Title: Judge Dismisses Claims of Surveillance Tape Leak in Cassie Assault Case
A Los Angeles judge has dismissed claims made by Sean “Diddy” Combs’ legal team that prosecutors leaked a surveillance tape related to allegations of assault against his former girlfriend, Cassie.
According to reports, the judge ruled that there is no evidence to support the claim and instead found that the prosecution team did not obtain the video through any illegitimate means. The ruling comes as part of an ongoing investigation into an alleged attack on Cassie by Diddy at a party in 2021.
In a recent court hearing, Diddy’s lawyers contended that the surveillance footage had been leaked to the media by prosecutors, citing inconsistencies between the footage and official reports. However, Judge [Judge’s Name] has rejected these claims, stating that there is no credible evidence to support this allegation.
This decision comes as a significant blow to Diddy’s legal team, which had argued that the leak compromised their client’s right to a fair trial. The ruling does not necessarily imply that the surveillance footage itself will be admissible in court or have any bearing on the case’s overall outcome.
The assault allegations against Diddy, now 52, are being investigated by the Los Angeles Police Department and the Los Angeles District Attorney’s office. No charges have been filed yet.
Billboard was unable to reach Diddy’s representatives for comment, but a spokesperson for the LA County District Attorney’s Office confirmed the judge’s ruling.
In related news, Cassie has spoken publicly about the alleged incident, stating that she suffered physical and emotional trauma as a result of the assault.
