Sean 'Diddy' Combs' lawyers claim 'freak off' videos show 'fully consenting adults,' as they seek to amend a protective order in the case.
claims several videos at the center of his federal racketeering and sex trafficking indictment show “fully consenting adults” engaged in the sexual encounters known as “Freak Offs.” Combs’ attorneys claim the videos confirm his “innocence” and must be turned over to his defense for independent analysis.
“Any fair-minded viewer of the videos will quickly conclude that the prosecution of Mr. Combs is both sexist and puritanical,” the letter obtained byreads. “The videos depict clearly consensual sex among willing adults in a decades-long relationship and fundamentally undermine the government’s case and Victim-1’s claims.”
“Protective orders are common in criminal cases, and we have one in this case that prevents the defense from physically possessing certain evidence,” Combs’ lead defense attorney Marc Agnifilo explains to. “So, we applied to the Court to allow us to possess the video evidence so we can, for instance, enhance the audibility.”It was Ventura’s November 2023 lawsuit against Combs that sparked the criminal investigation behind his charges.
According to Combs and his team, the nine videos in question were handed over to prosecutors by Ventura. “These videos unambiguously show that the person alleged in the indictment to be ‘Victim-1’ not only consented but thoroughly enjoyed herself,” the letter from Combs’ lawyers reads. The attorneys say some of the videos are very dark and grainy with poor audio, so they need unfettered access to fully review them and possibly create trial exhibits, stills and transcripts.
