During her first day of testimony, Ms. Ventura described a relationship with Mr. Combs that was controlling and included physical abuse.

Sean "Diddy" Combs' ex-girlfriend Casandra Ventura testified on Wednesday that the hip-hop mogul raped her in 2018 after they ended their more than decade-long relationship.

Combs has pleaded not guilty to charges that include racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution.
