Cassie Fine wrote a letter to the judge who presided over Sean “Diddy” Combs‘ racketeering trial.
In her letter, Fine said Combs has not shown remorse for the abuse he inflicted on her.
Fine was one of the government’s star witnesses in the human trafficking case against him earlier this year.
However, a jury acquitted Combs of human trafficking and racketeering and convicted him on 2 counts of the Mann Act, both misdemeanors.
The R&B singer was in a relationship with Combs for over a decade. The jury believed she was at least partially responsible for booking male escorts.
But Cassie disagreed. She called Combs a “manipulator,” “aggressor,” “abuser,” and “trafficker” in her letter. She said she experienced “nightmares and flashbacks” of her abuse “on a regular, everyday basis.”
“Combs used violence, threats, substances, and control over my career to trap me in over a decade of abuse,” she wrote.
“He controlled every part of my livelihood and threatened to destroy my reputation by leaking sex tapes, a threat he repeated often. His power over me eroded my independence and sense of self until I felt I had no choice but to submit,” she continued.
Fine’s mother also wrote an emotional letter to the judge asking for a long sentence for Combs.
He will be sentenced on Friday, Oct. 3, and faces a maximum of 11 years in prison. Combs has been held in a Brooklyn jail for 13 months.
