AUSA Slavik: The defendant was having a freak off with Cassie and one of the escorts, Jules. Florez found the defendant sitting in a chair with what he called a devilish stare. In the room, he saw another man. The defendant tried to hand Florez a stack of money

AUSA Slavik: It was his first attempt at a bribe that day. As Cassie leaves, Combs starts damage control -
Judge: We had a power issue. Is your mic working?
AUSA Slavik: Hello? Yes. He called Cassie over a dozen times. The texts: Call me, cops are here

AUSA Slavik: He was just manipulating her. But the defendant knew he could be arrested. There was video of the assault. He went and banged on Cassie's door with a hammer. Neighbors were going to call the police. They did in fact go. Kerry Morgan had the LAPD card

AUSA Slavik: KK suggests, Say they had a fun drunk night. She calls and reaches Eddy Garcia. Eddy says no. Then KK shows up in person. He won't show her, but says off the record, It's bad. KK has the defendant call Eddy, on him personal cell phone

AUSA Slavik: Once Eddy says his boss will do it for $50,000, the defendant calls him Eddy My Angel. That's how he's saved in the cell phone. Eddy goes to deliver the USB. D Roc and KK are there. The defendant counted out dollar by dollar the bribe.

AUSA Slavik: Eddy told you the security guard told him he came up with the defendant. That was D Roc. Eddy asked the defendant, What if Cassie calls police? So the defendant knew. Eddy finds the ID of stand-in for Florez. NDAs are signed - don't speak to anyone

[For those asking, during this closing, Sean Combs has his chair pushed way back from the defense table, and is looking around]
AUSA Slavik: Paying for silence is influencing testimony. In their opening the defense suggested it was just about bad publicity.

AUSA Slavik: Police involvement would hurt him. The 2 are connected. The next racketeering predicate is s***trafficking.

Defendant's inner circle assisted, whether they wanted to or not. Threats, d****, lies and illegal violence to make them have s***with escorts

AUSA Slavik: This is not an attempt to criminalize dysfunctional relationships or personal sexual behavior.

They did not want to have s***with strangers while the defendant masturbated. They were covered in oil and sore, over and over again

AUSA Slavik: We are not asking you to find that every hotel night or freak off was s***trafficking, or even the majority.

You only need to find the elements were met one time. One freak off. That's it. He's guilty. But it was way more than once.

AUSA Slavik: Let's start with Jane. Turn off the public screens.
[Combs still in his chair passed back from defense table, at which Xavier Donaldson and Alexandra Shapiro have their chins in their hands]
AUSA Slavik: Consider the sobriety party, & in Jane's house

AUSA Slavik: Let's start with the love bombing stage. Jane was head over heels. They traveled to the Caribbean. Doctor Hughes talked about this - she never met with any witness, but it was like she knew them. Love bombing is a tactic. He was grooming her

AUSA Slavik: Jane was excited by that first experience. She didn't realize she had opened Pandora's box. It became 90% of their relationship. For a while, she went along. Then she told him she wanted it to stop. There are texts about this
[Shown with screen off]

AUSA Slavik: Jane wrote, I wanted to do things outside these rooms, to travel with you. The defendant ignored Jane's discomfort. Those hotel night were not about what Jane wanted. They were about what the defendant wanted to see. He decided how long

AUSA Slavik: Jane said, if she was going to have s***with strange men, she should chose which. The defendant made her ask them for nude photos - these were not for her. When she asked to use condoms, the defendant was not happy. He was dismissive and condescending

AUSA Slavik: She would try to have it go faster; he'd order her to slow down. It was about what he wanted. He dangled carrots. He gave her gifts and money. He lied to her repeatedly. She asked, When are we doing a get-away? He said they'd go on a yacht, but didn't

AUSA Slavik: Here's what Jane wrote in her Notes app, I don't want to have you use me to fulfill your freaky wild desires in hotel rooms. He used his payment of her rent as leverage. The carrot turned into a stick. She wrote, the threats and inuendo are non-stop

AUSA Slavik: He paid for her veneers because he didn't like her teeth - then said, look at the roof over her head and your pretty mouth and teeth. He wanted the All-Star party, s***with three men. She sent him a photo of her period blood.

AUSA Slavik: He sent this this voice note
[Sean Combs' voice: I'm about to really disappear on you. I don't have no time for this baby girl, you got me on my job, you got to get on your job]
AUSA: The message couldn't be clearer. Not going to take No for an answer

[AUSA Slavik is looking down and reading her closing statement from a binder on the lectern]
AUSA Slavik: After reading Cassie's lawsuit, Jane writes to the defendant, I feel like I'm reading my own sexual trauma. 2 of my birthdays you forced me

AUSA Slavik: Jane wrote, You gaslit me, it was sexual exploitation you framed as love for your sick fetishes. The defendant called her and tried to trick her into saying it was all consented to. He fed her a false narrative. Listen to this clip- he talked over her

AUSA Slavik: Doctor Hughes told you how a victim is trauma-bonded to her abuser. Jane often felt the defendant didn't listen to the truth. She said, Sean would say just to move on. He told her to charge him, that lawyers would be involved, to buy her silence

AUSA Slavik: So she asked for $100,000 a year for her to move on. She thought it was reasonable, far less than Cassie. The defendant went ballistic. She refused to adopt her false narrative. You can read the text message

AUSA Slavik: Jane wrote that the defendant was going to show her s***tapes to the father of her child. Then he reached out and told her to come see him in Miami. She makes it clear he doesn't want a hotel night. He says, OK. Despite his promise he called an escort

AUSA Slavik: Here are more threats about the rent. Jane writes, I hate worrying about the rent. This is in 2024. It all culminated in June 2024. He assaulted her and forced her to perform oral s***on an escort. This is s***trafficking.

AUSA Slavik: It was interstate, and the Astroglide crossed state lines. The defendant knew or recklessly disregarded that force, threats of force, coercion or fraud were used. Consenting once doesn't mean she consented every time. One time is enough.

AUSA Slavik: In 2023 he made Jane feel she'd have a proper NYC weekend - but invited escorts. Jane sent him another message: It's dark and sleazy, in fear of losing my home. His response? Girl, stop. Then he Facetimed her and told her about stopping and dinner

AUSA Slavik: He lied. Look
[public screen is still off, for summary chart]
AUSA: He is also texting Paul Arthur, as escort. Look at these messages. He is setting up a hotel night. When she is in the air, he tells her he has a surprise for her. She did not want it
