The trial of Sean Diddy’ Combs began on May 12 in Federal District Court in Manhattan .

Prosecutors allege that Diddy used his fame and power at the top of the hip-hop world to sexually abuse women from 2004 to 2024 .

He pleaded not guilty after his September arrest and has remained held without bail.

Diddy allegedly threatened to ruin Ventura ’s singing career by releasing to the public videos of her engaging in sex with male escorts, the prosecutor said.

Diddy 's lawyers say he is not guilty of what he has been accused of.

The defence admitted that Diddy is violent, “has a bad temper” and that he takes drugs.

Diddy ’s mother Janice and some of his children were in attendance for opening statements on May 12 .

Diddy is charged with sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy and transportation to engage in prostitution.

If found guilty in the New York court, he could face life in prison.
