The 20th day of Sean "Diddy" Combs' sex-trafficking and racketeering conspiracy trial was punctuated by a harrowing story of fear and danger, as the longtime friend of his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura testified the rap mogul attacked her for no reason in 2016, dangled her from a 17th-floor balcony and threw her into a coffee table.

Bryana Bongolan told the court that Combs held her over the railing at Cassie Ventura’s apartment before slamming her into the balcony's furniture.

As Sean "Diddy" Combs' trial continues, prosecutors face a challenge in keeping witnesses anonymous against the backdrop of such public proceedings.
