As Sean "Diddy" Combs' sex trafficking trial continued Monday, three witnesses took the stand and largely corroborated last week's testimony from Combs' ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura about the years of sexual and physical abuse she endured.

Pop singer Dawn Richard told a jury on Monday that she saw Sean "Diddy" Combs beat his girlfriend repeatedly, but she faced sharp questioning from a defense lawyer over apparent inconsistencies in her account.

Testifying as the fifth witness at Combs’ Manhattan Federal Court trial, Danity Kane member Dawn Richard, 42, of New Orleans, told jurors about witnessing the Bad Boy Records co-founder attack Ventura multiple times. Richard was selected for stardom as a member of Danity Kane by Combs in MTV’s “Making the Band.”
