were the commission of freak offs so

play02:20

with that in mind now we're going to get

play02:22

into these shocking details surrounding

play02:25

these freak offs and I guess we should

play02:27

start with saying what are freak offs

play02:29

right well let's go to the indictment it

play02:31

says quote comes and other members and

play02:33

Associates of the comes Enterprise

play02:34

wielded the power and Prestige of com's

play02:37

role at the com's business to intimidate

play02:39

threaten and lure female victims into

play02:42

a romantic relationship coms then used

play02:47

Force threats of force and coercion to

play02:50

cause victims to engage in extended sex

play02:52

acts with male commercial sex workers

play02:55

that comes referred to as among other

play02:57

things freak offs freak offs were

play03:00

elaborate and produced sex performances

play03:03

that comes arranged directed pleasured

play03:06

himself during and often electronically

play03:09

recorded now while this indictment came

play03:11

down I said at the time this may be a

play03:13

term that is foreign to any person that

play03:16

was not familiar with Shawn comes but

play03:18

for me who's been following this whole

play03:20

Saga for what a year now I have heard

play03:23

this term multiple times because in the

play03:27

Cassandra Ventura lawsuit com's ex-girl

play03:30

and Rodney little Rod Jones lawsuit this

play03:32

is com's former producer they discussed

play03:35

the freak offs in their again their

play03:38

sexual assault lawsuits now Ventura

play03:40

alleged among other things that Colmes

play03:42

would demand her participation in freak

play03:45

offs and that she would have to be

play03:47

forced to hire the male sex workers and

play03:49

that this could happen at any random

play03:51

moment Jones alleged among other things

play03:55

that com's son Justin comes and DJ and

play03:58

record producer Stevie Jay would engage

play04:01

in freak offs now to be clear those

play04:04

specific allegations those names those

play04:06

details were not mentioned as part of

play04:09

the criminal case I will tell you though

play04:12

that the idea of this freak off now that

play04:15

it is officially part of the criminal

play04:17

case now that it's mentioned multiple

play04:18

times this makes me wonder two things

play04:21

from a legal point of view number one it

play04:23

is such a wild concept and a phraseology

play04:27

that it's hard to believe that that this

play04:29

is something that was just made up by

play04:32

com's accusers and when I say com's

play04:34

accusers could that be ventor yes could

play04:37

that be Jones yes perhaps the government

play04:39

got this information these this idea of

play04:42

the freak offs originally from them and

play04:45

by the way when I say com's accusers

play04:47

could be Ventura could be Jones perhaps

play04:50

the government got this idea of the

play04:52

freak offs from them originally but we

play04:54

don't know to be clear we do not know

play04:56

for sure we do not know who the accusers

play04:59

are the victims are in this criminal

play05:01

case who the government's Witnesses are

play05:04

whoever those people may be because we

play05:06

don't know for sure who is cooperating

play05:08

with the government right now but the

play05:10

bottom line is the idea of the Freak off

play05:12

there's enough there to substantiate it

play05:14

that the government is moving forward

play05:15

with this and again it is so wild it's

play05:19

such a wild concept to come up with that

play05:22

I wonder if an argument will be made

play05:25

that look jury this has to be true no

play05:28

one can honor ly make something like

play05:31

this up and as you'll see it doesn't

play05:33

appear it was just witness testimony

play05:36

that corroborates the idea of the freak

play05:37

offs happening the existence of these

play05:39

freak offs but there's more and I'll get

play05:41

to that but this also leads me to a

play05:44

secondary point that based upon what we

play05:47

are already seeing from com's defense

play05:49

Council during bail arguments they may

play05:52

not deny that these freak offs happened

play05:55

or even that Colmes called them freak

play05:56

offs they may say yeah you know what he

play05:58

engaged in freak offs that's what he

play06:00

called them but they were consensual

play06:03

that's the idea they were consensual

play06:04

this is not a crime talking about sha

play06:07

comes and these allegations does it not

play06:09

show you just how scary the world can be

play06:11

how unpredictable the world can be and

play06:14

you know what you know what one of the

play06:15

most unpredictable things can be in life

play06:17

something that is truly terrifying that

play06:19

comes out of nowhere if you get injured

play06:22

right that comes out of nowhere but it's

