As Diddy's federal sex trafficking trial began, he was seen reading a Bible at the defense table, appearing solemn and focused. Surrounded by family, he remained mostly still during opening statements. His attorney warned jurors of graphic testimony to come.

Diddy’s sex trafficking trial began with explosive opening statements. His attorney, Teny Geragos, acknowledged a violent history with Cassie but argued the acts were consensual swinger parties. Diddy faces five charges, including racketeering and trafficking.

Federal prosecutors allege Diddy orchestrated sex parties where escorts were paid and drugs provided, claiming he forced an escort to urinate in Cassie's mouth. They accuse him of violence, coercion, and blackmail, with testimony expected from Cassie and others.
