Sean Combs sex trafficking trial updates: Cassie's testimony ends after days of describing abuse

The jury is seeing messages and hearing testimony about the prolonged breakup of Sean Combs and Cassie Ventura in late 2018, which the defense appears to be using to try and raise further doubt about her rape allegation.

"You don't say anything to the effect of, 'the last time we saw each other you raped me,'" Estevao noted about Ventura's communications with Combs.

According to Ventura's testimony, the last she and Combs had sex was Sept. 27, 2018, when Ventura testified she received a FaceTime call from her now-husband Alex Fine.

"Did you answer that call?" defense attorney Anna Estevao asked. "No," Ventura responded.

"Was it in the middle of sexual intercourse that you received this call?" Estevao asked. "We were together. I don't know," Ventura responded.

"Your husband learned about your evening with Mr. Combs, right?" Estevao asked. "You told your now-husband that Mr. Combs raped you."

"That wasn't the evening I was raped," Ventura testified. When Fine eventually found out about the alleged rape, Ventura testified that he punched a wall.

Earlier, the defense showed Ventura transcripts of her interviews with law enforcement agents, pointing out that she told them that the night of the alleged rape Combs was acting "nice but strangely." The defense also tried to point out how Ventura wondered whether the alleged attack occurred because of Combs potentially having bipolar disorder, the first time such a condition was mentioned at trial.

Combs discussed his mental health struggles in a 2009 Playboy Magazine article.

"I think therapy is good. I've been called bipolar - I'm not; I just have very drastic mood swings," he said in the interview.

The jurors are in a lunch break.

The defense introduced scores of text messages during the cross-examination that contain a mix of affection, sexually-charged banter, domestic negotiation and bickering.

The defense has attempted to demonstrate that those messages show Ventura's agency in a relationship that she described on direct examination as colored by Sean Combs' alleged control, threats and beatings.

In one exchange the defense pointed to, Ventura texted, "Freak off w/a girl" and Combs responded, "What makes you wanna do that"

Defense attorney Anna Estevao asked, "You were suggesting a freak off with a girl?"

Ventura responded flatly, "That's what it says."

"That's what you were suggesting at the time?" Estevao followed up. "That's what I was suggesting," Ventura replied.

Estevao said the exchange followed an earlier conversation between Ventura and Combs about getting their relationship "to a good place."

The defense also appeared to question Ventura's recollection of when an alleged rape occurred, suggesting she switched the date from September 2018 to August 2018.

Around that time, Ventura received a message from Combs saying, "I know I look bad to you. I could tell I didn't turn you on yesterday. I fell off. I'm about to get my s--- together."

Ventura had previously testified on Wednesday that Combs allegedly raped her in her living in room in 2018. Combs and Ventura broke up the same year.

Estevao asked Cassie if she still had feelings for Combs after he allegedly raped her in August 2018.

"You didn't hate him then. And you don't still hate him now," Estevao said.

"I don't hate him," Cassie responded.

"You still have love for him?"

"I have love for the past, what it was."

Cassie testified that she broke up with Combs for good in August 2018 after she saw a photo of him with another woman he'd been dating for the last few years of their decade-long relationship.

"I just don't trust anymore. That last shot put the nail in the coffin," Casse texted Combs, referring to the photo of Combs with a woman identified in court as Gina.

"I promised myself I wouldn't be with you anymore if you did that to me again," Cassie wrote, telling Combs "you lied to me" and "she never went away."

Soon after, Cassie said, she started dating her now husband, Alex Fine.
