Laura Coates, de CNN, repasa los cinco cargos de los que se acusa al magnate del hip-hop Sean "Diddy" Combs, las principales pruebas y testimonios presentados ante el jurado y cómo la defensa rebate las acusaciones.

New York

Sean 'Diddy' Combs is on trial facing five felony charges, including racketeering (RICO), sex trafficking, and transportation for prostitution. Prosecutors allege Combs was involved in bribery, arson, and coercive sexual activities, citing testimony and evidence such as hotel surveillance footage, claims of bribery to suppress the footage, and allegations of orchestrating violent acts and sex trafficking. 

The defense disputes these allegations, asserting that all parties acted of their own free will and that no criminal enterprise existed. They argue that any payments were for time, not sex, and that the activities described were consensual. The defense also claims that evidence against Combs is motivated by financial gain. The jury will ultimately decide the outcome based on the evidence presented.

Los testimonios y pruebas clave del juicio a "Diddy

Diddy está acusado, acusado de cinco delitos graves, RICO, tráfico sexual por fraude forzado o coacción, y transporte para ejercer la prostitución. Si es condenado, podría pasar el resto de su vida en prisión. RICO es la ley más grave de estos cargos, pero también el más complejo. Los fiscales tuvieron que demostrar que un grupo de personas, conocido como una empresa, trabajaron juntos para cometer un patrón de crímenes en un período de 10 años. Aunque existen muchas tipos de presuntos delitos que pueden calificar como actividad de crimen organizado, la acusación se centró principalmente en dos, el soborno y el incendio provocado. En primer lugar, el soborno. Aunque Diddy era no fue acusado de agredir a Cassie Ventura, como se ve en la ahora infame imágenes de vigilancia del hotel, los fiscales dicen que sobornó a un seguridad del hotel guardia con $ 100.000 para asegurarse de que el video nunca vio la luz del día. Segundo, incendio provocado. Los fiscales alegan que Diddy jugó un papel en el intento de volar el Porsche del rapero Kid Cudi con un cóctel molotov cuando supo que estaba saliendo con Cassie Ventura, y obligó a una empleada a conducir con él a la casa mientras estaba armado. El tráfico sexual también puede considerarse actividad de crimen organizado, pero fue acusado por separado. Para probar el tráfico sexual, los fiscales tienen que demostrar que Diddy utilizó amenazas o la fuerza o la coacción para hacer las mujeres participaran en los llamados freak-offs o noches de hotel o noches de rey, que testimonio reveló fueron alimentados por drogas ilícitas como el éxtasis y la ketamina y cocaína, a veces durando días sin dormir. Los fiscales afirman que Diddy vio a estas mujeres con acompañantes masculinos a sueldo empapados en aceite de bebé tener relaciones sexuales. Cassie Ventura y otros testificaron no sólo que Diddy a veces filmaba a estas locuras, sino que también amenazó con hacerlas públicas, incluso a ella. trabajos de sus padres para mantenerlos sumisos. Los fiscales también mostraron lo que alegan que sucedía si ella no era obediente, castigando con violencia física, reteniendo de dinero, retención de oportunidades de carrera. Por último, los fiscales han lo acusan de dos cargos de transporte para ejercer la prostitución, acusándolo de viajar con algunos acompañantes masculinos a través de las fronteras estatales a ciudades como Nueva York, Los Ángeles y Miami, y pagándoles miles de dólares al mes. noche para realizar actos sexuales. Pero espera, la defensa disputa todo esto, manteniendo que todos tenían libre albedrío y lo ejercieron. Dicen que no hay empresa criminal, sólo empleados de Combs trabajando para su legítima negocios. No facilitaron el tráfico sexual o la prostitución, y cualquier dinero que se gastó en su vida personal procedía de los ingresos personales de Diddy, no de sus negocios. Y la defensa alega que algunos hombres fueron pagados por su tiempo, no por sexo. Niegan que Diddy prendiera fuego al coche de Kid Cudi, y afirman que pagó por las imágenes del hotel porque ni Cassie ni Diddy querían la mala publicidad. En cuanto a esos enloquecimientos, te parecerá extraño, pero fue simplemente su predilección sexual privada, y todo fue consentido. La defensa argumenta que los propios mensajes de texto de las presuntas víctimas y su organización de la lo confirman. La defensa dice que cualquier prueba de lo contrario es sólo el resultado de un celoso robo de dinero. ¿Una cosa que no negaron? El violencia en las imágenes de vigilancia del hotel. Le recuerdan al jurado que él no es acusado de ningún delito por eso. Doce jurados decidirán a quién creen.
