US EditionSean 'Diddy' Combs found not guilty of sex trafficking and racketeering, but guilty on lesser charges
- On July 2, a New York City jury acquitted Sean "Diddy" Combs on charges including racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking, but convicted him on counts related to transporting individuals for prostitution.
- The verdict followed a seven-week trial and three days of jury deliberations addressing charges including racketeering, sex trafficking, and transportation of sex workers across state lines.
- Combs was found guilty of transporting his girlfriends and compensated male escorts across states for the purpose of sexual activities, violating the federal Mann Act, while being found not guilty of charges related to coercing his girlfriends into drug-fueled group sex sessions.
- The jury of eight men and four women reported "unpersuadable opinions on both sides" prevented a unanimous racketeering verdict, where conviction could have meant a life sentence, and sex trafficking carried a 15-year minimum.
- The mixed verdict means Combs, 55, faces up to ten years for transportation charges but is cleared of more severe accusations, which likely affects his future as a music executive and entrepreneur.
