Yes, that’s what is said above, the sex trafficking is a crime. But he’s not on trial for coercing Cassie into having sex with them. He’s on trial for the actual sex trafficking. People online are excusing him for his sexual preferences from wanting to watch Cassie have sex with other men. Two different topics. |
I was responding to the poster who said they didn't understand whether what he was doing is illegal. It is illegal. So at a minimum, he should be found guilty of sex trafficking. He is also a disgusting individual and so is every single person who enabled him. And as a society, we need to really ask ourselves why fame, money and power are so intoxicating that we would even consider associating with (much less date) a person like Combs, Weinstein, Epstein, etc. Cassie herself testified she thought Combs would help her music career. And then she found herself in so deep, well, you know the rest. Not victim shaming, just so sad that this happened to her and countless other women and men. |
I've always liked Misa Hylton but I find it disappointing she's been showing up to court. Maybe she's there to support her son, but he's a grown man; 31 years old. Chance's mother has also been showing up to court. smh |
It's so obvious he did the sex trafficking. Why would they not plea this case. I don't get it. |
Ah, so this is why he had Cassie contacting all the men. This guy is SUCH A CREEP. |
Correct, however, it's important because this will show a pattern of behavior that can strengthen the sex trafficking case against him. There are three other victims who will be testifying for the prosecution. |
his defense is that it was all consensual. Other than the physical abuse, which is not part of the trial, he thinks he had done nothing illegal. |
And it's why she needs to detail the level of abuse and coercion she was under and describe the whole scene in such detail. So it is clear even though she was the one contacting them and paying them it was his money and his direction. |
The fact that he had her making all the contact means he knew it was illegal all along and he would be exposed legally if this ever came out. It's another level of what a diabolical piece of crap he is. Not only did he make her a sex slave, he was setting her up to take the fall if there ever was one. |
According to the defense's case, she should be on trial for sex trafficking. We're all agreeing the illegal activity took place. It's just who is responsible. I am following this case in the media and I don't feel like any of this has been well explained. I am finally getting the bigger picture reading this thread. |
Him instructing Cassie to contact the prostitutes and instructing someone to pay them does not absolve him of guilty. He probably thinks it does, but it just makes him the boss. He’s guilty. Legally he is still a trafficker. |
Right? Then why is he dumb enough to let this go to trial and have all this exposed. Ego? |
People are trying to excuse him because he is Black, he is bisexual, and because they like his music/talent. Hollywood and Motown want to forgive him. |
Guilt. Combs is the boss, he delegated, but he’s still guilty of trafficking. Cassie acted as his agent, at his orders/instructions. His defense of her being the one that contacted prostitutes doesn’t prove he didn’t tell her to do it. She’s testified that he did tell her. It can be consensual that prostitutes willingly travel to a job at your request and you pay them, but that still makes you a sex trafficker. Being under duress isn’t required. |
They’re paying for articles that say this is all being done to “bring down a powerful black man“ because that’s what Maga wants – only white people to be powerful. However, Suge Knight just came out and said Trump will pardon Diddy if convicted. |
