Hotel security guard says Sean Combs tried to give him money after finding Cassie injured during 2016 assault incident

Sean Combs and Cassie Ventura's attorneys are fighting the press on whether they will be allowed to view the 'freak-off' videos in the Diddy trial.

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.

Prosecutors' star witness, Sean "Diddy" Combs' ex-girlfriend Casandra Ventura, took the stand on Tuesday in the hip-hop mogul's sex trafficking trial, accusing the rapper of controlling her life and coercing her into "humiliating" sex acts.

Cassie Ventura testified that she did not remember how the term “freak off” came about but she recalled Sean Combs proposed “this sexual encounter, that he called voyeurism, where he would watch me in intercourse, sexual activity with another man” within the first year of their relationship.

Coercion or consent? That is the central question posed to a federal jury on the first day of testimony in Sean “Diddy” Combs’ racketeering and sex trafficking trial in New York City.

As outlined in their opening statements this morning, what the defence says at this point is that Combs did in fact hit his girlfriends, as jurors went on to see in that hotel video - but the defence also says that's not what this trial is about, and that domestic abuse is not the same as sex trafficking.

Lawyers for Misa Hylton, who previously showed support for Diddy accuser Cassie, said that she was at the trial to support her son with the music mogul.
