Cassie Diddy Sentencing Letter Reveals Trauma
Casandra ‘Cassie’ Ventura submitted a powerful letter to the judge ahead of Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ sentencing on Friday, outlining her continued trauma and fear.
In the document, a key component of the prosecution’s push for an over 11-year prison term, Ventura states that she still suffers from daily nightmares and flashbacks due to his “decade of abuse.” She added that her fear of “swift retribution” if Combs is released is so great that she has moved her family out of the New York area to maintain privacy. The letter strongly refuted Combs’ claims of being a “changed man,” calling them “disgusting” and untruthful.
Federal prosecutors filed their sentencing recommendation Tuesday, urging Judge Arun Subramanian to impose more than 11 years in prison. Combs was convicted in July 2025 on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution but acquitted of racketeering and sex trafficking charges. The Cassie Diddy Sentencing hearing is scheduled for Friday, October 4, 2025.
Ventura’s testimony during the May 2025 trial proved crucial to the prosecution’s case, as she detailed the violent pattern of abuse throughout their decade-long relationship. Her courage in coming forward has inspired other survivors to speak out against powerful abusers.
The Cassie Diddy Sentencing outcome will set an important precedent for accountability in cases involving domestic violence and coercion by influential figures. Advocates nationwide are watching closely to see whether justice will adequately protect survivors who risk everything to come forward.
