Alleged text messages from Sean "Diddy" Combs after Cassie attack in sex trafficking case revealed
Four months after a 2016 surveillance video showing Sean "Diddy" Combs assaulting ex-rapper Cassie Ventura was released, prosecutors read out alleged text messages between the two during his second attempt to post bail.
More details have emerged about Sean "Diddy" Combs' alleged victim.
Four months after CNN released a surveillance video showing him attacking ex-rapper Cassie Ventura in a hotel hallway in 2016, prosecutors read out alleged text messages between the two during Combs' second attempt to post bail on September 18.
According to an NBC News reporter who was present, Assistant U.S. Attorney Emily Johnson said this during a hearing two days after Combs was arrested in New York City and charged with organized crime conspiracy, sex trafficking and transportation of prostitution. The court heard that Combs allegedly sent a text message a few days after the attack saying, "Call me, the police are here."
“I have six kids,” he continued. “Call, I’m surrounded.”
Johnson alleged that the victim of the 2016 attack, who was not named during the hearing, responded, “Sick you think it’s OK to do what you’ve done.”
Combs was denied bail after the judge found the bail offered by the defense during the hearing to be "insufficient." Judge Andrew Carter agreed with the prosecution that "no conditions exist that would guarantee" that the 54-year-old would not "obstruct justice."
Meanwhile, Combs' lawyer, Mark Agnifilo, spoke out against the sentence outside the courthouse.
According to an NBC News reporter, Agnifilo said the hearing "did not result in a favorable outcome for us." "He believes he is innocent. I believe he is innocent and we will fight this case with all our might until we no longer have to fight it."
