AUSA Slavik: That, before the plane even lands, is a completed act of s***trafficking. He tricked her. Then, under coercions, she calls Cabral to come to New York. In the next text, she says in NYC I knew you would pair me up with a random person

AUSA Slavik: In the sobriety party, without d****, she is so disgusted she vomits. She writes, I'm not a p*** star, I'm not an animal. I need a break. The defendant responds, Let's spend the day, no strangers. She replies, You'll love bomb me

AUSA Slavik: He switches from carrot to stick - the house. He texts, Are you going to let me into our house. Eight times. Then he said he was sick & needed her. She went - and had s***with three different men, without d****. After vomit, he said Get back out there

AUSA Slavik: 2024 in Jane's house. Three months after Homeland Security agents searched the defendant's homes. They used Jane's house. He came there. They were supposed to have a fun date night. They drank and argued. She pushed his head into the counter.

AUSA Slavik: He shouted at her. She told him to leave. She ran and closed doors - he kicked down three doors. You saw the doors, here's one of them on the screens
[public screens are still off - for no reason]
AUSA: She ran without shoes. She hid. He was waiting

AUSA Slavik: Jane hit the defendant. He punched her in the face. Here are photos
[Public screens are off]
AUSA: He dragged her by the hair back into the house. Jane took his phone and called the other woman. She shouted. The defendant called Jonathan Perez.

AUSA Slavik: He followed her into the shower & hit her, knocked her down. He called Anton the escort and told her to have s***with him. She put on make up to hide her injuries. She drove to pick up Anton at the gate. Then the defendant said, Take this f*cking pill

AUSA Slavik: He put his face inches from her and asked, Is this coercion? He was brazenly acknowledging he was breaking the very same law he violated before. Jane didn't want to have s***with the escort that night. She said No. But he wouldn't take no as an answer

Judge: Ms. Slavik, at the appropriate time let's break for lunch.
AUSA Slavik: This would be a fine time.
Judge: OK, jurors, you may go eat.
[Break]

"We are not asking you to find that every hotel night or freak off was s***trafficking, or even the majority. You only need to find the elements were met one time. One freak off. That's it."

Welp it's a wrap for that S***trafficking charge whew

I have thoughts lol

Find it so funny how some are saying "they didn't prove rico" or "they didn't prove s***trafficking"

Uhh what. By now it's obvious they clearly did

The forced labor component - Duh

Distribution of D**** - Duh

The facilitating of s***trafficking of Cassie and Daphne - Duh

Bribery - Duh

Kidnapping - Duh

Travel across state lines for commercial s***acts - Duh

These things obviously happened, and once you factor in his staff assisting and facilitating of these things happening (for instance, KK's role) you get the obvious rico. You only need two to get to the Rico.

Racketeering ✅

The prostitution charge? ✅

The s***trafficking charge? Multiple conversations of Daphne voicing her displeasure, vomiting due to the excessive d*** use during FO's and still being forced to continue, being beat and afterwards forced to do a FO EVEN after he was under investigation, Cassie's sexual trafficking was proven via the blackmailing which is a form of coercion, the stalking, which is another form of force / coercion, violence and threat of violence with the beatings and the guns,

S***trafficking ✅

There is no defense for this lol

1:25 pm they've back
Judge: Ms. Slavik, are you ready?
AUSA: Just to flag for the court, we are going to need to change PowerPoints
Clerk: Can we turn the public screens on?
Apparently not

All rise!
[Jurors enter]
Judge: Ms. Slavik, you may proceed.
AUSA Slavik: Let's go back - the three nights were part of a build up, from fraud to coercion to finally force.
[Loud beeping]
AUSA: I apologize
Judge: Do you need to change the batteries?

Courtroom deputy: Ms. Slavik, do you need batteries? Double A?
[Combs still with chair pushed back, now legs cross, hands crossed]
AUSA Slavik: The house was just an example of defendant's financial coercion of Jane. Also d**** - they came a necessary part of s**

AUSA Slavik: Jane told you about Miami in 2024, he gave her liquid Molly. They showed you video, they'll argue that she was super into it. But she was super super high. His coercion included threats to release tapes of her having s***in the hotel rooms

AUSA Slavik: Combs threated to send s***tapes to Jane's child's father. This was to coerce her into more commercial s***acts. The defense has suggested that Jane agreed to these hotel nights. Let's talk about what agreeing means. Their's is an imcomplete picture

AUSA Slavik: Let's turn to volume 2. We're going to talk about Cassie, with several examples. You know from sitting through this trial that force was not limited to these days. Through the decade they were together, he forced her to have s***with escorts

AUSA Slavik: Cassie was 19, he was in his late 30s. He signed her to 10 record deal. He took her on a yacht and gave her Ecstasy. They had sex. They were in a relationship. She had just turned 21. The defendant was her boss, who called all the shots.

AUSA Slavik: He molded her. He told Capricorn, let me show you - then ordered Cassie around. She did it, walk and turn around. Total compliance. He didn't take no for an answer. He was abusive: physical, emotional, psychological, sexual.

AUSA Slavik: They want you to call this domestic violence. But he was forcing her to have freak-offs. He controlled everything. He demanded that her nails be done a certain way, on red carpets. The Vanity Fair party in 2014, Deonte Nash told you - he shouted

AUSA Slavik: Combs shouted, I thought I told y'all she had to have her hair up. He wouldn't let her make money from her music. She was offered the chance to do a Common video, Puff said no. He paid for her car, clothing, phones and vacation. He made her dependent

AUSA Slavik: He did it to her family too. After he found out she was with Kid Cudi, he demanded $20,000 from her parent to pay him back, or he'd release s***tapes. That month in just this account he had $3.2 million coming in and out. This was about control

AUSA Slavik: Remember what Doctor Hughes said: when a victim is on unsure footing the abuser has control. He punched her, kicked her, dragged her. When it was bad he hid her in hotels to heal & not be seen. You saw photos and video. D Roc, Rube, Paulie, they knew

AUSA Slavik: He attached her for attending a Prince party, until Prince's security intervened. Mia and Myra Morales described abuse to you. Cassie told you, when she got to the house he threatened to release the s***tapes. He assaulted her in Jamaica

AUSA Slavik: He beat her up in Las Vegas while she was curled up under the toilet. She said D Roc cried. There was his assault at the Inter-Continental Hotel, caught on tape. For Cassie, it was her normal. She was there when he attached Mia, Devonte Nash - & Bana

AUSA Slavik: Bana may have gotten the date wrong. But she had injured. One time he has Cassie told guns for him. The diner and Suge Knight incident? Cassie was in the house. She saw. Why didn't she leave? Ms. Hughes explained that hitting leads to fear.

AUSA Slavik: Even when Cassie was in South Africa, she could not get away. KK kept calling. D Roc was loyal only to the defendant. He played both sides - he talked to Cassie then reported it back to the defendant. "She about to ice up, I told her to chill out"

D Roc hilarious

AUSA Slavik: They met for dinner in Malibu - then he raped her on the living room floor. She said no. She cried. But he didn't take no for an answer. He raped her. He wrote, I could tell I didn't turn you on yesterday. That is, he raped her

AUSA Slavik: Because of the trauma bond, after the rape, she met him at a friend's party then had sex. Consensual sex. This was a trauma bond. He had an M.O. - an hours-long performance, he masturbated and sometimes filmed. Just like with Jane.

AUSA Slavik: Sometimes the defendant told escort to urinate on her. Sometime he urinated himself. Why? To turn himself on. She began d*** addicted. Here she wrote, I love our FOs, when we both want it. Jurors, this is not an all or nothing situation
