Alleged victim ‘Mia’ to take stand in Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs trial

1 day ago 7

Testimony is set to continue on Wednesday in the federal racketeering conspiracy and sex-trafficking trial of Sean “Diddy” Combs, with prosecutors planning to call several witnesses to the stand, including an alleged victim identified by the pseudonym “Mia”.

Mia has been described as one of Combs’s former employees, who prosecutors say will testify that Combs “forced himself on her sexually” while she was working for him.

Other witnesses that the prosecutors said they intend to call up on Wednesday include a Los Angeles police department officer and an arson investigator from the Los Angeles fire department.

Combs, 55, faces federal charges of sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy and transportation to engage in prostitution. Arrested in September 2024, Combs has pleaded not guilty to all five counts.

On Tuesday, one of Combs’s former employees, Capricorn Clark, gave a full day of testimony, telling jurors that in 2011 Combs kidnapped her and forced her to accompany him to the home of rapper Scott Mescudi, known as Kid Cudi, after Combs discovered that Mescudi had been dating Combs’s on-again, off-again girlfriend, singer Casandra “Cassie” Ventura.

According to Clark, Combs said that he was going “to kill” Mescudi.

Clark also testified that she witnessed Combs violently assault Ventura upon learning of her brief relationship with Mescudi.

During her time working for Combs, Clark said that Combs repeatedly threatened her life, subjected her to lie detector tests, and once pushed her in 2006 at his Miami home, among other things.

Since the trial began on 12 May, more than 15 witnesses have testified, including Ventura, Mescudi, singer Dawn Richard, two of Combs’s former assistants, Ventura’s former best friend and her mother, an exotic dancer, a male revue manager, a hotel security officer, a special agent from Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), a forensic psychologist, a makeup artist, the general manager of a Beverly Hills hotel and a computer forensics agent from HSI.
