Casandra “Cassie” Ventura is testifying against Sean “Diddy” Combs. A motion was filed Friday (April 4), in which prosecutors said “Victim-1″ would not be testifying anonymously during the upcoming trial amid charges of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution. It has since been confirmed by People that Cassie is Victim-1 and that she will be testifying in the trial by her own name, and not anonymously.
