Week 3 of music mogul Sean “Puffy” Combs’ RICO trial kicked off on Monday with federal prosecutors releasing photos of alleged sex workers who participated in Cassie Ventura and Combs’s “freak-offs”.
On Monday, prosecutors released a document dump of exhibits entered as evidence.
The men are among “hundreds” of sex workers recruited by Cassie to perform intimate acts with her for Combs’ enjoyment.
Sandrarose.com reader Renee reached out with information about one of the men in the photos, Edmond H. Laurent, who was forced to turn to sex work to make ends meet.
Renee writes: “Hello Sandra: Edmond H. Laurent is from the Dominica Island and he is based in West Los Angeles. Once a promising male model 15 years ago, he was in dozens of music videos, commercials, and print advertising campaigns.”
She continued: “Over the past two decades, because he was illiterate, he became a stripper and a male prostitute. Yesterday, Edmond’s photo with the name “Johnny” (Government Exhibit 2A-619) was released to the media as one of the sex workers involved in Puffy’s case.”
Renee added:
“Edmond’s book, “The Journey of the Island Jewel” – self-published in March 2020, was co-written with someone else. I read it a few years ago but didn’t read all of it. Last night I looked at the table of conatents and knew that Chapter 12, “Threes a Crowd”, references Puffy as “Patrick” and “Cynthia” as Cassie. The screenshot is of an encounter Edmond had with Puffy and Cassie.”
