Combs to stock his property with a reported one thousand bottles of baby oil. The rapper’s attorneys will argue that Combs did have sex parties, but will insist that all participants were of age and willing to participate in the events.
Combs is also facing 120 or more additional lawsuits in the near future, including complaints from at least 25 minors.

Diddy Tells Judge He’s ‘Nervous’ As Sex Trafficking Trial Begins In NYC

Imagine your teenage son goes upstairs to do homework — and just hours later, you discover he has taken his own life. For <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/health-wellness/2025/02/25/teenage-boys-mental-health-suicide-sextortion-scams/78258882007/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">too many families</a>, this nightmare is a grim reality, the result of a rapidly growing and devastating crime known as sextortion. 
Sextortion is a powerful form of exploitation where predators trick and coerce victims, often young boys, into sending explicit images online. The exploiters often pose as teen girls and reach out with flirtatious messages. This is no haphazard operation, research has found that thousands of Instagram accounts perpetrating sextortion were linked to <a href="https://www.ibtimes.co.uk/meta-takes-down-63k-instagram-accounts-5700-facebook-groups-1300-facebook-accounts-linked-1725744" target="_blank" rel="noopener">only 20-25 individuals</a> — in other words, this is often an organized criminal activity, something no teenager is prepared to go up against. They are trained and skilled at building trust quickly, shifting the conversation to sexual topics and eventually sending pictures or videos and requesting some in return.
In mere minutes, the blackmail begins. Predators threaten to expose the victim’s nude photos to their contacts or social media connections unless they pay a demanded sum — fueling fear, shame, and deterring them from seeking help. To heighten the pressure, some blackmailers may falsely accuse teens of criminal activity, warning that they could end up on sex offender registries.
For some, the shame and fear of being exposed are so overwhelming that they see no way out, leading to tragic actions like suicide within mere hours of being targeted.
Sextortion has been connected to dozens of deaths of teen boys by suicide in <a href="https://www.fbi.gov/contact-us/field-offices/sacramento/news/sextortion-a-growing-threat-preying-upon-our-nations-teens#:~:text=The%20sextortion%20involved%20at%20least,the%20activity%20to%20law%20enforcement." target="_blank" rel="noopener">recent</a> years. Tragically, these numbers are likely underreported as family members may not know the circumstance that led to a loved one’s death by suicide.
There are an average of 812 reports of sextortion <a href="https://www.thorn.org/research/library/financial-sextortion/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">per week</a>, according to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
This crisis demands immediate attention and action.
For too long, online platforms have failed to prioritize safety. Take Snapchat, for example. New Mexico’s attorney general recently brought a lawsuit against Snapchat. According to a report from <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/social-media/new-mexico-attorney-general-says-internal-snap-documents-show-company-rcna173486" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBC News</a>, documents from the lawsuit reveal “‘Snap employees were discussing 10,000 user reports of sextortion each month,’ which is most likely ‘a small fraction of this abuse.’”
“In addition, the suit alleges internal documents show that reports of grooming and sextortion made about specific users largely went unanswered or unaddressed,” according to NBC NEWS.
Meta’s Instagram appears to be the <a href="https://info.thorn.org/hubfs/Research/Thorn_TrendsInFinancialSextortion_June2024.pdf?sm_guid=NzcxOTIyfDc4MzA5NjAxfC0xfGNlc2VAbmNvc2UuY29tfDcyMDIwMTJ8fDB8MHwyMjU0MzA0NTd8MTEzMnwwfDB8fDc2NjM5Nnww0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">#1 platform for sextortion</a>. One key reason is the availability of follower lists, which predators can leverage against victims. While the platform has <a href="https://about.fb.com/news/2024/04/new-tools-to-help-protect-against-sextortion-and-intimate-image-abuse/">taken steps</a> to identify and protect kids from sextortion, there’s still more they can do to prioritize the safety of minors.
According to <a href="https://www.thorn.org/research/library/financial-sextortion/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a report</a> from Thorn titled “Trends in Financial Sextortion,” online payments are another avenue for exploitation. “The most common payment methods were Cash App and gift cards, followed by other easy-use payment apps such as PayPal and Venmo. The dominance of gift cards and Cash App has slightly increased over time relative to other payment services.”
With Cash App ranking as the <a href="https://info.thorn.org/hubfs/Research/Thorn_TrendsInFinancialSextortion_June2024.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">#1 payment method</a> for financial sextortion, there is valid concern over many of their default features like public profiles and limited identity verification. These vulnerabilities could expose younger users to predatory behavior.
It is time to require a higher standard of care from online platforms.
One vital step to combat sextortion and image-based sexual abuse (IBSA) is the “Take It Down Act,” a bipartisan bill sponsored by Senators Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Amy Klobuchar (D-MN). This legislation has already gained significant momentum, passing unanimously in the Senate. Now, it is time for the House to act and make this bill law.
The “Take It Down Act” is a bold step toward creating meaningful protections for sextortion victims and victims of nonconsensually-shared explicit content. It addresses the crisis in two key ways, first, by mandating quick removal of harmful content, and then by criminalizing image-based abuse. Under the &#8220;Take It Down Act,&#8221; social media platforms and websites would be legally required to remove explicit images within 48 hours of a survivor’s request. These platforms must also make efforts to prevent the images&#8217; reappearance, reducing the cycle of trauma for victims. This bill also makes it a federal crime to publish explicit images of a person without their consent, including AI-generated or “deepfake” content. This brings critical accountability to perpetrators who weaponize private imagery.
By passing this legislation, Congress can empower victims to regain control while ensuring that perpetrators face appropriate consequences for their actions.
For young boys targeted by sextortion, the bill’s immediate removal mandate could mean the difference between life and death, offering assurance that exposure is not inevitable and their situation is not hopeless.
If you are a parent or guardian, use this article as a reason to talk with your kids now about this threat online — before they ever find themselves in a dangerous situation. It’s natural to react with fear or anger if a child makes an unsafe choice, but we never know what difference maintaining an open dialogue can make.
Sextortion is a profoundly isolating crime — but no victim or family needs to face it alone. If explicit images have already been shared, resources are available. &#8220;Take It Down,&#8221; a free service from the National Center for Missing &amp; Exploited Children, helps remove nude, partially nude, or sexually explicit images taken before the age of 18. Visit <a href="https://takeitdown.ncmec.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">takeitdown.ncmec.org</a> for more information. The Cyber Civil Rights Initiative also offers critical support and resources for those affected. 
Congress can and must pass the “Take it Down Act,” helping to give every child the safety they deserve and ensuring no life is stolen by this devastating fraud.

