AUSA Slavik: There were times he knew she didn't want to do it. That is s***trafficking. She obviously didn't want to have an escort urinate in her mouth while she lay on the floor. Let's talk about the videos. You've seen clips. You don't see weapons
AUSA Slavik: You see her having sex, masturbating. The defendant is moving the camera around, at times focuses on the escort, not Cassie at all. It's clear this was about his fantasy, not Cassie's. March 5, 2016 in the Inter-Continental Hotel, the video
AUSA Slavik: Before the Inter-Continental Hotel, Cassie had a premiere - it was a big night for her. She agreed to a freak-off as damage control. Look at this, She says I don't want you thinking I don't want to. She knows the defendant won't taken No for an answer
AUSA Slavik: The defendant gets Jules to come. You know what happens - an argument, the defendant hits Cassie in the face. All she can think about is her premiere. She takes off without her shoes.
[Inter-Continental video shown]
AUSA: He throws her to the ground
AUSA Slavik: He kicks her then drags her back to the room where Jules is waiting. Why is the dragging relevant? Because Jules is there. Freak offs have multiple sessions. They were between sessions. He leaves her, but he takes her bags. But she doesn't follow him
AUSA Slavik: Instead Cassie is using the phone in the elevator lobby.... The defendant is making another conscious decision, to take the bags into the room then come back for Cassie with his hands free. He grabs her phone - then makes the decision to stay
AUSA Slavik: He stays even though he is in a towel and looks ridiculous. After Florez arrives, he stalls in the hall. He knows Jules is still on the room, possibly naked. The defense claims he took back d**** that day. But you can see, he is in control.
AUSA Slavik: Cassie just wanted to get her bag and phone and leave. The defendant offered Florez money. This is a photo of Jane in the car back to her house, with sunglasses her black eye. He was using force to get Cassie to continue with the freak off
AUSA Slavik: The defense may tell you the violence was not connected to the sex. But it was an attempt to get Cassie to continue with the freak off. Later she wrote to him, I'm not a rag doll. I'm someone's child. There were freak offs in NY with Daniel Phillip
AUSA Slavik: Daniel Phillip was not paid for his time - this is a ridiculous argument.
In one freak off, between session the defendant told Cassie to come in the bedroom. She kept using the computer. The defendant threw a bottle, dragged her, then slapped her
AUSA Slavik: Daniel Phillip heard Combs yell, B*tch when I tell you to come here, you come here. After that Daniel Phillip could not perform. But a completed act is not required for s***trafficking. This is s***trafficking. Cannes, they were at the film festival
AUSA Slavik: The defendant accused Cassie of stealing his d****. He threw her off the boat they were staying on. Mia heard an audio of this, recognized the voices. They flew back to NY. She traded seats to get away, but he followed and showed her freak-off videos
AUSA Slavik: He threatened to release the s***tapes. When they got to New York they had a freak off. This is another example of clear cut coercion. He threw her off a boat without her passport. He wanted Cassie to be afraid to say No to him
AUSA Slavik: Cassie said, I didn't know what No would mean, what No would turn into. He could be violent. The defense said Cassie made a choice every day to stay with him. Step back. Imagine yourself as Cassie. This was the force. This was the leverage
AUSA Slavik: There were the d**** - dissociative and numbing. She needed that buffer. Yes, some of the messages are explicit. That doesn't mean she wanted to have s***with escort at freak offs. In 2009, he wrote, You're supposed to be seducing me all day
AUSA Slavik: Cassie told the defendant she didn't want to do freak offs. Take her birthday party. Deonte told you about. He demanded she freak off and she did. What choice did Cassie have in the end? She did not have the freedom to make voluntary adult choices
AUSA Slavik: Let's go back to Count 1 for a minute. While it was the defendant in the freak offs - but he had help. From KK, D Roc, Faheem. They knew it was wrong. How did they facilitate? KK got strange men access to rooms the defendant & Cassie shared
AUSA Slavik: KK got Clayton Howard - Dave - access to the room. Jonathan Perez found the video of Cassie having s***with an escort. He showed it to KK - she knew. Faheem saw it too. Faheem got d**** to the defendant even during the freak offs, between sessions
AUSA Slavik: On February 18, 2024 - after Jane told KK - KK still sent stuff for Wild King Nights. D Roc iced Cassie's black eyes. It would be absurd to think D Roc didn't know what they were doing. Of course he knew. I expect the defense will say they didn't know
AUSA Slavik: David James saw a stranger... Deonte Nash saw one. Jonathan Perez saw video of Jane having s***with another man while the defendant watched. Inter-state travel for prostitution? The defendant paid escorts. He caused the travel. He sometimes booked it
AUSA Slavik: The transportation counts do not require force, fraud or coercion. Even if all consented - we know that's not true - it still a crime. It's just knowing transportation with the intent the individual engage in prostitution
arson and all those other charges are still on there actually
prosecution just simplified everything for the jury
So basically they just streamlined it all into one charge?
AUSA Slavik: You only need to find that someone would commit two acts in any of these categories. It could be two acts of d*** distribution, one kidnapping, just two. You have far more than two. Let's start with d****, an essential ingredient of freak offs
It seems like such a layup
AUSA Slavik: The transportation counts do not require force, fraud or coercion. Even if all consented - we know that's not true - it still a crime. It's just knowing transportation with the intent the individual engage in prostitution
AUSA Slavik: For Count 3, freak offs involving Cassie - the escorts' travel was often booked by travel agents. She remembered Dave, Clayton Howard - he would travel from NY to Miami or LA. Another escort traveled to Ibiza. GX 1402.
