The 55-year-old music mogul is accused of using his power as the leader of a business empire to facilitate the sex trafficking of women and conceal his crimes.

Mr Combs has admitted to domestic violence - but has pleaded not guilty to the prosecution's charges, some of which rely on laws once aimed at mob bosses to try and bring him down.

The defence has yet to make its case - which Mr Combs' attorneys have said will only take a couple days.

Prosecutors, meanwhile, called more than 30 witnesses, including Mr Combs' ex-girlfriend and musician Casandra Ventura, and rapper Kid Cudi, who once dated Ms Ventura - as well as former assistants, hotel security guards and others who say they witnessed Mr Combs' abuse.
