In Document 361, filed on May 27, 2025, federal prosecutors strongly opposed a request by news organizations to unseal sexually explicit video and photographic exhibits introduced in the criminal trial of Sean “Diddy” Combs. The government argued that public disclosure of this material would inflict serious harm on the alleged victims—identified in court as Cassie Ventura and Jane Doe—both of whom were reportedly recorded without their consent during acts they claim were coerced. The government emphasized that these recordings were allegedly used by Combs as tools of blackmail and psychological control, and that releasing them—even to a limited audience—would risk retraumatizing the victims and effectively extend the abuse they endured.

The filing further underscored that public access to these exhibits is neither necessary nor appropriate given the sensitive nature of the evidence. Prosecutors asserted that permitting open access would violate the victims’ right to privacy and could chill future victims of sexual abuse from coming forward. They reassured the court that transparency would still be preserved through live testimony and verbal descriptions of the exhibits in open court, ensuring the public remains informed without compromising the victims’ dignity or safety. Sealing the exhibits, they argued, is a narrowly tailored and essential measure to balance the public interest with the need to protect vulnerable individuals participating in the judicial process.
