A male escort spoke in the ongoing Diddy trial and gave his recollection of alleged meets with the producer and his then girlfriend Cassie.
Sean 'Diddy' Combs’ trial is well underway and the court has already heard extensively from his former partner Cassandra Ventura, known as Cassie, about his alleged actions while they were together.
Cassie spoke about the nature of her relationship with Diddy and went into great detail about what allegedly took place during his notorious ‘freak off’ parties.

Prosecutors believe it is during these parties that illegal actions took place.
Diddy was arrested last September while he was in New York and faces a whole host of charges, including racketeering and sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion.
Diddy has denied all of the charges against him.

A male escort, who was known as The Punisher, real name is Sharay Hayes, spoke to the courtroom on May 20 and detailed his alleged experience interacting with both Diddy and Cassie.
He said that he was initially booked by Cassie who gave the name ‘Janet’ back in 2012 and told him he was wanted as a dancer for an event with friends.
However, when he arrived, he was informed that this was not what he would be doing.
Hayes said there were no other guests when he arrived and added: “She explained to me that she didn't want me to actually dance.

“She explained to me that her and her husband liked to create a sexy scene that consisted of me and her mutually applying baby oil, applying it to ourselves and to possibly each other, and try to create a sexy environment that her husband would eventually come out to watch."
Hayes claimed that he was hired between eight and twelve times for additional freak offs, with the last one happening March of 2015.
The escort also explained what Diddy’s role was during these meetings with Cassie.

He said: “[Diddy] would at some point come into the room, sit in the distance, gave subtle directions to Ms. Ventura based on...angles, lighting, positionings, and sometimes the sexual activity.”
Hayes was also asked about Cassie’s demeanor during these visits and how he perceived her feelings of being watched by Diddy.
He alleged that Diddy would give Cassie instructions while she had sex with him, and noted that he would see 'a sigh' or 'a wince' from her towards these directions at times.”
He commented that he was experienced as an exotic dancer and escort and 'did not get any cues that there was a discomfort with what was going on', when it came to Cassie.

He added: “It seemed like it was consensual as far as I was concerned.”
