4
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:19,600

00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 2: continued to unravel in Manhattan Federal District Court as his

8
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:36,199
Speaker 2: sex trafficking trial entered its fifth grueling week, facing a

9
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 2: potential life sentence. The hip hop mogul listened as a

10
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:44,599
Speaker 2: former girlfriend, testifying under the pseudonym Jane, delivered more harrowing

11
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 2: accounts of drug fueled freak offs and alleged coercion, painting

12
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 2: a portrait of control and depravity. On Day twenty four, Jane,

13
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 2: who dated Combs until his September twenty twenty four arrest,

14
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 2: resumed her explosive testimony, detailing hotel knights sexual encounters with

15
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 2: mail escorts that Combs allegedly orchestrated. She tearfully explained her endurance,

16
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 2: believing these encounters were necessary to secure her financial lifeline,

17
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 2: including her monthly rent. Here's crime on Lines Dave Mack.

18
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 3: Jane says after the twenty twenty three trip to Turks

19
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 3: and Keko's, she entered into a love contract with Combs.

20
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:27,959
Speaker 3: Jane said they agreed on a two year contract because

21
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 3: the match of the time they had already spent in

22
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 3: the relationship. Jane said she moved into a house where

23
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 3: Combs paid the rent in April of twenty twenty three.

24
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 3: Asked by prosecutor, comy, who's paying the rent now, Jane

25
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 3: says Sean.

26
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 2: Jane recalled a twenty twenty two Turks and Cacost trip

27
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 2: where Combs chillingly nicknamed her crack Pipe, a moniker, she

28
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 2: claimed underscored his pervasive control over her. Jane described a

29
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 2: brutal twenty four hour session with an escort named Paul,

30
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 2: leaving her quote extremely sore in tears end quote, yet

31
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 2: Comb's allegedly dismissed her pain. In a new disturbing twist,

32
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 2: Jane testified about actively using these hotel nights to manipulate Ditty.

33
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 2: She recounted an incident on vacation when Ditty was with

34
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 2: another woman, young Miami. Jane allegedly pulled the hotel night card,

35
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 2: warning Diddy quote he wouldn't get to do anything he

36
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:27,359
Speaker 2: wanted with her end quote if he stayed with Young Miami.

37
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 2: After did, he abruptly left his vacation early. Jane claimed

38
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:35,079
Speaker 2: she arranged a Valentine's Day freak off with two different

39
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 2: entertainers as a quote unquote treat for him. She further

40
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 2: revealed they would often role play and watch Dateline together.

41
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 2: Defense attorney Tenny Garrigos vigorously cross examined Jane, attempting to

42
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 2: portray her as a willing participant by highlighting affectionate texts

43
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 2: such as, quote, we don't have to go crazy for

44
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 2: the rest of the year end quote. Comb's allegedly texted

45
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 2: Jane in twenty twenty one and suggesting mutual planning of

46
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:06,920
Speaker 2: hotel nights. Jane vehemently countered, stating she was quote positively

47
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:10,919
Speaker 2: reinforcing him so he didn't feel rejected end quote. Garagos

48
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 2: also pressed Jane on her alleged jealousy over Combe's attention

49
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 2: to other women, including Cassie Ventura. Prosecutor's allege Didy's entire

50
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 2: empire facilitated these sex crimes with employees coordinating the freak offs. Didty,

51
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 2: known as puff Daddy and Love denies all coercion, admitting

52
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 2: to past domestic violence, but steadfastly insisting all sexual encounters

53
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:41,279
Speaker 2: were consensual. Testimony continues Thursday, with Jane's cross examination expected

54

Speaker 4: More crime and justice news after this, The pre dawn

61
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 4: quiet of a valley village home shattered in a terrifying

62
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 4: instant when a woman asleep on her couch awoke not

63
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 4: to her alarm, but to.

64
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 2: A silent stranger standing just feet away from her. The figure,

65
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 2: a man, was caught not with his pants down. He

66
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 2: was completely naked from the waist down and pleasuring himself,

67
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 2: turning her sanctuary into a scene straight out of a nightmare.

68
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 2: The terrified homeowner, identified only as Amy, spoke to KTLA

69
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:35,359
Speaker 2: five News.

70
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 1: It was pretty terrifying.

71
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 3: That's for a woman.

72
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 4: It's like the most I think HiT's our most primal

73
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,679
Speaker 4: fear right a sexual assault.

74
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 2: Amy told authorities she was asleep on her couch when

75
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 2: she opened her eyes to the chilling site while inside

76
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 2: her home on Otsego Street at one fifty two in

77
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 2: the morning. She scrambled, grabbed her dog and phone, and

78
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 2: then bolted for her very life right out the back door.

79
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 2: She then ran across the street, hiding in her neighbor's

80
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 2: bushes as she frantically called nine one one. She says

81
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 2: she just kept watching the house, but the guy didn't leave.

82
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 2: LAPD finally arrived and apprehended the intruder. The suspect, described

83
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 2: as wearing a poncho on top, but only socks and

84
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,600
Speaker 2: sandals on his feet, was cuffed. The man was later

85
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 2: taken for a mental health evaluation. Once back inside, Amy's

86
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 2: fear did not subside. She found her naked intruder had

87
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 2: removed her undergarments from the laundry basket and had them

88
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:30,719
Speaker 2: placed right next to a picture of her that he

89
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:34,279
Speaker 2: had moved. But that's not all the most disturbing twist

90
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 2: in this already unsettling saga. Because Amy's back door was unlocked,

91
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:43,480
Speaker 2: official say this poncho wearing purp will not face a

92
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:48,919
Speaker 2: burglary charge. The maximum he can face is trespassing, and

93
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 2: finally turns out virtual court hearings and making lunch are

94
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 2: a recipe for disaster. A Detroit judge just booted a

95
00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 2: single mom from her zoom hearing because she was busy

96
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 2: whipping up a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and plain sight.

97
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 2: Video from the hearing shows Asia outer Bridge, a fashion stylist,

98
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 2: straight up making the peb and jay while on camera,

99
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:16,839
Speaker 2: much to the dismay of thirty sixth District Court Judge

100
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 2: Sean Perkins. He also had a major issue with her

101
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 2: courtroom attire, a casual T shirt and a bathrobe. Again,

102
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,719
Speaker 2: it's on zoom. Though outer Bridge tried to explain she

103
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 2: was having a mommy day because her three year old

104
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:30,599
Speaker 2: was sick, but the judge wasn't having it. Take a listen,

105
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:32,280
Speaker 2: my daughter sick, I.

106
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 4: Had to keep her hand from school. I'm just trying

107
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 4: to be her. That is eighty.

108
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 3: You're in court, Bridge, Bridge. I'm sorry that your daughters said,

109
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 3: but again, you're in court, okay, and we're going to

110
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:45,159
Speaker 3: treat it as such.

111
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 2: Between the sandwich, the bathrobe, and outer Bridge's alleged lateness

112
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 2: for her misdemeanor open alcohol container charge. Perkins promptly kicked

113
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 2: her offline. Outer Bridge said she had waited for hours

114
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 2: in the Zoom waiting room, but admitted she, quote on quote,

115
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 2: could have come better prepared. She also feels though the

116
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:06,480
Speaker 2: judge could have had some mercy on a single mom,

117
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,279
Speaker 2: maybe he's more of a ham and cheese guy.
