The third week of testimony in the Sean Combs sex trafficking trial will begin today with testimony that the prosecution will present to try to help support the alleged kidnapping and arson elements of the racketeering conspiracy to which Combs has pleaded not guilty.

Federal prosecutors have said Combs’ former assistant, Capricorn Clark, was twice held against her will, including when she was allegedly forced from her apartment and into a car to take Combs and one of his bodyguards to the home of Scott Mescudi, the rapper better known as Kid Cudi.

Mescudi testified last week that Clark called him from a car to say that Combs was in his house. Nothing was taken, Mescudi told the court, though he said he found that Christmas presents were unwrapped and his dog was locked in a bathroom.

Combs allegedly forced Clark to take a lie detector test to prove she was not part of a robbery, according to the testimony last week of another former Combs personal assistant, David James.

Mescudi testified last week about alleged arson, which is another element of the alleged RICO conspiracy with which Combs is charged. Mescudi testified that he suspected Combs played a role in his car being set on fire with a Molotov cocktail.

Los Angeles Fire Department arson investigator Lance Jimenez is expected to testify today about what he found when responded to the scene of the car fire.

Combs is seated at the defense table in dark-colored pants and crew neck sweater. He embraced defense attorney Brian Steel upon entry into the courtroom and then greeted his other lawyers with hugs and smiles.

The third week of the trial of Sean "Diddy" Combs will resume in New York City on Tuesday, with witness testimony set to continue.

When court resumes on Tuesday, federal prosecutors plan to call Combs' former assistant Capricorn Clark and representatives from Los Angeles fire and police departments.

Across two weeks of testimony in Combs' sex-trafficking and racketeering trial, federal prosecutors called 16 witnesses, attempting to prove the rap mogul embraced violence and threats to coerce women into sex and protect his music empire.

Among those who have already taken the stand are musician and Combs' ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura, her mother Regina, Combs' former personal assistants David James and George Kaplan, plus rapper Kid Cudi whose legal name is Scott Mescudi.

Combs has pleaded not guilty and denies sexually assaulting or trafficking anyone. Combs' lawyers have argued that the rap mogul's domestic violence was driven by jealousy and drug addiction, and that his voyeuristic sexual activities, while not mainstream, are his private business and do not amount to sex trafficking.

Testimony concluded for the week with an agent from Homeland Security Investigations who conducted data extraction from three laptop computers that belonged to Cassie Ventura.

One of the laptops allegedly included a user profile for Frank Black, an alias used by Sean Combs.

Court is now adjourned until Tuesday.

“Do not talk to anyone about the case,” Judge Arun Subramanian instructed the juror before dismissing them, telling them instead to “watch the Knicks avenge their Game One loss.”

Subramanian also told the jury that the trial is “right on schedule.”

When court resumes on Tuesday, federal prosecutors said they plan to call Combs’ former assistant, Capricorn Clark, as well as representatives from the Los Angeles Police Department and Los Angeles Fire Department.

“I think we are right on time,” prosecutor Maureen Comey said of the pace of testimony, telling the jury the government’s case would take about six weeks total to present. “I would think that we should be able to wrap this up before the Fourth of July,” Comey said.

The defense asked Judge Subramanian to allow Combs to have additional access to videoconferencing from jail. Subramanian said he has had no luck with the Bureau of Prisons. Prosecutors said they would call and ask on the judge’s behalf.

Absent videoconferencing time, the defense sought additional phone time, saying Combs is “out of minutes.”
