The music mogul’s lawyers are walking his former girlfriend, who is now a government witness, through a voluminous history of text and audio messages.
Sean Combs’s former girlfriend, who has said she was subjected to a pattern of degrading sex marathons with male escorts, was confronted by the defense on Wednesday with a stream of text messages surrounding those encounters.
The woman — who is testifying under the pseudonym Jane — is on her second day of cross-examination as Mr. Combs’s lawyers seek to portray her as a willing participant in the sex nights. Mr. Combs is facing charges of sex trafficking Jane and another former girlfriend, as well as racketeering conspiracy, and has pleaded not guilty to all charges.
In one exchange in late 2021, a pornographic actor who was a regular participant in what the couple referred to as “debauchery” or “hotel nights” texted Jane to marvel that a recent encounter had been the “roughest sex we ever had.”
Jane responded that it was “def one for the books,” alongside a series of emojis, including what Jane described as a “mind-blown” emoji.
Prosecutors say Mr. Combs coerced Jane into these nights, and she has testified that they left her feeling disgusted, used and sometimes physically sick, saying that Mr. Combs tended to be dismissive when she voiced her aversion to them.
While questioning Jane, the defense highlighted messages from Mr. Combs in which he appeared to be solicitous about what she wanted to do sexually.