The children of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/sean-diddy-combs">Sean “Diddy” Combs</a> are speaking out following his arrest for multiple crimes, including sex trafficking.
The collaborative social media post was shared on Tuesday by Quincy Taylor Brown, 33, Justin Dior Combs, 30, Christian Combs, 26, Chance Combs, 18, Jessie Combs, 17, and D’Lila Combs, 17. It says they fully support and stand by their dad and his claims of innocence. Combs’ seventh child, Love Sean, is two years old and was not added to the statement.
“The past month has devastated our family. Many have judged both him and us based on accusations, conspiracy theories and false narratives that have spiraled into absurdity on social media,” the post says.
“We stand united, supporting you every step of the way. We hold onto the truth, knowing it will prevail, and nothing will break the strength of our family. WE MISS YOU &amp; LOVE YOU DAD,” it said.

Combs is being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn following his arrest in September. The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/entertainment">rapper</a> was charged with racketeering, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution. Combs was denied bail by two judges and will remain incarcerated until his trial begins in May 2025.

The maximum sentence on all charges is life in prison. Combs is being hit with additional lawsuits from more plaintiffs, with <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/diddy-faces-more-than-120-additional-abuse-lawsuits-from-at-least-25-minors" target="_blank" rel="noopener">more than 120</a> individuals, including at least 25 minors, accusing the recording artist of sexual abuse.
Combs’ mother previously released a statement supporting her son, calling the charges untrue. 
“It is heartbreaking to see my son judged not for the truth, but for a narrative created out of lies,” Janice Small Combs said in a statement earlier this month, as The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/diddys-mom-calls-reaction-to-sex-abuse-charges-a-public-lynching">reported</a>. 
“To bear witness what seems to be like a public lynching of my son before he has had the opportunity to prove his innocence is a pain too unbearable to put into words. Like every human being, my son deserves to have his day in court, to finally share his side, and to prove his innocence.”
She added, “Watching the world make jokes and laugh at my son’s life crumbling before our eyes is something I can never forget. It is truly agonizing to watch the world turn against my son so quickly and easily over lies and misconceptions, without ever hearing his side or affording him the opportunity to present his side.”

