Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs Convicted on Federal Prostitution Charges, Acquitted of Sex Trafficking.
Music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs was found guilty on two federal counts of transporting individuals for prostitution but was acquitted of the more
serious charges of sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy after an eight-week trial in Manhattan.
The federal jury, consisting of eight men and four women from Manhattan, Westchester, and the Bronx, reached a partial verdict following over 13 hours of deliberation. Combs, 55, faced a potential life sentence if convicted on all charges.
The convictions relate to violations of the federal Mann Act, with each count carrying a maximum sentence of 10 years. The charges involved two women identified as “Jane” and Casandra Ventura.
Although the convictions are felonies, the outcome is viewed as a partial legal win for Combs, who faced severe allegations from prosecutors claiming he led a criminal enterprise that coerced women into sex acts with male prostitutes, which he allegedly watched and recorded.
In the courtroom, Combs showed emotion as the verdict was announced, clasping his hands in prayer, mouthing thanks to the jury, and acknowledging his family with gratitude.
Combs’ defense attorney, Marc Agnifilo, acknowledged his client’s past struggles but argued that the government overstated its case. He requested that Combs be allowed to return to Miami Beach before sentencing, noting that this is his first conviction and that he is not a flight risk.
No sentencing date has been scheduled yet.
