Sean "Diddy" Combs' sex trafficking trial began with the Cassie Tape being played, testimony from a male exotic dancer and opening statements.

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.

Cassie Ventura, the prosecution’s star witness in the sex-trafficking case against Sean “Diddy” Combs, told jurors Tuesday about taking part in weekly drug-fueled sex parties as her yearslong relationship with the music mogul turned abusive.