On Wednesday, most <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/house-democrats" target="_blank" rel="noopener">House Democrats</a> voted against legislation that seeks to ensure that illegal immigrants who commit sex crimes and domestic violence can be deported from the United States.
The bill, called the &#8220;Violence Against Women by Illegal Aliens Act,&#8221; <a href="https://clerk.house.gov/Votes/2024429" target="_blank" rel="noopener">passed</a> with the support of 215 Republicans and 51 Democrats. Another 158 Democrats and no Republicans voted against it. Seven other lawmakers did not vote.
Rep. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/nancy-mace" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nancy Mace</a> (R-SC), who introduced the legislation earlier this year, <a href="https://x.com/RepNancyMace/status/1836535592341114924">said</a> on X that &#8220;158 Left-wing members of Congress just voted against deporting rapists, pedophiles and murderers of women and kids.&#8221;
The bill <a href="https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/house-bill/7909/text" target="_blank" rel="noopener">states</a> that it would &#8220;amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to provide that aliens who have been convicted of or who have committed sex offenses or domestic violence are inadmissible and deportable.&#8221;
It also contains provisions that apply to crimes of stalking, child abuse, child neglect, child abandonment, or violating the portion of a protection order &#8220;against credible threats of violence, repeated harassment, or bodily injury.&#8221;
Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY), the top Democrat on the Judiciary Committee, <a href="https://www.c-span.org/video/?538482-3/house-session-part-2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">claimed</a> the bill has &#8220;redundancies&#8221; that &#8220;all but ensure that no additional dangerous individuals would face immigration consequences if it were to become law.&#8221;

The chairwoman of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA), <a href="https://www.c-span.org/video/?538482-3/house-session-part-2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">bemoaned</a> how lawmakers were &#8220;debating another partisan bill that fear mongers about immigrants instead of working together to fix the immigration system.&#8221;
But, <a href="https://mace.house.gov/media/press-releases/rep-nancy-mace-bill-violence-against-women-illegal-aliens-act-passes-house" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to</a> Rep. Tom McClintock (R-CA), the bill &#8220;removes any loopholes in current law and requires that illegal aliens who commit sex offenses or domestic violence are not to be allowed into this country anymore and must be immediately removed from our country when they&#8217;re found.&#8221;
And, citing a specific area of concern, Mace <a href="https://x.com/RepNancyMace/status/1836535592341114924" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas argued in a September 2021 memo that &#8220;domestic violence shouldn’t be categorical grounds to apprehend and remove an illegal alien.&#8221;
The bill now heads to the Democrat-controlled Senate, where it may or may not be taken up for consideration. In the meantime, the fact that 158 House Democrats opposed the legislation gave Republicans a new attack line in the lead-up to the November election.
&#8220;DID YOU KNOW: Last night, 158 House Democrats VOTED AGAINST deporting illegal aliens that commit sex crimes &amp; domestic violence,&#8221; Rep. Byron Donald (R-FL) <a href="https://x.com/RepDonaldsPress/status/1836737643494748296" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> on X. &#8220;These 158 House Democrats voted against common sense. These 158 House Democrats voted against your safety. And we all deserve better. Remember this.&#8221;

