Diddy’s attorney denies government claims

The Mogul’s legal team denied claims made by the government of a second victim amid his sex operation charge, as reported by TMZ based on the documents they obtained on Friday. The original indictment mentioned the unnamed victim who is believed to be his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura. Diddy was in a relationship with her from 2007 to 2018.

She was the first one to file a case against Didd, accusing him of rape and abuse through the years. However, that case was settled within a day in a settlement and its details are still a secret.

His attorneys further stated that the second victim's claims are not true and the woman is “not a victim at all”. In the legal documents, Diddy's lawyers argue that the rapper never tried to contact the second alleged victim, and they claim the government misled the court during his first bail hearing.

The lawyers also suggest that the first victim, referred to as "Victim 1," is likely Cassie, Diddy's ex. They say Diddy and Cassie had an 11-year relationship, and her allegations are part of the sex trafficking case.
