Watch: Coercion or consent? Opening statements in Diddy trial
Opening statements at Sean "Diddy" Combs' sex-trafficking trial in New York began with details of alleged assault and video evidence.
Federal prosecutors have accused Combs on five charges, including racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking and engaging in prostitution. The rapper has denied all of them.
So, were the so-called "freak-off" sex parties forced or consensual?
The BBC's Nada Tawfik runs through Monday's opening statements.
