Sean "Diddy" Combs used fame and violence to sexually abuse women, prosecutors have said in opening statements at the hip-hop mogul's trial, while the rapper's attorneys defended his "swinger" lifestyle. The 55-year-old has pleaded not guilty to charges including racketeering, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution.

Cassie Ventura, a longtime girlfriend of Sean "Diddy" Combs, said she loved the hip-hop mogul and felt a sense of duty to join "freak offs."
