Today, the jurors in Diddy’s trial heard more emotionally wrenching testimony from a woman identified only by the pseudonym “Jane.” She’s one of Diddy’s ex-girlfriends — and one of four alleged victims at the center of the U.S. government’s racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking case against the music mogul.

Jane told jurors that Diddy forced her to participate in “hotel nights” — sexual encounters with male escorts that made her feel debased. “You treat me like an animal,” Jane said she told him in 2023. She described violent abuse, saying he once put her in a chokehold and punched her in the head. He then forced her to take drugs and perform oral sex on an escort, she told jurors.

Jane’s testimony is part of prosecutors’ effort to show that Diddy orchestrated a sprawling criminal enterprise to “fulfill his sexual desires.” He has denied all the charges.
