Sunny Hostin was present in the courtroom for Day 2 of Sean “Diddy” Combs‘ federal criminal trial this week — and on this morning’s episode of The View, she shared how she thinks the prosecution could help the jurors better understand why Cassie Ventura stayed in an abusive relationship with the music mogul for so long.

Earlier this week, Ventura testified against Combs, who pled not guilty to charges of racketeering conspiracy, transportation to engage in prostitution, and sex trafficking by force or coercion. Ventura, who dated the rapper for a decade, detailed years of physical abuse in her testimony, including his alleged demands to watch her have sex with escorts at his alleged “freak offs.”

“He introduced this to her when she was about 20 years old,” Hostin explained, noting that Ventura said she “didn’t want to” engage in sex with escorts. “Within about six months to a year of dating, he told her that his fantasy was voyeurism. He wanted to see this happen. And she explained that she did it for 10 years because when you love someone you want to make them happy, you don’t want to make them angry.”

Hostin continued, “She actually arranged for the escorts, she arranged for their travel, she paid for the deposits for the escorts, she purchased clothing from sex stores, she purchased baby oil, she took drugs. In text messages, she said, ‘I want to freak off so badly.’ And she explains that she never explicitly said no.”

Hostin, who is a former sex crimes prosecutor, immediately saw “classic victim, survivor, sexual grooming” in Ventura’s recollection of events, especially since she was only 19 when she met a 37-year-old Combs. However, Hostin also seemed worried that the jurors might not have taken the same perspective away from her testimony.

“I also saw some of the jurors just not understanding how she didn’t just leave,” she said. “I think that in order for the prosecution to prove this case — and it’s a heavily male jury, there are 12 men and eight women — I think they’re gonna have to have an expert describe and explain that this is what happens in this kind of relationship.”

She added, “I saw it clear as day. I don’t think the average person will see that.”

The View airs on weekdays at 11/10c on ABC.
