Sean "Diddy" Combs is facing trial on charges of sex trafficking and racketeering.

The hip-hop mogul is accused of drugging and assault at lavish parties, high-end hotels and in his label's recording studio.

He denies all the allegations and says he has full confidence in the judicial process where "the truth will prevail".

In 1995 , a former employee says he walked in on Combs having sex with a young woman at Daddy's House recording studio in New York .

The studio was run by twenty -something executives and a large number of interns.

Artists and other employees at Bad Boy's record label would sometimes request for women to be flown in to have sex at the studio, the former executive says.

Model Crystal McKinney alleges the mogul plied her with alcohol and marijuana before sexually assaulting her there in 2003 .

A woman alleges that Combs and two associates gang raped her at the studio when she was 17 .

Combs's lawyers say he "looks forward to proving his innocence", adding that McKinney 's claims are "without merit".
