Jury acquits Diddy of sex trafficking, convicts him of transporting women for prostitution

Music producer and rapper, Sean "Diddy" Combs, has been judged not guilty of sex trafficking and being part of a criminal gang by a U.S jury.

However, he was found guilty of bringing women across state lines for prostitution.

The verdict came on Tuesday, July 2, in New York after a high-profile trial that started in May.

The jury spent three days and over 13 hours discussing the case before agreeing on all five charges.

The jury found Combs not guilty of being part of a criminal group (racketeering) and not guilty of sex trafficking singer, Cassie Ventura.

However, he was found guilty of transporting Cassie and other women for ptrostitution.

He was also cleared of sex trafficking another woman referred to as "Jane," but was found guilty of transporting her and others for prostitution.

The charges came from the testimonies of Cassie and Jane, both of whom had romantic relationships with Combs.

They spoke in Court about being taken to hotels where Combs allegedly arranged for other men to have sex with them while he watched, filmed or gave directions, calling these events "freak-offs" or "hotel nights."

Before the verdict was announced, Combs was seen praying with his children and hugging his lawyers.

In the room where many were watching, emotions were high and people reacted audibly as each decision was read, even though the judge had asked for silence.

Combs has been in jail since his arrest in September 2024.

Although he was cleared of the most serious charges, his lawyers believe the guilty verdicts shouldn't stop him from being granted bail.
