SEAN 'DIDDY' COMBS GUILTY ON 2 LESS SERIOUS COUNTS
American rapper and Hip Hop mogul Sean 'Diddy' Combs was found guilty Wednesday, by a jury in New York City on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution in his federal trial, but was acquitted of the more severe charges of racketeering conspiracy and s*x trafficking.
Combs was convicted of two counts related to transporting individuals across state lines for prostitution, each carrying a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison. Prosecutors estimated a preliminary sentence of 51 to 63 months, or roughly four to five years. He will receive 10 months of credit for time served.
Despite Combs' attorneys' request for release on a $1 million bond, District Judge Arun Subramanian denied bail, emphasizing the need for Combs to remain in custody due to his history of violence, the defense's concession of violence in his personal relationships and the risk he poses to the community. He'll remain in detention until his sentencing on October 3, 2025.
