The Diddy trial is going to spend a lot of time on his “Freak Off” parties, and the issue here is consent … his defense says the encounters were consensual, and the prosecution needs to prove otherwise.

TMZ examines the legal strategy surrounding the Freak Offs in our new documentary, “The Downfall of Diddy: His Defense,” available now on Tubi.

Criminal defense lawyers who have won some of the most high-profile celebrity criminal cases in America break down how consent will play a big role in Diddy’s trial.

Prosecutors need to prove Diddy used coercion in those Freak Off parties if they’re gonna get a conviction — but listen to Joe Tacopina, Mark Geragos and Jose Baez explain why Diddy’s defense will be confident they can prove these were consensual encounters.

Diddy’s team describes all the alleged victims as former girlfriends … and as these criminal defense lawyers point out, it’s no easy task for the feds to convince a jury these women were being sex trafficked.

We even had a mock jury for our documentary, which deliberated and fiercely debated coercion and consent … before voting on whether Diddy is guilty or not.

Mark Consuelos may be 54, but his looks over the years prove he’s got a shredded core !

Fillin’ out his V-neck sweater, here is a 28-year-old version of Marky-Mark at the 26th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards Nominations in NYC (left). This was during his 1995-2002 tenure playing Mateo Santos on “All My Children.”

And, more than two decades later the 54-year-old daddy of three put his jawline on the line earlier this month (right) … and let’s just say, he can still get it!

We know his wife Kelly Ripa is down for Mark’s fuego looks … she’s known to post thirst traps of her hunky hubby, but the key question here is:

Are your eyes wandering around for more sexy shots of Mr. Consuelos? Look above and be blessed by the bod!

Former “NYPD Blue” actress Kim Delaney now knows how it feels to be one of the suspects she arrested on the famous crime drama … because she got thrown in the clink on Saturday!

Kim’s real-life drama began around 10 AM Saturday when police were called to her LA home for a domestic disturbance involving her and her partner, James Morgan, according to law enforcement sources.

We’re told the two had gotten into a heated argument that turned physical. Our sources say paramedics arrived on scene to see if Kim and John were injured.

Kim has also starred in other TV shows, such as “CSI Miami,” “Philly,” “Army Wives” and the soap opera, “All My Children.”
