Crime Roundup with Nancy Grace: Is Diddy Controlling the Courtroom?
Share and Follow

Sean “Diddy” Combs used “violence and fear” to run a criminal enterprise that allowed him to subject two former girlfriends to sex trafficking, a U.S. prosecutor said Thursday during closing arguments at the music mogul’s trial. Prosecutor Christy Slavik told jurors that Combs “uses power, violence, and fear to get what he wants,” adding, “He thought that his fame, wealth, and power put him above the law.”

Slavik cited Ventura Fine’s alleged involvement in several of Combs’ so-called “freak offs” as an example of the coercion he used during sexual encounters. Prosecutors argue Combs operated a criminal enterprise under a “climate of fear.” The jury is expected to begin deliberations late Friday or Monday.

Some observers say the trial has shifted from a question of whether Combs committed the acts to whether he will be held accountable.
