Leading up to his criminal trial, Sean “Diddy” Combs has bolstered his legal team, but one lawyer in the courtroom gained some attention as jury selection began this week.

Casandra Ventura, who has testified that Mr. Combs was physically abusive and coerced her into marathon sex sessions, will be cross-examined by his defense team.

Sean “Diddy” Combs will have the support of his family as opening statements in his sex-trafficking trial are set to begin Monday in downtown Manhattan.
