Sean Diddy Combs is back in court as his sex-trafficking and racketeering trial continues on Wednesday in New York federal court.
The now white-haired mogul has been wearing glasses and sweaters as he listens to the prosecutions witness accuse him of using his wealth and fame to coerce women and employees into criminal activity.
Diddys lawyers are cross-examining his ex-girlfriend and alleged victim Jane, who is testifying under a pseudonym.
Jane claims she was abused by the rapper and made to participate in drug-fueled freak-off sex marathons.
She is one of several witnesses to accuse Combs of violence toward them, including his former girlfriend the R&B singer Ventura Cassie.
Diddy, 55, has pleaded not guilty to sex trafficking and racketeering charges that could put him in prison for life.
Diddy and the 'nerd defense' strategy
Diddy has been sporting a much different look during his trial than he did while he was a free man, sparking speculation that he could be trying the nerd defense.
His hair and goatee are now nearly all white, as the mogul no longer has access to the Just For Man hair dye that was found in his Miami mansion.
He has also been pairing black framed glasses with a white collared short under a neutral toned sweater, as noted by The New York Times.
The nerd defense is based on the idea that dressing defendents in glasses has a subliminal effect on the jury, which will see the accused as someone less likely to engage in criminal activity.
The term was actually coined by Harvey Slovis, who represented Diddy during his 1999 trial for gun posession.
