Cassie isn’t backing down even after the verdict has been given in Diddy’s trial.
Just hours after the music mogul was convicted on prostitution charges, Cassie’s legal team is demanding he stay behind bars, warning the court he remains a danger to victims who testified against him.
In a powerful letter submitted to Judge Arun Subramanian, Cassie’s attorney, Douglas Wigdor, made it crystal clear: freedom for Diddy could mean fear for survivors.
“Ms. Ventura believes that Mr. Combs is likely to pose a danger to the victims who testified in this case, including herself, as well as to the community,” Wigdor wrote.
If you’ve been following the case, you know the R&B singer and former girlfriend of Combs took the stand while eight months pregnant, detailing over a decade of alleged abuse. She described horrifying “freak offs” and “hotel nights,” where she was allegedly coerced into sex acts with male escorts, all orchestrated by Diddy.
And she wasn’t alone. Another woman, referred to only as “Jane,” told the court similar stories, helping to paint a chilling picture of control, violence, and exploitation hidden behind music industry glitz.
The jury ultimately found Diddy not guilty of the most serious charges, sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy, but convicted him of two Mann Act violations: transporting women across state lines for prostitution. Each conviction carries a potential 10-year sentence.
Now, with Diddy awaiting sentencing, the tug-of-war is on: freedom or jail.
Cassie’s not the only one asking the judge to keep Diddy locked up. Prosecutors also filed a letter urging the court to deny bail, citing public safety concerns and calling the offenses “crimes of violence.” They argued:
“Even if detention was not mandatory here, which it is, the defendant cannot meet his burden to show by clear and convincing evidence that he is not likely to flee or pose a danger to any other person or the community.”
But Diddy’s team is pushing back hard. They say he’s been on his best behavior since his arrest back in September 2024. In their letter, they offered up a $1 million bail package, promising travel restrictions, drug testing, and the surrender of his passport.
“Mr. Combs has obeyed the Court, respected these proceedings, and demonstrated model behavior at the MDC,” his lawyers wrote. “The jury unambiguously rejected the government’s allegations that Mr. Combs ran a criminal enterprise.”
Judge Subramanian has scheduled a remote hearing for next Tuesday at 2 p.m. ET to address the sentencing scheduling.
