Sean “Diddy” Combs was acquitted of the most serious charges in his federal trial. Including racketeering conspiracy and two counts of sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion.
However, he was found guilty on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, one related to his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura and another to a woman who testified under the pseudonym “Jane”. These charges carry a maximum sentence of 10 years each, and prosecutors have indicated they will seek consecutive 10-year terms, potentially up to 20 years total.
The judge has yet to decide if Combs will be released on bail pending sentencing. Combs’ defense team and supporters viewed the verdict as a significant victory, given the acquittal on charges that could have led to a life sentence.
