Casandra Ventura testified in federal court about her 2023 lawsuit against Mr. Combs, whom she had accused of years of physical abuse and sexual coercion.
Casandra Ventura said the mogul pleaded with her in text messages and followed her to her apartment after striking and dragging her in the hallway of a Los Angeles hotel.
Casandra Ventura, the mogul’s former girlfriend, has described them as marathon sexual encounters that he directed, involving drugs and hired male prostitutes.