Some of the most revealing moments from the sordid saga of Jeffrey Epstein came when government officials were asked direct questions, then ducked them without any real explanation. Case in point: Five years ago, the Labor Secretary at the time, Alex Acosta, was speaking to reporters about his handling of the first Epstein criminal case from 2008, when Acosta was a U.S. Attorney in Florida. This was the press conference right before Acosta&#8217;s resignation as Labor Secretary. For roughly an hour, Acosta tried to explain why his office had offered an extremely lenient <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/labor-secretary-to-hold-news-conference-to-defend-himself-amid-outcry-over-handling-of-epstein-plea-deal/2019/07/10/b136b9a4-a321-11e9-b7b4-95e30869bd15_story.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">plea deal</a> to Epstein — one that offered immunity to his co-conspirators, and barely required Epstein to spend any time in a jail cell. Acosta was generally responsive to most questions during this press conference. In fact, at one point, he waved off his assistant who wanted to end the press conference early.
But there was one question that Alex Acosta very clearly did not want to answer. It concerned <a href="https://talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/i-was-told-epstein-belonged-to-intelligence-and-to-leave-it-alone" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reporting</a> in the Daily Beast that, in a discussion with Trump administration officials before his appointment as Labor Secretary, Alex Acosta had said that Epstein, &#8220;belonged to intelligence.&#8221; In other words, Acosta had reportedly suggested to the Trump team that, when he was the U.S. Attorney, he was told by senior U.S. government officials to go easy on Epstein so that he could stay out of jail. Presumably, the idea was that Epstein could then continue connecting various powerful figures to his sex-trafficking ring. That would, in turn, benefit U.S. intelligence agencies in some way. Maybe they might want to blackmail Epstein&#8217;s associates or collect information about them, for example.
Here&#8217;s how Alex Acosta answered — or rather, didn&#8217;t answer — a reporter&#8217;s question about the Daily Beast&#8217;s reporting:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="006 Acosta V2" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/L9xkKZHB-6k?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
That wasn&#8217;t exactly a denial. Instead of saying, &#8220;No, I wasn&#8217;t told to go easy on Jeffrey Epstein because he &#8216;belonged to intelligence,'&#8221; Alex Acosta said that department policy prevented him from offering any kind of response. It&#8217;s not hard to conclude that Acosta was hiding something. That&#8217;s especially true since, according to public documents in Epstein&#8217;s plea deal, it&#8217;s stated that Epstein had <a href="https://x.com/TheViewFromLL2/status/1149424300438577153" target="_blank" rel="noopener">agreed</a> to provide, &#8220;information to the FBI.&#8221;
The government&#8217;s handling of Epstein&#8217;s case raised the obvious question of how many other deviants like Epstein might enjoy protection from the government, in one way or the other. How many other sex traffickers have been operating with impunity because the government is deliberately looking the other way?
<h4><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-1445-member-exclusive" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: The Matt Walsh Show</a></h4>
That&#8217;s a particularly important question to be asking after what happened yesterday involving Sean Combs — a.k.a. Diddy, a.k.a. Puff Daddy, a.k.a. P. Diddy. The U.S. Attorney in the Southern District of New York held a press conference announcing a series of criminal charges against Combs, including racketeering and sex trafficking. And by the U.S. Attorney&#8217;s own admission, these alleged offenses have been occurring for a very long time, and often involved something that Combs called &#8220;freak-offs.&#8221; Watch:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="007 Freak offs" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/QhzFdgNgvQk?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
According to the U.S. Attorney, there&#8217;s overwhelming evidence that these illegal &#8220;freak-offs&#8221; occurred, such as text messages, videos, and more than a thousand bottles of baby oil and lubricant. As soon as the feds executed the search warrants earlier this year on two of Combs&#8217; mansions, the evidence was all there. And according to the indictment that was unsealed yesterday, there&#8217;s also a lot of evidence that Sean Combs has been committing serious crimes for the past decade, right <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/u/1/d/1iSrpU9eql323koZY7Omi0TmOWzrIOpSQ/view" target="_blank" rel="noopener">out in the open</a>: &#8220;Physical abuse by Sean Combs &#8230;. was recurrent and widely known. On numerous occasions from at least in or about 2009 and continuing for years, Combs assaulted women by, among other things, striking, punching, dragging, throwing objects at, and kicking them.&#8221; That&#8217;s directly from the Grand Jury indictment.
<h4><a href="https://www.amiracist.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Am I Racist? Is In Theaters NOW — Get Your Tickets Here!</a></h4>
What&#8217;s not stated in the Grand Jury indictment is why this &#8220;widely known&#8221; conduct was ignored for so long. Why wasn&#8217;t Sean Combs charged criminally for any of this conduct at any point until yesterday? Why was he allowed to allegedly commit crimes that were, &#8220;recurrent and widely known&#8221; ever since 2009? As it happens, that was the very first question that the U.S. Attorney received at yesterday&#8217;s press conference. Here&#8217;s how the U.S. Attorney responded:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="008 why it took so long" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ilyQwegdtgY?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Like Alex Acosta, he has no answer whatsoever. But this is the single most important question he was asked during the entire press conference. How exactly can people have any confidence in the government, or federal prosecutors, if — by their own admission — it takes them well over a decade to bring charges when someone is allegedly committing crimes that are &#8220;recurrent and widely known&#8221;? Why exactly shouldn&#8217;t we believe that P. Diddy was being protected for some reason, just like Jeffrey Epstein was apparently protected? 
At this point, the burden of proof is not on us to answer that question. The burden is on the government.
It certainly looks as though there was ample reason to at least investigate Combs, going back a long time. There&#8217;s so much creepy and inappropriate footage involving Sean Combs that we could spend all day going through it. Here for example is a video of Combs with Justin Bieber, who at the time was just 15 years old. Watch:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

