Sean Combs’ Defense Team Says Explicit Videos ‘Confirm His Innocence,’ Ask for Electronic Copies

“Their full exculpatory value cannot be investigated and used unless they are electronically produced,” the mogul’s lawyers say

Sean Combs’s defense team is asking the court to allow electronic reproduction of nine explicit “Freak Off” videos they say demonstrate the embattled music mogul’s innocence by depicting only sexual activity between consenting adults.

The request to modify the protective order came in a Tuesday letter from Combs’ attorneys to United States District Judge Arnn Subramanian that was obtained by TheWrap. The videos in question are currently restricted to in-person supervised viewing, which the defense team says they did on Nov. 20.

Combs’ attorneys argue it cannot properly evaluate, enhance, or use the evidence in trial preparation without making electronic copies.