play06:23

important to realize that at those

play06:25

moments what your rights are and whether

play06:28

you could be compensated for your injury

play06:30

well that's where our sponsor and proud

play07:17

and I want to explore that a little bit

play07:19

more let's explore a little bit more

play07:20

details of these freak offs so the

play07:22

indictment continues quote freak offs

play07:24

occurred regularly sometimes lasted

play07:26

multiple days and often involved mult

play07:29

multiple commercial sex workers during

play07:32

freak offs comes distributed a variety

play07:34

of Controlled Substances to victims in

play07:36

part to keep the victims obedient and

play07:38

compliant sometimes unbeknownst to the

play07:40

victims Colmes kept videos he filmed of

play07:43

victims engaging in sex acts with

play07:45

commercial sex workers after freak offs

play07:48

Colmes and the victims typically

play07:50

received IV fluids to recover from the

play07:52

physical exertion and drug use that is

play07:55

something and the government would

play07:57

allege that these freak offs they have

play08:00

been happening since

play08:02

2009 that those drugs consisted of

play08:05

ketamine GHB ecstasy now in terms of the

play08:10

defense of consent the defense could say

play08:12

well these people knowingly and

play08:15

voluntarily took drugs but if it's true

play08:18

that combms kept videos that these

play08:20

participants didn't know about that

play08:23

could be problematic for him especially

play08:25

since we learned the government may have

play08:28

the goods to back all of this up in

play08:30

their bail letter to the judge they

play08:32

write quote the evidence against the

play08:34

defendant which would be made public a

play08:35

trial includes substantial evidence that

play08:38

is highly sensitive and has the

play08:39

potential to significantly and

play08:41

negatively impact the defendant's

play08:43

reputation for example dozens of video

play08:46

recordings created by the defendant of

play08:48

freak offs with victims I mean we

play08:51

wondered what was collected by federal

play08:53

authorities after they raided com's

play08:55

homes in La and Miami back in March

play08:57

there were reports that they collected

play08:59

did digital evidence in fact further on

play09:02

in the government's letter prosecutors

play09:04

write quote setting aside devices seized

play09:06

in connection with the defendants arrest

play09:08

the government has obtained over 90 cell

play09:11

phones laptops cloud storage accounts as

play09:14

well as over 30 other electronic and

play09:17

storage devices such as hard drives

play09:19

thumb drives cameras and a surveillance

play09:22

system the government also wrote victim

play09:25

testimony regarding freak offs is at

play09:27

times corroborated by other Witness

play09:29

testimony Communications with the

play09:31

defendant and Commercial sex workers

play09:33

travel records Hotel records videos of

play09:37

the freak offs and Records reflecting or

play09:41

indicating payment by the way you're

play09:43

talking about evidence of freak offs

play09:45

prosecutors revealed one other way that

play09:48

they can prove that these freak off

play09:49

events happen because in the

play09:51

government's bail letter it states the

play09:53

defendant arranged freak offs with the

play09:55

assistance of members and Associates of

play09:56

the Enterprise including employees of

play09:58

his business bus and the hotel rooms

play10:00

where they were staged often sustain

play10:04

significant damages so the prosecution's

play10:07

letter goes on to state that for example

play10:09

in approximately 2012 in Manhattan the

play10:12

defendant paid over

play10:14

$46,000 to cover damages to a penthouse

play10:17

hotel room following a freak off yeah

play10:21

now I imagine the government plans to

play10:23

produce receipts of this some

play10:25

documentation or witness testimony to

play10:27

corroborate that account cuz it'll be

play10:28

tough for the the defense to say why

play10:31

else did that hotel room sustain

play10:33

allegedly $46,000 worth of Damages if it

play10:36

wasn't for this wild sexual performance

play10:40

event but again you could see why the

play10:42

government's putting that evidence

play10:43

forward to suggest that these freak offs

play10:45

occurred now going back to that idea of

play10:48

consent this defense of consent I couple

play10:51

that with something else that I've been

play10:52

hearing I've seen people say why are

play10:55

these freak offs a crime right you might

play10:58

be wild sexual encounters but why is

play11:01

this sex trafficking why is this

play11:04

racketeering well as laid out in the

play11:06

indictment but also this was articulated

play11:10

by Damen Williams the United States

