Episode notes
NDAs Don't Block Criminal Testimony
- Civil settlements usually come with non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) preventing parties from speaking publicly.
- NDAs cannot prevent testimony or cooperation in criminal cases, so alleged victims must still testify if subpoenaed.
Consent Must Be Continuous
- Consent must be continuous and can be revoked at any time during an act.
- The prosecution argues no consent was ever given in the alleged abuse, while the defense claims consent was ongoing.
Sex Trafficking Versus Prostitution
- Sex trafficking involves force, fraud, or coercion to exploit someone, distinct from prostitution which is often consensual.
- Charges against Combs are federal sex trafficking and transportation for prostitution, not solicitation or prostitution itself.
