Sean Combs sex trafficking trial updates: Cassie's testimony ends after days of describing abuse

For a second time on the witness stand Cassie Ventura flipped through a binder containing photographs of escorts that she said were hired for "freak offs."

In a matter-of-fact tone she recalled their names: Ash, Brian, Dave, Greg and someone she knew as "Islander."

She had sex with all of them, some in multiple cities, and she told the jury it's possible she and Combs had some of them flown to different places, testimony that federal prosecutors no doubt hope helps prove one of the charges Combs faces, transportation for the purposes of prostitution.

Ventura hired them herself. "It was expected of me," she said.

Ventura also told the jury Combs turned "freak offs" into "blackmail," threatening to release video recordings "when he was upset about something."

She testified that Combs threatened "to embarrass me and put my career in jeopardy." She said she "absolutely" feared he would release the videos.

"I just feared for my career. I feared for my family. It's just embarrassing and disgusting. Nobody should do that to anyone," Ventura said, quoting Combs as telling her the videos "could ruin everything " that she worked for and make her look "like a slut."

The jury saw a text message from Ventura asking Combs to "please delete any video" from his phone. Combs responded that he had but she testified that there were times when she had seen videos she thought had been deleted.

Ventura testified Wednesday that she took the selfies on her Uber ride away from the Los Angeles hotel. She said she wore sunglasses because she had a black eye.

Once home, she said a friend of hers saw her injuries and was "super upset" because she'd "seen me with black eyes and busted lips before."

Cassie said her friend called police, but she declined to reveal who had injured her once police arrived so they left.

"In that moment, I didn't want to hurt him that way," she testified. "I wasn't ready."

She said he claimed police were about to arrest him. And when she refused to accept his phone calls, Combs told her that if she didn't pick up the phone, she'd "never hear my voice again," Cassie said.

Jurors were then shown pictures of Cassie and Combs at a movie premier soon after the March 2016 hotel attack. Cassie described bruises on her body that were visible in the photographs and said she was unable to cover up all the damage with makeup. She wore dark sunglasses to cover her black eye.

Cassie Ventura returned to the witness stand for a second day Wednesday in the racketeering and sex trafficking trial of Sean Combs and her testimony is expected to come with explicit videos of the "freak offs" she said she arranged so often for Sean Combs that it "became a job, where there was no space to do anything else."

As Ventura described, the "freak offs" became private pornography shoots with Combs setting up video equipment.

"It was very, like, like porn," Ventura said. "I was an object being heavily objectified by men in that scenario."

She told the jury the idea these "humiliating, disgusting" sessions with male prostitutes were recorded left her "feeling insane."

"I never wanted anyone to ever see me like that," Ventura testified. "It just was not OK for me."

There appear to be fewer members of the Combs family in court.

Ventura is seated in the witness box in a grey form-fitting long dress that makes her pregnancy evident, covered by a long dark colored jacket.

The R&B singer Cassie returns to the witness stand Wednesday after a day spent recounting grotesque and humiliating details of life with her ex-boyfriend, Sean "Diddy" Combs.

During her first day of testimony Tuesday at Combs' sex trafficking trial, Cassie described being pressured into degrading sexual encounters with paid sex workers. She also recounted being beaten numerous times by Combs when she did things that displeased him, like smiling at him the wrong way.

"You make the wrong face, and the next thing I knew, I was getting hit in the face," she said
