Sean “Diddy” Combs’ former girlfriend, the R&B singer Cassie, told a jury Tuesday that the music mogul abused and sexually exploited her for years, as she took the witness stand for the first time during his sex trafficking trial in New York.

In Sean “Diddy” Combs’s sex-trafficking trial, star witness Cassie Ventura spent hours being cross-examined by the defense.

The mother of Casandra “Cassie” Ventura testified that she paid Sean “Diddy” Combs in 2011 when he demanded the money because he was mad that her daughter was dating someone else.

Prosecutors used Richard and Morgan's testimonies to show that Combs used violence and threats to control others as he leveraged his fame to get what he wanted.
