A close look at the case against hip hop mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs, for sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy, underway in a Manhattan court.

Regina Ventura, the mother of Combs' ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura Fine, told the court on May 20 she was "physically sick" over the rapper's alleged abuse and said she was once pressured to send him $20,000 after he raged at her daughter. "I was scared for my daughter’s safety," Ventura told jurors.
