Witness: Andre LaMon

Andre LaMon’s Testimony in Sean 'Diddy' Combs’ Sex Trafficking and Racketeering Trial: Day 23 Highlights On June 13, 2025, during Day 23 of Sean 'Diddy' Combs’ federal sex trafficking and racketeering trial at the Daniel Patrick Moynihan U.S. Courthouse in New York, Special Agent Andre LaMon of Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) testified as a prosecution witness. LaMon, who works in the Los Angeles office of HSI’s Human Trafficking Unit, provided jurors with a detailed account of the March 2024 raid on Combs’ Los Angeles mansion, revealing evidence that supported the prosecution’s allegations of Combs’ involvement in 'freak-offs'—drug-fueled, orchestrated sexual encounters. His testimony aimed to bolster the racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking charges by showcasing physical evidence of Combs’ alleged criminal enterprise. LaMon began by outlining his role in executing the raid, noting his extensive experience with 50 to 60 search warrants in human trafficking cases. He testified that the search of Combs’ Holmby Hills estate uncovered significant items, including approximately 200 bottles of baby oil and 900 bottles of Astroglide lubricant, stored in drawers and stacked in boxes across the residence. Jurors were shown photographs of these items, which prosecutors allege were 'freak-off supplies' used in prolonged sexual encounters involving coerced participants. LaMon also described finding multiple bags containing ketamine, a drug allegedly used to fuel these events, and a sealed packet with lingerie, further suggesting the sexual nature of the activities. A critical aspect of LaMon’s testimony was the discovery of firearms and ammunition. He detailed the seizure of six weapons from a security room, including Ruger and Smith & Wesson rifles and a Glock pistol. Among the ammunition was a 'drum' magazine with 59 rounds of 'green tip' bullets, capable of piercing body armor, and one firearm had its serial number scratched off, indicating potential illegal modification. These findings supported the prosecution’s claims that Combs used weapons to intimidate victims and enforce compliance during 'freak-offs,' as alleged in the indictment. During cross-examination by Combs’ defense attorney Marc Agnifilo, LaMon was questioned about the uniqueness of seizing such a large quantity of lubricant. Agnifilo asked if LaMon had encountered similar bulk supplies in other human trafficking investigations, to which LaMon replied, 'It’s only been this one,' prompting a female juror to smile and glance between the agent and attorney, as noted by courtroom observers. The defense sought to downplay the significance of the lubricant, suggesting it could be for personal use, but LaMon maintained that the sheer volume was notable in the context of the case. Agnifilo also inquired about the treatment of Combs’ sons during the raid, referencing claims that they were held at gunpoint, but LaMon’s responses focused on the evidence collected rather than the raid’s execution. On redirect, the prosecution reinforced the relevance of the seized items, asking LaMon to confirm the presence of drugs, lubricants, and firearms, which he did. He emphasized that the items were consistent with the prosecution’s narrative of a criminal enterprise facilitating sex trafficking. LaMon’s testimony concluded after redirect, providing a vivid snapshot of the physical evidence gathered during the raid. LaMon’s account was impactful, as it offered tangible proof of the prosecution’s allegations, contrasting with earlier witness testimonies reliant on personal accounts. The volume of lubricants and the presence of ketamine aligned with prior testimony from Jane, who described drug-fueled 'hotel nights,' while the firearms supported claims of intimidation. However, the defense’s cross-examination highlighted the lack of direct evidence tying the items to criminal acts, leaving room for interpretation. Legal analysts noted that while LaMon’s testimony strengthened the prosecution’s case, it alone did not prove racketeering or sex trafficking, requiring further corroboration to establish Combs’ intent and actions.
