Prosecutor Emily Johnson described one “freak-off” where Cassie Ventura felt like she was “choking” when Sean “Diddy” Combs “made an escort urinate in her mouth.”Johnson said that Ventura — his one-time girlfriend — would tell jurors herself about the alleged degrading incident that took place when the “I’ll Be Missing You” rapper began introducing her to so-called “freak-off” sessions, where he forced her to take part in sex with male escorts while pleasuring himself and recording it on video.

The 1,785 pages of court filings, unveiled after The Post and other outlets demanded access, are set to include unredacted warrants, such as the one for Hizzoner’s cellphone that agents seized on a New York City street. Some 50 court exhibits were included in the document dump.

Sean “Diddy” Combs’ ex-girlfriend Cassie will be one of the first witnesses at his bombshell sex-trafficking federal trial — and could take the stand as soon as Monday, prosecutors say. The R&B singer, whose full name is Cassandra Ventura, will be the feds’ third witness after testimony kicks off in the case where the embattled hip-hop mogul is charged with orchestrating a decades-long reign of sexual terror, prosecutor Maurene Comey said.
