Week 5: ‘Jane’ testifies about nights spent with Diddy and male sex workers

Diddy’s former partner ‘Jane’ has finished her fifth and final day of testimony, saying she had no choice but to testify.

The former partner of Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs has finished her fifth and final day of testimony at his trial. ‘Jane’, who is using a pseudonym to protect her identity, was cross-examined by Diddy’s defence and asked more questions by the prosecution.

She testified about ‘hotel nights’, Diddy paying her rent and lavish birthday parties. Also telling the court that she would have given all the gifts back, if she didn’t have to have sex with men other than him.

Anoushka Mutanda-Dougherty speaks to ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ New York correspondent Nada Tawfik and criminal defence attorney Shaun Kent about the week in court.

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is on trial in New York, facing federal charges of sex trafficking, racketeering with conspiracy and transportation for prostitution. He denies all the charges.
