What do we understand regarding ‘Gina,’ affirmed sufferer 3 in Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs charge?

Yet jurors never ever learnt through somebody that district attorneys called a “primary personality” in the allegations that can land Combs behind bars for the remainder of his life if he’s founded guilty.

With 6 weeks of testament, district attorneys looked for to verify that Combs depend on a supposed criminal company to utilize “pressure, dangers of pressure, and threat” to push 3 ladies right into undesirable sex. Jurors, nevertheless, have actually just learnt through 2 of those affirmed sufferers.

The 3rd– recognized just as “Gina”– really did not take the stand, regardless of being pointed out greater than 120 times because testament started on May 12.

” Gina, though she will certainly not be affirming, is a major personality in this test,” district attorney Christy Slavik informed the court in June.

Combs is billed with sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy theory and transport to take part in hooking and has actually begged innocent. His lawyers have actually stated he’s a “facility” guy with a background of substance abuse and physical violence yet isn’t the criminal affirmed in a government charge.

Gina was pointed out plainly in the testament of both various other affirmed sufferers in case: Combs’ ex-girlfriend, that showed up under the pseudonym “Jane,” and the vocalist Cassie Ventura, a long time buddy of Combs’. Jane informed jurors that Combs investing significant time with Gina while they were with each other provided stress in their connection, and Ventura defined Gina as “the primary trouble” in her connection with Combs.

District attorneys have actually suggested Gina was a sufferer of the very same sort of physical violence and marathon orgies as both Ventura and Jane. Defense attorney, nevertheless, have actually tried to profit from Gina’s lack at the test, utilizing her to strengthen their persistence that Combs’ fits of craze came from charming envy and not a wish to push ladies right into sex with male woman of the streets to please his voyeuristic advises.

” This envy is something that afflicted their connection, also the day of the Global video clip in the lift financial institution,” Combs lawyer Teny Geragos informed jurors in her opening declaration.

Comparable to Ventura and Jane, Gina was supposedly persuaded right into taking part in days-long sex events called “freak-offs” or “resort evenings,” district attorneys claim.

” We understand that there was physical violence versus Gina and we understand that Gina remained in a lasting connection with (Combs), that I believe most witnesses have actually indicated was very harmful,” district attorney Slavik informed the court.

According to lead district attorney Maureen Comey, Combs started dating Gina in 2014 and their connection ended up being a routine factor of rubbing with Ventura.

Defense lawyer Marc Agnifilo suggested in court that Gina is, actually, not a sufferer of Combs’ which district attorneys have actually purposely made a decision versus calling her since her testament can harm their instance.

While district attorneys recognized they would not be calling Gina– and have actually just made a couple of points out of her in their instance– they suggested she’s still appropriate since she was gone over throughout witness testament and in the grand court’s charge of Combs.

” Gina is significantly a component of this instance. We have actually listened to a lot of testament on Gina. She is absolutely appropriate. The court has actually listened to plenty regarding Gina. As a matter of fact, the protection has actually made her a main concern in the connection in between the offender and Ms. Ventura,” district attorney Slavik informed the court.
