Cassie Ventura's lawyer: "This case proved that change is long overdue."
Cassie Ventura “paved the way” for a jury to find Sean “Diddy” Combs guilty on some of the counts against him, her lawyer Doug Wigdor said in a statement.
“This entire criminal process started when our client Cassie Ventura had the courage to file her civil complaint in November 2023. Although the jury did not find Combs guilty of sex trafficking Cassie beyond a reasonable doubt, she paved the way for a jury to find him guilty of transportation to engage in prostitution,” Wigdor said.
He continued: “By coming forward with her experience, Cassie has left an indelible mark on both the entertainment industry and the fight for justice.”
Wigdor said Ventura “exemplary courage throughout this trial,” and “brought attention to the realities of powerful men in our orbit and the misconduct that has persisted for decades without repercussion.”
“This case proved that change is long overdue, and we will continue to fight on behalf of survivors,” he said.
