Cassie Ventura is one of the four alleged victims who should appear in the next federal trial against Sean “Diddy”, but she will not keep her anonymous testimony.
The 37 -year -old model and singer, who was in contact with Combs from 2007 to 2018, will testify under his own name against the rapper in disgrace on May 5.
Federal prosecutors recently submitted a request confirming that Ventura, which was initially called in legal files as a victim-1, will not remain anonymous during his testimony.
“(Cassie) is ready to testify under his own name. The victim-2, the victim-3 and the victim-4 asked that their identity will not be revealed to the press or to the public. ”
“This case has already received an exceptional amount of media coverage, which will probably only increase that the trial,” said the new file.
“The permit of these measures will prevent unnecessary public disclosure from the identity of the victims and the harassment of the media and others, the undue embarrassment and other negative consequences which would almost certainly follow if these women were forced to reveal their real names publicly at the trial.”
Combs, 55, faces five charges on three federal accusations, including racketeering, sex traffic by force, fraud or coercion. and transport to engage in prostitution. He pleaded not guilty of all accusations.
Ventura, which was subjected to domestic violence by combs in a viral flight sequence, had previously filed a civil complaint against him but settled the question amicable one day later.
Shortly after viral images, dozens of other civil proceedings surrounded combs with several women and men accusing the founder of Bad Boy Records of sexual assault.
At the time, three of the rapper’s properties were attacked by the FBI.
He is currently detained without surety at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn since his arrest on September 16.