play11:12

Attorney for the southern district of

play11:13

New York here's what he had to say in a

play11:15

press conference after the unsealing of

play11:18

this indictment as alleged Combs used

play11:20

Force threats of force and coercion to

play11:23

cause victims to engage in extended

play11:25

sexual performances with male commercial

play11:28

sex workers some of whom he transported

play11:30

or caused to be transported over state

play11:33

lines when Colmes didn't get his way he

play11:35

was violent and he subjected victims to

play11:38

physical emotional and verbal abuse so

play11:41

that they would participate in the freak

play11:43

offs and that Combs hit kicked through

play11:47

objects at and dragged victims at times

play11:49

by their

play11:51

hair on one occasion in March of 2016

play11:54

that conduct was captured on video and

play11:56

later reported in the media specifically

play11:59

comes kicked dragged and threw a vase at

play12:02

a victim in a Los Angeles hotel when the

play12:05

victim was attempting to

play12:07

flee as alleged these assaults often

play12:10

resulted in injuries to the victims

play12:12

which took days or weeks to

play12:15

heal in addition to the violence the

play12:18

indictment alleges that Combs threatened

play12:20

and coerced victims to get them to

play12:22

participate in the freak offs he used

play12:25

the embarrassing and sensitive

play12:27

recordings he made of the freak offs as

play12:30

collateral against the victims and

play12:32

that's the key it's using power violence

play12:36

threats coercion Force to get people to

play12:39

participate in sexual activity that is

play12:42

illegal sex trafficking is when you use

play12:45

such methods for the purposes of

play12:47

commercial sex usually over state lines

play12:50

commercial sex is when money is offered

play12:52

for sexual services or something else of

play12:55

value and one of the things that the

play12:56

indictment mentions is how coms would

play12:59

allegedly dangle Promises of career

play13:01

opportunities or threatening to withhold

play13:03

financial support to get people to do

play13:06

what he wanted now you heard Damen

play13:09

Williams mention that 2016 incident so

play13:12

even if you hadn't been following the

play13:14

Colmes legal Saga for the past year

play13:16

everyone saw that video that was

play13:18

published by CNN of Colmes allegedly

play13:21

beating Cassandra Ventura back in 2016

play13:24

at the Intercontinental Hotel in La all

play13:27

while wearing a robe this is something

play13:29

that Ventura alleged had happened when

play13:31

she filed her lawsuit back in November

play13:33

of 2023 but when that video was released

play13:36

we all saw with our own eyes what

play13:39

apparently transpired and we know Shan

play13:42

Colmes issued an apology on Instagram

play13:44

two days after the release of that tape

play13:46

but how this ties to the Freak off well

play13:50

the allegation was the reason he was in

play13:52

a towel the reason she was allegedly

play13:55

running away the reason he allegedly

play13:57

beat her was because she was trying to

play14:00

escape a freak off and as ventur alleged

play14:04

prosecutor SE Holmes tried to cover up

play14:06

this event in the bail letter

play14:09

prosecutors write quote when a member of

play14:11

hotel security staff intervened the

play14:12

defendant attempted to offer the hotel

play14:14

security officer a stack of cash to

play14:16

ensure his silence after the security

play14:19

guard refused the defendant's bribe and

play14:21

after coordination between the defendant

play14:22

and his employees the defendant staff

play14:25

contacted other members of hotel

play14:26

security at the same time staff members

play14:29

were in close communication with the

play14:30

victim of the assault as well all in an

play14:32

effort to cover up the defendant's

play14:34

assault and to prevent the incident from

play14:36

being publicly disclosed within days of

play14:39

the incident the surveillance video

play14:41

disappeared from the hotel's server by

play14:44

the way that brings me to another point

play14:46

about the freak offs how many people

play14:49

allegedly helped Combs do this as the

play14:53

indictment reads quote members and

play14:54

Associates of the comes Enterprise

play14:56

including high- ranking supervisors

play14:58

security staff household staff personal

play15:01

assistants and other com's business

play15:03

employees facilitated the freak offs by

play15:06

among other things booking hotel rooms

play15:08

for the freak offs stocking the hotel

play15:10

rooms in advance with the required freak

play15:12

off supplies including Controlled

play15:14

Substances baby oil lubricant extra

play15:17

Linens and lighting cleaning the hotel

play15:20

rooms after the freak offs to try to