What kind of adult records a video like this with a child? He&#8217;s saying he&#8217;s going to do some undisclosed things with Justin Bieber. He&#8217;s talking about having custody of him, like he had custody of Usher. This would be disturbing even if there were no other videos like it. But there&#8217;s a lot of videos like it. Here&#8217;s another. Watch as Sean Combs tells Kevin Hart that he used to &#8220;wrestle&#8221; with Usher when Usher was just 10 years old. And then he says something else that sounds inappropriate, and Kevin Hart reacts as you&#8217;d expect. Watch:

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
&nbsp;
These kinds of videos have been all over the Internet for years. Did anyone in the government follow up on any of this? Did they ask anyone any questions about them? Did they apply for any kind of search warrant to look closer at Sean Combs&#8217; text messages, or to look for incriminating evidence on his properties? If not, why not? And for that matter, why wasn&#8217;t Combs charged after this video surfaced from a hotel in 2016, which appears to show him violently beating a woman on camera? Watch:

How exactly did that footage stay hidden for so long — long enough that the statute of limitations ran out, and local prosecutors couldn&#8217;t bring charges anymore? That&#8217;s the kind of question that a lot of people in the entertainment industry have been asking for a very long time. When there are multiple videos where you appear to be committing a crime, or engaging in very bizarre and disturbing conduct, then under normal circumstances you&#8217;d expect some follow-up. But there wasn&#8217;t any follow-up here. For his part, Kanye West repeatedly called Sean Combs a &#8220;fed&#8221; — both in interviews, and in text messages — probably because there didn&#8217;t appear to be any other rational explanation for how he could get away with this for more than a decade. How can anyone engage in conduct like this, without suffering any consequences for it, for so long?
One theory is that, like Epstein, Sean Combs was very well-connected with powerful people in Washington. In April of 2020, for example, Kamala Harris tweeted out <a href="https://x.com/KamalaHarris/status/1248624302682828802" target="_blank" rel="noopener">this message</a>: 
&#8220;Thank you, @Diddy, for hosting this town hall last night. There&#8217;s a lot at stake for our communities right now and it&#8217;s critical we bring to the forefront how coronavirus is perpetuating racial inequality and health disparities.&#8221;
So Sean Combs was helping to push Democrats&#8217; messaging that COVID was racist. This was during the summer of 2020, when calling everything racist was the Democrats&#8217; official campaign strategy. Meanwhile, other prominent &#8220;entertainers&#8221; — people like Jimmy Kimmel — suggested that Sean Combs could serve as president of the United States. After all, he&#8217;s not morally bankrupt like Donald Trump, right? Watch:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
Hi <a href="https://twitter.com/jimmykimmel?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@jimmykimmel</a>, will you still be running for office as P Diddy’s Vice President?

