Sean “Diddy” Combs Found Not Guilty of Racketeering and S*x Trafficking Convicted on Prostitution Charges.
Music mogul and entrepreneur Sean “Diddy” Combs has been found not guilty of racketeering and s*x trafficking in a federal trial that drew nationwide attention. The charges were related to his former partner Cassie Ventura and another woman referred to only as “Jane.”
However, Combs was found guilty of transporting individuals across state lines for the purpose of engaging in prostitution, a federal offense that carries significant penalties. The conviction applies to both Ventura and Jane.
Combs, 55, has been in federal custody since his arrest in September 2024, and is now awaiting sentencing, with a date yet to be announced.
The trial lasted nearly two months and featured testimony from 34 witnesses, including former girlfriends, ex-employees, male escorts, and federal agents. Prosecutors presented evidence spanning more than a decade, while the defense argued that many of the allegations were exaggerated or motivated by personal gain.
Combs has maintained his innocence throughout, with his legal team expected to file an appeal following sentencing.
