Many of Combs' supporters cried as six of his seven children came to the podium to ask the judge for a light sentence, telling him they needed their father.

Esther said she cried after seeing people of all faiths turn up at the church.

Kassie reveals that she cried when she realised there were no carpets or floor coverings in the bedrooms, hallway and lounge.

"I cried and I cried… it's trauma on top of trauma," she told the BBC.

"I must have cried for three hours. Then the kids got home from school and I showed my daughter the BBC story and she burst into tears."