play15:21

mitigate room damage arranging for

play15:23

travel for victims commercial sex

play15:25

workers and combs to and from Freak offs

play15:28

re supplying Combs with requested

play15:30

supplies delivering large sums of cash

play15:32

to Combs to pay the commercial sex

play15:34

workers and scheduling the delivery of

play15:37

IV fluids in or about March 2024 during

play15:40

searches of com's residences in Miami

play15:43

Florida and Los Angeles California law

play15:45

enforcement seized various freak off

play15:48

supplies including narcotics and more

play15:50

than 1,000 bottles of baby oil and

play15:55

lubricant wow so assuming the government

play15:58

did in fact C all of this evidence again

play16:01

I don't think there's a great defense

play16:03

for why someone would have that much

play16:04

baby oil in lubricant so the defense

play16:06

will probably be like yeah my client

play16:09

engaged in these sexual sessions but hey

play16:11

that's not illegal on its face everyone

play16:13

agreed to it's all consensual but here's

play16:15

the larger Point first you can see how

play16:18

this supports the racketeering

play16:20

conspiracy charge that comes faces right

play16:22

the idea that there was an agreement to

play16:25

create and further a criminal Enterprise

play16:28

comes can't do this alone prosecutors

play16:30

need to prove he conspired with others

play16:32

in this criminal Enterprise to break the

play16:34

law so you see this alleged coordination

play16:36

between multiple people at his behest

play16:40

but this also helps explain potential

play16:42

witnesses that may be working with the

play16:45

government those people that used to

play16:47

work for Combs associated with Combs

play16:50

help facilitate these alleged freak offs

play16:53

that may now be key Witnesses at a

play16:55

future trial after all what did the

play16:57

prosecution write in their letter to the

play16:59

judge the government has conducted

play17:01

interviews with over 50 victims and

play17:05

Witnesses many of whom saw or experience

play17:08

the defendants abuse many of these

play17:10

Witnesses corroborate one another and

play17:12

their accounts are similarly consistent

play17:14

with the other types of evidence

play17:16

discussed below the government only

play17:18

expects that number to continue to grow

play17:20

given that the investigation which is

play17:22

now public is ongoing and we did another

play17:25

sidebar on the potential that people

play17:27

will come forward or take deals to

play17:29

cooperate with the government you can

play17:31

check it out on our long crime YouTube

play17:32

page but if you thought that all of that

play17:37

wasn't shocking enough when it comes to

play17:39

the freak offs I want to leave you with

play17:40

one final allegation regarding these

play17:43

freak offs and this is something that

play17:46

prosecutors mentioned in their second

play17:48

letter regarding bail so let's not

play17:50

forget Colmes was first denied bail by a

play17:53

Magistrate Judge he appealed that

play17:55

decision to a district court judge and

play17:57

that judge is supposed to review this

play17:59

with fresh eyes doesn't have to provide

play18:01

necessarily deference to what this other

play18:03

judge did so the government doubled down

play18:05

to show how much of a danger sha Colmes

play18:08

is how he can't be trusted on the

play18:10

outside how he needs to be detained

play18:12

pending trial and in their second letter

play18:15

they write quote indeed since at least

play18:17

in or about January

play18:20

2024 when the defendant was

play18:22

unquestionably aware of the criminal

play18:24

investigation the evidence shows that he

play18:26

is engaged in multiple freak offs some

play18:29

involving the interstate transportation

play18:31

of individuals to participate has

play18:33

continued to use narcotics and has

play18:35

contacted multiple Witnesses so if true

play18:39

the government is saying these freak

play18:41

offs are not years old they are

play18:44

essentially still happening this was

play18:47

after he had already been sued and after

play18:50

the idea of the Freak off had become

play18:53

publicized through those lawsuits people

play18:54

were talking about in the media and he

play18:57

still allegedly engaged in this Behavior

play19:00

that's huge for prosecutors and of

play19:02

course here we know that Colmes was

play19:04

denied bail Again by that secondary

play19:06

judge so there you have it a full

play19:08

breakdown of the Freak off allegations

play19:10

how they tie into the larger overall

play19:12

case and to be clear I'm sure this is

play19:15

not the last time we will hear this term

play19:17

or we will hear more details surrounding

play19:21

the freak offs that's all we have for

play19:23
