BREAKING - Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs acquitted of s*x trafficking, convicted on lesser charge
Music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs was found not guilty of racketeering and s*x trafficking Wednesday but convicted of a less serious prostitution charge after a high-profile marathon trial in New York.
The jury, after 13 hours of deliberation, found Combs guilty of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, each of which carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison.
But he was acquitted of a major racketeering charge and two s*x trafficking charges that could have sent him to prison to life.
Combs bowed his head, quietly pumping his fists in his lap and bringing his hands together in a prayer as the verdicts were read out. At one point, he looked towards the ceiling, appearing to express deep relief.
He shook hands with one of his lawyers, who embraced each other — two of them teared up in joy — and mouthed thanks to the eight-man, four-woman jury as they filed out of the courtroom.
