“The court calls Casandra Ventura,” a clerk called out

R&B singer Cassie Ventura testified in Sean "Diddy" Combs' trial that much of her life while dating him revolved around "freak offs."

There were moments when Cassie Ventura did not seem comfortable in the spotlight, perhaps because of what she now says was happening in the shadows.

Sean 'Diddy' Combs' trial began at the Daniel Patrick Moynihan Courthouse in New York City on Monday as opening statements were read out to the jury

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, who is on trial at a Manhattan court on several allegations of sex crimes, was allegedly pinned against the wall by a security guard who claims Combs tried to bribe him after the music mogul assaulting his then-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, the former guard said in court.

Diddy allegedly forced an escort to urinate in Cassie Ventura’s mouth until she choked during one of his so-called “Freak-Off” sex parties, federal prosecutors told a New York jury Monday (May 12) as opening arguments began in the Hip-Hop mogul’s sex trafficking trial.
