Cassandra "Cassie" Ventura testified in her ex-partner Sean "Diddy" Combs' federal trial, accusing him of years of abuse, control, and coercive sex acts known as "freak offs."

While taking the stand, the singer also alleged that he organized the "freak offs" with help from his staff, while boldly naming them.

Sean "Diddy" Combs' defense has since admitted to domestic violence but denied sex trafficking and racketeering, claiming the women involved made "free choices."

Cassie delivered powerful testimony on Tuesday in the ongoing federal trial where the music mogul faces sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution charges.

Taking the witness stand, the 38-year-old recounted years of alleged psychological and physical abuse that began when she was just 22.

She described a pattern of control, claiming Diddy enlisted assistants and staff to enforce his rules and orchestrate coercive sexual encounters known as "freak offs."

According to the Daily Mail, while testifying, Cassie identified several of Diddy's "trusted assistants" who she claimed played active roles in his alleged abuse and control.

Cassie said Khoram was aware of intimate details about her life and helped coordinate the so-called "freak offs," even monitoring Diddy's moods and daily schedules.

The singer also accused Diddy's security guard, known as R. Rock, of taking "away her things as punishment" at the mogul's request.

She stated: "[I'd] get my car taken away, get kicked out of an apartment, I'd have jewelry taken away... It was very random depending on how [Diddy] felt."

Cassie also said the guard would come and find her when she tried to "hide" from Diddy.

Several other members of Diddy's security circle were also named in Cassie's testimony, including Roger Bonds, Uncle Paulie, Faheem, and Malik.

Cassie detailed a harrowing 2016 incident during her testimony, recounting a violent altercation with Diddy that was caught on hotel surveillance footage.

The singer said the attack occurred during what began as a "freak off" involving her, the disgraced rap mogul, and another escort at the InterContinental Hotel in Los Angeles, just hours before her first film premiere.

As the encounter spiraled into violence, Cassie described her desperation to escape.

"I got hit by Sean and I had a black eye, and at that point all I could think about was getting out of there safely," she told the court.

The surveillance video reportedly shows Diddy shirtless, wrapped in a towel, aggressively chasing her down the hallway.

She also testified that Diddy had a habit of recording their sexual encounters without much prior conversation or consent. She, however, tried to delete the footage.

"I never wanted anyone to ever see me like that," she noted, adding that "It was disgusting."

During her testimony, Cassie recounted disturbing details about the so-called "freak offs" orchestrated by her ex-boyfriend.

She explained that the "Finna Get Loose" rapper didn't always stay in the room during these encounters with male sex workers, often choosing to watch remotely via FaceTime from another room.

Cassie said she would try to rush through the encounters to get back to Diddy, whom she described as the one totally in control.

"It was his fantasy," she said. "He was controlling the whole situation. He was directing it."

She testified that Diddy would sometimes require her to repeat acts or involve multiple escorts.

In one unsettling account, Cassie described how, after a sex act concluded, the rapper would allegedly ask for an escort's semen to be "put on his body in the next room," often telling her to rub it on his nipples.

When asked in court if this was something she wanted to do, Cassie responded, "No."

Diddy's Defense Admits To Abuse, Denies Sex Trafficking

Meanwhile, Diddy's defense admitted to the rapper's history of domestic violence but denied the far more serious allegations of sex trafficking and racketeering.

They argue that the case is being driven by bias against Diddy's private lifestyle rather than evidence of organized criminal conduct.

Attorney Mark Geragos acknowledged that Diddy's actions, such as the 2016 assault of Cassie captured on hotel surveillance, were deeply troubling, calling the footage "horrible, dehumanizing violence."

However, he argued that it doesn't equate to sex trafficking. "It is not evidence of sex trafficking. It is evidence of domestic violence," he told the jury, per the Daily Mail.

The defense also painted the accusers as "capable, strong, adult women," who willingly remained in relationships with Diddy.

"These adult, capable women will have to take on the same level of responsibility (as Combs)," Geragos said, "When any person makes an adult choice, that is a free choice. A free choice has pros, it has cons. They made free choices every single day for years."
