Statement from Cassie via attorney
In her statement, Cassie says ... "I hope that my testimony has given strength and a voice to other survivors, and can help others who have suffered to speak up and also heal from abuse and fear."
She continues ... "For me, the more I heal, the more I can remember. And the more I can remember, the more I will never forget."
Cassie thanked her family and advocates for their unwavering support and said she was grateful for all the kindness and encouragement she received
She added she's "glad to put this chapter of my life to rest as I turn to focus on the conclusion of my pregnancy."
Statement from her husband via attorney
Alex says ... "The world has gotten to witness the strength and bravery of my wife, freeing herself of her past. There has been speculation online surrounding how it must feel for me to sit there and listen to my wife's testimony."
He continues ... "I have felt so many things sitting there. I have felt tremendous pride and overwhelming love for Cass. I have felt profound anger that she has been subjected to sitting in front of a person who tried to break her."
Alex had a message for Diddy ... "So, to him and all of those who helped him along the way, please know this: You did not. You did not break her spirit nor her smile that lights up every room. You did not break the soul of a mother who gives the best hugs and plays the silliest games with our little girls. You did not break the woman who has made me a better man."
He adds ... "I did not save Cassie, as some have said. To say that is an insult to the years of painful work my wife has done to save herself. Cassie saved Cassie. She alone broke free from abuse, coercion, violence and threats. She did the work of fighting the demons that only a demon himself could have done to her. All I have done is love her as she has loved me."
Alex concludes ... "Her life is now surrounded by love, laughter and our family. This horrific chapter is forever put behind us, and we will not be making additional statements. We appreciate all of the love and support we have received, and we ask that you respect our privacy as we welcome our son into a world that is now safer because of his mom."

More context and details on the people go missing:
Prosecutors and Sean “Diddy” Combs’ defense attorneys are now having a discussion about former Danity Kane singer Dawn Richard’s testimony.
Earlier, Judge Arun Subramanian indicated they would sidebar over a defense objection to Richard’s description of threats Combs made.
Just before the judge dismissed the jury for the day, Richard, who worked for Combs in the mid-2000s, testified that after she and another woman saw Combs attack Cassie Ventura, he encouraged them not to say anything about the assault.
The next day, Combs asked Richard and the other woman, Kalenna Harper, to come to his home.
He brought them into a recording studio, locked the door, and told them that what they witnessed was “passion” and what lovers do, Richard testified.
Combs told them “it was in our best interest if we didn’t say anything” and that “where he comes from people go missing if they talk,” Richard testified.
He then gave them flowers, she said.
