Jurors and the judge are back after the lunch break and special agent Joseph Cerciello has returned to the witness stand.

After spending the first part of the day giving direct testimony about messages sent to and from Sean "Diddy" Combs, he will now be cross-examined by defence lawyer Teny Geragos.

Jurors are now taking their break for lunch.

Today's session will resume at about 6.45pm UK time - we'll see you back here then.

The court now hears about more messages between Sean "Diddy" Combs and Jane, a former partner and alleged victim who testified earlier in the trial under a pseudonym.

The pair dated on and off from early 2021 until the rapper's arrest in September 2024.

"I dont want to be f and mistreated," Jane told him in one message. "I am not a porn star, I am not an animal."

She told Diddy she had been through three years of "having to f*** strangers". She said she was tired and added: "I do not want to do this."

In another message, she told him she was "mentally and physically drained" and that she did not want to have sex with strangers "to fulfil your fantasies".

This was around the time of the lawsuit filed against Diddy by Cassie Ventura in November 2023.

As special agent Joseph Cerciello continues his testimony, the court hears about messages exchanged between Sean "Diddy" Combs and his former chief of staff, Kristina Khorram.

In one text, Khorram asked Combs to call her and told him: "Next time you leave when you're randomly partying, you have to tell us."

She told Combs he couldn't take Ubers with guests because "that's when bad s*** happens", the court hears.

"I didn't want to hit you with this, it's not cool, if something happens it would not be good," Khorram added.

And in a voicemail heard in court, from November 2023,  Combs could be heard telling Khorram that he needed more baby oil.

"I can't believe I'm out," he said, and asked for 20 bottles.

Khorram assured him a fresh delivery would be left outside his door.

Cassie Ventura and Jane (not her real name), both former partners of Combs, testified about his desire to use lots of baby oil during "freak off" sex sessions with male escorts.

In another voicemail, Combs told Khorram he wanted someone to bring him his "Apple TV system", whole milk lattes, coconut water, seven bottles of baby oil, five bottles of (lubricant) Astroglide, and some vegetable soup from a high-end grocery store.

Combs wanted the order filled so "I don't have to call anybody" about it later, he said in the voicemail.

The court is now hearing about details of intravenous (IV) supplements taken by Sean "Diddy" Combs and his former girlfriend Jane - who testified under a pseudonym - as part of at least one "freak off" session.

Cassive Ventura also told the court she would take these with Diddy for recovery following drug-fuelled sex sessions.

In court now, jurors are given details of a group text which included Diddy and Jane and members of his team, in which an assistant included details of what was needed - sodium chloride, vitamin B12, B complex, zinc, calcium, amino acids, anti-inflammatory drug Toradol, magnesium, and antihistamine and sedative Benadryl.

Following a short break, jurors are now hearing of another message exchange between Sean "Diddy" Combs and the representative for Cowboys 4 Angels, an agency he used for male escorts.

The representative told him there had been a "mistake" with a payment and that they were short by $600.

"LOL, he couldn't even perform," Combs replied, the court is told.

The representative reminded the rapper that customers pay for "time and companionship".

Combs asked her to "talk nice" to him, saying he always talked nicely himself, and again told her he was a "long-time" customer - as he did in messages heard earlier (see previous post).

"Cost is the same whether you're AG百家乐在线官网 diving or dancing... you pay for his time," the Cowboys 4 Angels representative said.

Combs told her he thought she would want to know how he felt about the service.

"I apologise if my tone came across as anything but respectful... not trying to be smart with you," she replied.

"It's all good, all love鈥� sorry for any stress," Combs responded.

Jurors are still hearing about events from September 2023.

At this time, in a message to an escort agency he used frequently, Sean "Diddy" Combs asked for lower rates.

In a chat with a representative for Cowboys 4 Angels on 26 September 2023, the rapper wrote: "Stop raising my rate I am a long timer."

However, the agent told him it wasn't up to the firm but the worker himself. "The best guys have high rates," the court hears Combs was told.

He relented, saying it was "all good", and asked the sex worker to get to the Trump International Hotel & Tower New York for 1am.

The court now hears about a message from Jane, not her real name, who dated Sean "Diddy" Combs from 2021 to 2024 and gave testimony earlier in the trial.

According to the message heard in court, she was angry at the hip-hop mogul in September 2023 and said she refused to meet him in New York City.

"I am not coming to New York, I feel disrespected," the court hears she said. "It is clear you just want me there for a hotel binge."

She told Combs he had plenty of other women or sex workers he could contact.

"I don't want to be used and locked in a room to fulfil your fantasies," Jane added.

Combs, who is dressed in a white sweater and is wearing glasses today, appears to be reading something in his lap as messages are read out. 

Following more explicit clips, jurors are shown flight and hotel records for a sex worker mentioned throughout the trial.

His travel journeys appear to have been paid for by Sean "Diddy" Combs.

Prosecutors show the sex worker stayed at the Trump International Hotel & Tower in New York in September 2023 after arriving on a flight from Atlanta to Newark, New Jersey.

This was paid for on Combs's American Express card, the court hears.

In the same month, Combs appeared at the MTV Video Music Awards in New Jersey, where he was honoured with the "global icon" award.

He was also handed the key to New York city at a ceremony in Times Square.

Federal agents discovered 50 explicit video files in Sean "Diddy" Combs's possession that were created in just a few days, the court hears.

Special agent Joseph Cerciello says they were created from 17 to 21 December 2021, which is when the rapper was seeing alleged victim Jane.

The jury is shown two of these video files.

Diddy looks around the courtroom in Manhattan as the footage plays, rather than at the screen in front of him, which is showing the graphic material.
