Prosecutors say Diddy used power to abuse women in closing remarks of trial

"The defendant used power, violence and fear to get what he wanted, prosecutor Christy Slavik told jurors in her address."

"Combs pushed people to participate in drug-fuelled sex parties known as freak offs, with footage of sex acts used as leverage."

In a closing argument during a six-week trial, U.S. prosecutors claimed that Sean Diddy Combs leveraged his wealth and influence to avoid accountability for violent abuse against women. They asserted that he controlled a criminal conspiracy, fostering an environment of fear and coercion. Testimonies revealed disturbing accounts of sexual exploitation, manipulation, and the use of intimidation tactics through a network of employees. Prosecutor Christy Slavik emphasized Combs's perceived immunity due to his fame, while defense attorneys countered by framing the accusations as misinterpretations of a consensual lifestyle.
