Diddy doesn’t stand a chance in sex-trafficking case because of this ‘treasure trove’ of evidence
The stunning sex-trafficking case against Sean “Diddy” Combs could be even stronger than the one against Nxivm sex cult leader Keith Raniere, who’s now serving more than a century behind bars, legal experts told The Post.
That’s because federal prosecutors have a “treasure trove” of evidence against the disgraced rap mogul — namely, videos of the alleged “freak offs” showing his drugged-out victims having sex with male prostitutes as part of days-long sessions, the experts said.
“I think [the Combs case] would actually make a stronger case particularly because [prosecutors] talk about a lot of videos,” said Anthony Capozzolo, a former federal prosecutor.
Video evidence of the alleged “freak offs” — recordings that they say were used as collateral against Combs’ victims — is frequently mentioned in federal court papers made public this week against Combs.
“The irony is [the recordings are] now a treasure trove of evidence that is going to be used against him,” said Los Angeles-based defense attorney Neama Rahmani.
Rahmani — also a former federal prosecutor — said he believes “there is a lot of video evidence in this case and it’s great because witnesses can lie but a video never lies.”
“The victim testimony is corroborated by the video and it’s just so powerful,” Rahmani added.
Combs is represented by Marc Agnifilo, the same attorney who also represented Raniere in his case accusing him of luring young women to his upstate New York cult Nxivm to turn into sex slaves.
