Cassie Speaks Out Against Diddy in Letter Ahead of Sentence
""Sean Combs used violence, threats, substances, and control over my career to trap me in over a decade of abuse," she wrote. "He groomed me into performing repeated sex acts with hired male sex workers during multi-day 'Freak-Offs,' which occurred nearly weekly. I was forced into lingerie and heels, told exactly how to look, and plied with drugs and alcohol so he could control me like a puppet," Cassie wrote."
""When prosecutors in Sean \"Diddy\" Combs's federal criminal case argued that he should get at least 135 months behind bars when he's sentenced on October 3, their filing included statements from Casandra \" Cassie\" Ventura and Mia. Both women testified at trial that Diddy sexually abused them. Judges consider these types of letters, called victim-impact statements, when determining an appropriate sentence. Diddy faces a maximum sentence of 20 years. He is requesting a sentence that's effectively time served.""
Prosecutors sought at least 135 months' imprisonment at sentencing scheduled for October 3 and filed victim-impact statements from Casandra "Cassie" Ventura and Mia. Both women testified that Sean "Diddy" Combs sexually abused them. Judges consider victim-impact letters when determining sentence. Combs faces a statutory maximum of 20 years but is requesting a sentence effectively amounting to time served. Cassie's letter described prolonged coercion, grooming into performing repeated sex acts with hired male sex workers during near-weekly multi-day 'Freak-Offs,' enforced dress and appearance rules, and drug and alcohol use to ensure control. Cassie reported degrading events, infections, exhaustion, and ongoing panic with nightmares and flashbacks.
