Legal Battles and Cultural Reflections

The trial of Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is over. He has been cleared of sex trafficking and racketeering with conspiracy, and found guilty of transportation for prostitution. He is due to be sentenced at a later date.

But discussions go on about power dynamics and working practices in the music industry, as well as about coercion, control and consent.

Anoushka Mutanda-Dougherty speaks to BBC investigations correspondent Rianna Croxford about her work with producer Larissa Kennelly hearing from people who worked for Sean Combs.

And CNN anchor and former prosecutor Laura Coates tells Anoushka what she heard from one of the alternate jurors on the Diddy trial about the evidence that might have undermined the prosecution’s case.

Details of organisations in the UK offering information and support with some of the issues raised are available at bbc.co.uk/actionline
