Sean Combs (seen here Beverly Hills in 2018) has been charged with sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy. He has pleaded not guilty.

For more than six weeks, Sean Combs has sat amongst his nine attorneys in a lower Manhattan federal courtroom as more than two dozen witnesses who include ex-girlfriends, former employees and law enforcement agents have testified against him. Combs — who faces charges for sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy and transporting for prostitution — has been accused by the U.S. government of running a criminal enterprise that facilitated and concealed abuse for decades. He has pleaded not guilty to all the charges.

Prosecutors are expected to finish laying out their case against the hip-hop mogul on Tuesday, and after they do, Combs' defense attorneys will step into the spotlight to explain their client's version of events — and they expect it to be brief, taking as little as one day.

"Sean Combs is a complicated man, but this is not a complicated case," defense attorney Teny Geragos said during opening arguments of the trial.
