Sean Combs: "You were welcome to leave, right?"

Defense attorney Teny Geragos pushed "Jane," who's testifying under a pseudonym, on her repeated choice to stay with Combs despite sexual performances that she says she was coerced to join. But "Jane" said Combs didn't make it easy for her to leave him. "He would offer a breakup," she said on the stand. "And then a week later he would be persistent, blow up my phone. Have other people blow up my phone. Be looking for me. Wanting to see me. And he'd be right back in my face."

It would take a combination of new technology, old-fashioned detective work and a father's determination to get closer to solving the case. Keith and Andrea talk about polygraphs, Greek philosophy and what led investigators to their suspect, Sandra's estranged husband, Darren. Plus, they play an exclusive clip from his sentencing and discuss their experiences traveling to the island of Kauai.

Sean Combs: Defense begins its cross-examination of "Jane."

The second witness using a pseudonym said on the stand that she "currently" loves Combs, even after telling her story of a brutal beating at his hands just one year ago. She then testified that she only participated in what she calls "hotel nights" because she didn't want Combs to feel judged for his sexual desires. And after her sexual performances were complete, she pampered him, including giving him foot rubs and turning on his favorite TV show.

Sean Combs: "Jane" sobs through her testimony.

Sean Combs: "Jane" sobs through her testimony.

A second anonymous witness testified that Combs pushed her to perform with a succession of commercial sex workers. In one text message she sent to him she wrote, "I don't want to play this role in your life anymore. It's dark, sleazy, and makes me feel disgusted with myself. I feel it's the only reason you have me around and why you pay for the house. I don't want to feel obligated to perform these nights with you in fear of losing the roof over my head." She sent that text in September of 2023 but testified that she participated in "hotel nights" with Combs through the summer of 2024.
