A jury in Manhattan has reached a mixed verdict in the trial of Sean “Diddy” Combs. On Wednesday, they acquitted him of the most serious charges, which included racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking. However, they found him guilty on two counts related to the transportation of individuals for prostitution.
Combs, who is 55 years old, now faces a potential sentence of up to 10 years in prison. The jury convicted him on charges linked to his ex-girlfriend, Casandra “Cassie” Ventura, and another former girlfriend, known only as Jane. Prosecutors argued that Combs used his fame and wealth to manipulate his ex-girlfriends into participating in drug-fueled sexual activities, referred to as “freak-offs.”
Ventura’s testimony played a crucial role in the jury’s decision. Following the verdict, there is also the possibility of future civil lawsuits against Combs.
This case has drawn significant attention due to Combs’ celebrity status and the serious nature of the allegations. As the legal proceedings continue, updates are expected.
