“Jane,” the third woman accusing Sean “Diddy” Combs of sexual misconduct during his federal court sex-trafficking trial, resumes her testimony on June 9. In her prior testimony, Jane often spoke through tears. Jane has told jurors that Diddy lured her into a world of sexual encounters with male escorts under the false pretense of a romantic relationship. After Diddy wooed Jane with deeply intimate one-on-one attention for several months, she agreed to go along with Diddy’s pitch that she have sex with another man in front of him. This didn’t wind up being a one-off event, as Jane had thought. “I felt that that night just opened, like, a Pandora’s box in our relationship. It just completely set the tone for our relationship going forward,” Jane said on June 5. Diddy would soon want these encounters, which they called “hotel nights,” all the time — and he plied Jane with ecstasy so she could perform in days-long sexual events, she previously told jurors. “He would be like, ‘You’re not getting tired on me, are you? Let’s finish strong, hard. Let’s end on a high note,’” Jane recalled during her testimony on June 6.
Her testimony enters its third day.
