After days testifying that the mogul pressured her to have sex with other men, the woman is being cross-examined by a lawyer for Combs about their three-year relationship.

A former girlfriend of Sean Combs, under cross-examination by the mogul’s lawyers, testified on Tuesday about the moments of affection shared during a tumultuous three-year relationship, saying that she “felt very loved by him.”
The woman, Jane, who is appearing in court under a pseudonym to protect her privacy, described how she cherished her time cuddling and watching “Dateline” on television with Mr. Combs. She comforted him with foot rubs and bathed him. “He was my baby,” Jane said.
The defense’s questioning sought to counter her testimony over the previous three days, in which she described taking part in what she called “hotel nights”: drug-fueled sex marathons with hired male escorts, which Jane said she did not want to engage in, and which led to problems like frequent urinary tract infections.
Under questioning from Teny Geragos, a lawyer for Mr. Combs, Jane said she was eager to please Mr. Combs, and that she felt their hotel nights satisfied him.
“Do you feel that you were the only person who knew what he truly liked sexually?” Ms. Geragos asked Jane.
“Yes,” Jane responded.
Mr. Combs, the music producer and impresario also known as Puff Daddy and Diddy, is charged with sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy. The government has accused him of running a “criminal enterprise” whose objectives included coercing women into sex and covering it up; after Casandra Ventura, the singer known as Cassie, who testified over four days last month, Jane is the second woman put forward by prosecutors as a victim of sex trafficking.
