‘Freak off’ sex tapes shown to jury members

Trial closed on Monday, with jury members being shown three clips of the “freak offs”, each between 20 and 30 seconds.

The videos were taken in October 2012, which would probably mean that they were filmed at parties organized by Combs’ ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura.

The often multi-day and night parties encouraged marathon sex sessions and general debauchery with paid male and female escorts.

Jury members attracted headphones when they stared at laptop screens to keep the videos private. Many of them could be written in their seats, holding their hands against their heads and looking with a general feeling of discomfort.

They were also shown SMS messages that Ventura was sent to male escorts to set up the “freak off” sex sessions.

“Casual, yes,” Ventura wrote in a message from 2012 to a male prostitute and advised him: “No oil. Thanks :)”

Bottles of baby oil, lubricant and other liquids were all confiscated by authorities during their raid in the house of Combs.
