Sean “Diddy” Combs’s federal sex trafficking trial and high-profile case continues in Day 2 as Cassie Ventura’s testimony details ‘freak-offs’ and alleged abuse.

Hip-hop mogul Sean Combs is on trial for sex trafficking, racketeering, and other charges. Here's everything to know about the rapper's trial, including how much time he's facing.

A federal jury of eight men and four women is hearing testimony at the sex trafficking trial of Sean “Diddy” Combs.

Diddy's trial began on 5 May after the rapper was arrested in September last year on charges of sex trafficking and overseeing a racketeering conspiracy.

R&B singer Casandra Ventura, a onetime rising star in the New York hip-hop scene, testified that ex-boyfriend Sean "Diddy" Combs abused her and derailed her career when she took the stand at the rapper's trial on Tuesday.

Lawyers on both sides of Sean Combs' sex-crimes trial delivered opening statements, and witnesses alleged the one-time mogul was violent in multiple instances.

Federal prosecutors will begin trying to prove that Sean “Diddy” Combs turned his hip-hop conglomerate into a racketeering enterprise that forced women to satisfy his sexual desires for two decades.
