Hey, I'm Marjorie Hernandez, DailyMail.com's West Coast news editor, and welcome to episode 34 of The Trial of Diddy. At the time of this recording, jury selection starts in just 12 days. It's hard to imagine what's happening on both sides of this case right now. So it's a special episode today as we're devoting the show to someone who will know all about it. Rochelle Keen is a former special victims prosecutor and founder of Collective Liberty, an organization dedicated to eradicating sex trafficking. Rochelle has an amazing resume. Her work has led to the arrest of over 1,000 human traffickers and the training of over 3,000 investigators.

Who is Rochelle Keyhan and what does she do?

Marjorie Hernandez 2:31
She's an expert in advocacy for vulnerable populations and gender-based violence issues, including domestic violence, sexual violence, and human trafficking. Rochelle has prosecuted 20 felony jury trials, more than 100 rape, human trafficking, and domestic violence felony bench trials, and over 10,000 domestic violence misdemeanor hearings. But before we speak to her, it's important to state, as we do every week, that Diddy has vehemently denied each and every allegation made in all recent lawsuits filed against him, and he's also denied all the federal charges to have been filed against him. Like everyone else in the legal system, he remains innocent until such time as he is proven guilty. And with that being said, here we are with Rochelle Keehan. Thank you so much for appearing on the pod, Rochelle.

Thanks for having me.
Marjorie Hernandez 3:24
Can you tell us a little bit more about your background and the collective liberty?
Rochelle Keyhan 3:29
Absolutely. So I was a prosecutor in Philadelphia for six years where I did domestic violence, sex assault, and human trafficking cases. I tried the first two trafficking trials in the state of Pennsylvania. So I learned through how tough all of that can be. And now I run Collective Liberty. We're a national anti-trafficking nonprofit organization that's really focused on identifying trafficking networks and evidence around them to support more prosecutions of traffickers in the U.S.,
Marjorie Hernandez 3:59
And it's definitely a problem worldwide. The good work that you're doing out there is just highlighting that. But in connection with the Diddy case, however, obviously he is facing trafficking charges as well in this federal case out in New York. Just to give our listeners a little update on the case itself. So Diddy appeared in court last Friday, April 18th. And there was a lot of pretrial motions that was discussed. I'm sure Rochelle can go over that with us. One of the things that happened is the judge did allow three alleged victims to testify under their pseudonyms and not their true legal names, but Cassie Ventura, who's Diddy's ex, plans to testify under her name.
