Lawyers on both sides of Sean Combs' sex-crimes trial delivered opening statements, and witnesses alleged the one-time mogul was violent in multiple instances.

A court filing ahead of the trial accused Combs of using jailhouse communications to influence witnesses— including requesting authorized-contact family members and defense counsel to add other unauthorized individuals to three-way calls and using other inmates’ phone access codes.

prosecutors told jurors that the once-powerful mogul used his music empire for decades to “feed his every desire.”
