Prosecutors initially refused to hand over the videos after Combs was charged and his lawyers only got to see their contents at the end of last year. Now, the contents of the videos has been kept secret because of Ventura's attorneys requesting that they not be released to protect her own privacy and But, which was a request that the government did agree to.

Now this has meant that these attorneys are only able to view them under law enforcement supervision. And now they're asking for fuller access.

What's striking is this letter states, quote, and fairly minded viewer of the videos will quickly conclude that the prosecution of Mr. Combs is both sexist and puritanical. It is sexist because the government's theory perpetuates stereotypes of female victimhood and lack of agency.

The prosecutors reflects a paternalistic view that the government is here to protect women who cannot be trusted to make their own decision about sex. and are not capable of consenting to sex that the prosecutors view as outside the norm, end quote. Now we'll be talking to David Gellman about this letter in this episode.

And I don't know about you, Kayla, but I'm very interested to know what he makes of this.

Now, Diddy is, of course, locked up in Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center in New York after his arrest back in September of 2024, and he's facing federal criminal charges in a sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy. Now, Diddy has pleaded not guilty to all the accusations, and both he and his legal team have repeatedly and strongly asserted his innocence.

Yes. This week, Diddy's attorneys had filed another motion asking the court to force the prosecution essentially to release Marjorie. I believe it's nine videotapes having to do with the allegations with victim number one, which we all know is Cassie. And they're saying that prosecution should turn over these videos of Diddy and Cassie because they need to review the videos in its entirety.

So at this point, David, prosecution would have to respond to this memo that was sent by Diddy's attorney. Is that correct?

Yeah, from my reading, there is a protection currently on them, but they want to amend that protection in order to allow Diddy to, I guess, have more access to all of the footage.
