Judge Dismisses Sean Combs Juror Over ‘Inconsistent’ Statements

Sean Combs' sex trafficking and racketeering trial resumed Monday with the judge excusing a juror who allegedly gave inconsistent statements.

The sixth week of Sean Combs ’ sex trafficking and racketeering trial started with a dramatic moment Monday when the judge dismissed a juror whose credibility was contested after he gave inconsistent statements about where he lives. He has acknowledged he kicked and dragged Casandra “Cassie” Ventura in the hallway of the InterContinental hotel in 2016, but he vehemently denies he coerced her or another ex-girlfriend into sex trafficking. Prosecutors say Combs relied on members of his inner-circle to fulfill his sexual desires through crimes including sex trafficking, physical assault, threats, forced labor, kidnapping, arson, bribery and obstruction of justice.
