Testimony in the sex trafficking trial of hip-hop mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs began this week, opening a window into what prosecutors say was the sordid world of group sex, drugs and violence beneath the glittering, jet set persona cultivated by the Bad Boy Records founder.

Much of the testimony was hard to watch. Combs' ex-girlfriend, Cassie, recounted being beaten and pressured into degrading sexual performances with strangers.

Lawyer Teny Geragos took a novel approach to defending Combs in her opening statement.

She conceded the hip-hop impresario has a "bad temper" and is prone to violent outbursts that are often fueled by alcohol, jealousy and drugs.
