Another famous celebrity was also dragged into the trial with Usher’s name heard in the witness box as musician Dawn Richard and Casandra “Cassie” Ventura’s former best friend, Kerry Morgan, took the stand.

Ms Richard was a member of the musical group Danity Kane that was started by Combs as part of a reality show on MTV called Making the Band.

Ms Morgan was a model who worked with Ventura.

The first week of testimony in the sex trafficking trial of Sean “Diddy” Combs included core testimony to the case from Ventura, who accused him of harrowing abuse, coercion and rape.

Combs, 55, faces five criminal counts: one count of racketeering conspiracy; two counts of sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion; and two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution.

The music mogul faces life in prison if convicted.