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
&nbsp;
One of the main takeaways from this is that the entertainment industry is full of extravagantly degenerate scumbags. These are people engaging in debauchery and opulence once reserved for the most corrupt Roman emperors. Diddy produced some low IQ gangsta rap in the 90s and found himself in the same position. This is why so much of what the entertainment industry produces is garbage. It’s made by morally reprobate parasites. These aren’t flawed artistic geniuses like we’ve had in the past, but vacuous airheads who’ve figured out how to sell trash to an audience even more vapid than they are. 
Jimmy Kimmel probably knew Sean Combs was a piece of garbage when he did this interview. But Jimmy Kimmel is also a piece of garbage, along with pretty much everyone else in the industry. So we get clips like that one.
<h4><a href="http://www.amiracist.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH THE TRAILER FOR &#8216;AM I RACIST?&#8217; — A MATT WALSH COMEDY ON DEI</a></h4>
Meanwhile, the &#8220;#MeToo&#8221; movement successfully canceled a lot of guys for some bad dates, but somehow it missed Sean Combs. Somehow he flew under the radar for more than a decade, even though, according to yesterday&#8217;s indictment, he wasn&#8217;t particularly good at hiding what he was doing. If those details are true, Sean Combs is an Epstein-level monster, if not worse. And yet no one did anything about it.
The question now is whether Sean Combs will meet the same fate as Jeffrey Epstein. Combs was just denied bail, even though his defense team offered to put up a $50 million bond, secured by his various properties. That&#8217;s a sign that he&#8217;ll be staying in jail at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn for a very long time. So as with Epstein, the government is now bringing down the hammer on Sean Combs, abruptly and without any real explanation. And if the Epstein case is any indication, we probably will never get an explanation.
All we can say with certainty is that a lot of people in Sean Combs&#8217; orbit are probably very nervous right now. And in turn, that should make Sean Combs himself very nervous. Five years after the death of Jeffrey Epstein, we&#8217;re no closer to getting a full explanation of his crimes or who he was associated with. Instead, with the arrest of Sean Combs and the sudden disclosure of his &#8220;freak offs&#8221;, there&#8217;s reason to think that yet another massive coverup is already underway.

Sexual Abuse

A previously deported <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/illegal-immigration" target="_blank" rel="noopener">illegal immigrant</a> has been charged in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/florida" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Florida</a> with sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl.
Kevin Mauricio Escobar Munoz, 20, was <a href="https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=915842907249893&amp;set=pcb.915845320582985" target="_blank" rel="noopener">arrested</a> on Wednesday by the Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office for sexual assault and burglary with battery. According to police, Escobar Munoz broke into the 14-year-old victim&#8217;s home and then sexually assaulted her.
Escobar Munoz is an illegal immigrant from Honduras and was previously deported in September 2022. He is currently in Okaloosa County Jail with an Immigration and Customs Enforcement detainer placed on him.
The girl was attacked back in April and investigators said they just matched DNA to Escobar Munoz.
“The victim told investigators that she awoke in her home located in Fort Walton Beach shortly before 7:00 a.m. on April 21st to a Hispanic male she did not know sexually assaulting her,” the sheriff’s office said in a news release. “She reported that he covered her mouth with his hand and spoke Spanish.”
Law enforcement said that the girl said she believed the attacker left her home by going out the back door.
“A medical examination of the victim showed a positive finding for sexual abuse. On July 11th, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement reported the male DNA profile which matched the contributing male sample from the victim’s sexual assault kit belonged to Escobar Munoz,” the sheriff’s office said.
According to investigators, Escobar Munoz was living within one mile of where the victim lived.
In a press conference, Okaloosa County Sheriff Eric Aden said that the southern border needed to be secured and that illegal immigration needs to end.
“I can tell you from a sheriff&#8217;s standpoint or local law enforcement, I’m tired of it,&#8221; he said, <a href="https://weartv.com/news/local/deputies-illegal-immigrant-sexually-assaulted-14-year-old-girl-in-fort-walton-beach?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAaZPhsaOElf8R1u1fMb_HvWRnzt-nzzGSffZCPOfzfajKwVmreOS22frUE8_aem_m9v1992md6K-RPy5mjKAHA" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to WEAR News. “There&#8217;s a process and I understand it&#8217;s arduous, but many people do it the right way. But coming across our borders and being able to have the benefit of citizens that local citizens don’t even have, it has to stop.&#8221;
