Federal prosecutors are alarmed by Sean "Diddy" Combs' demand for unrestricted access to the controversial "Freak Off" tapes, accusing him of attempting to humiliate his alleged victim, likely his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura. The government insists that the sexually explicit videos should remain protected to prevent further harm and intimidation. Diddy's push for access is viewed as part of a pattern of exerting control over victims through explicit material. Prosecutors caution against the dangers of misuse if the tapes are handed over without restrictions. Despite having viewed the tapes under supervision, Diddy's insistence on electronic production raises concerns about security and privacy. The court has denied Diddy copies of the tapes, offering only supervised inspection. Victim-1 opposes any modification of the protective order, fearing leaks or intimidation tactics. Prosecutors argue that releasing the tapes would be reckless given Diddy's history of using explicit material for control. Diddy's trial is scheduled for May 2025, and he remains in detention.
