P. Diddy Convicted of Prostitution, Acquitted on Sex Trafficking and Racketeering Charges.
Sean “Diddy” Combs was found guilty of prostitution by a New York jury on Wednesday, but acquitted of the more serious charges of sex trafficking and racketeering.
The verdict comes after a high-profile trial in which prosecutors accused the music mogul of using his influence to coerce partners into illegal activities.
While Combs, 55, faced several felony counts, the jury only convicted him on the prostitution charge, which carries a lighter sentence than the other allegations.
Combs’ legal team expressed relief at the acquittals but said they would review options regarding the prostitution conviction.
Sentencing is expected in the coming weeks, with Combs now facing up to 10 years in prison.
The case has drawn national attention, highlighting issues of power, consent, and accountability within the entertainment industry.
