New York - A Homeland Security agent took the stand Tuesday in Sean “Diddy” Combs’ federal sex trafficking trial, offering new details about the March 2024 raid on the rapper’s Miami mansion.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWVt-UBBWoA&ab_channel=WPLGLocal10told jurors that agents used an armored vehicle to breach the gates of Combs’ Star Island estate and had tactical teams staged nearby on boats.
Inside the mansion, investigators allegedly discovered several firearms, including two AR-15-style rifles.
Some of the weapons, Gannon testified, had their serial numbers scratched off, making them harder to trace.
Alongside the guns, federal agents reportedly recovered sex-related items that prosecutors claim were used during alleged sex parties.
These included high-heeled platform shoes, lingerie, sex toys, baby oil, lubricant, and condoms.
The explosive testimony came during the second week of Combs’ ongoing trial in New York.
The 55-year-old music mogul has pleaded not guilty to charges including sex trafficking and racketeering.
If convicted, he faces a mandatory minimum sentence of 15 years in prison.
Earlier in the day, Combs’ former personal assistant David James testified about his time working for the rapper between 2007 and 2009.
James claimed he left the job after allegedly being forced to drive Combs while the artist sat in the back seat holding three handguns.
He also described routinely preparing hotel rooms for Combs, who often used the alias “Frank Black.”
Combs has denied all allegations.
The trial is expected to continue for several more weeks.
