    A special agent who raided US music mogul Sean 'Diddy' Combs' Miami mansion told the court the hip-hop mogul's sex-trafficking trial of drugs and weapons that were seized at the property. Last week, Combs' ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura testified that she endured abuse at the hands of Combs, including during so-called "freak-offs" - encounters in which the R&B singer had sex with male escorts while Combs directed them. Sean 'Diddy' Combs faces charges of racketeering, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution.

    During the trial in Manhattan, the jury saw pics of AR-15 rifle parts, bottles of baby oil and lube, 7-inch high heels and more, as the agent reveals details of the dramatic 2024 raid, reports The New York Post.

    Sean Diddy Combs' trial

    Combs, 55, is accused of using his fame, fortune and many businesses to run a racketeering scheme in which he controlled Cassie using violence and threats, forcing her and others into drug-fueled “freak-off” sex marathons. He faces life in prison if convicted.

    Jurors saw photos this morning from when the feds raided Sean "Diddy" Combs' Miami Beach mansion, showing guns, ammunition, stiletto heels, personal lubricant and sex toys. Dozens of images were shown to the jury Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday morning of what agents found when they searched the controversial music mogul's home on March 25, 2024.

    Two photos depicted sex toys, including several dildos were seen arranged on a shelf inside a cabinet. Other images showed gun parts, ammunition, and a handgun, the Post reported.

    One photo revealed components for AR-15 semi-automatic rifles discovered in the primary bedroom closet of the Bad Boy Records founder. Another displayed .45-caliber bullets for a .45-caliber firearm. The jury also viewed pictures of bottles of Astroglide personal lubricant, baby oil, women's black and red stiletto heels, and a lacy negligee.

    Earlier, the jury had been shown images of lubricant bottles seized during a raid on the hotel where Combs stayed in New York City while negotiating his surrender in September.

    The photos were presented as Special Agent Gerard Gannon testified about the search conducted by him and 80 to 90 agents at the rapper known for "I'll Be Missing You," targeting his Florida residence. His Los Angeles home was also raided the same day. Gannon, a Homeland Security Investigations agent, returned to the stand to continue direct examination.

    The rapper is also expected to testify regarding a brief relationship he had with Combs’ ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, whom he dated 14 years ago.
