In Pics | Sean Combs, 55, is accused of using violence and threats against women to force them to take part in drug-fueled sex in parties labelled ‘freakouts’ and ‘king nights’ for over 20 years.

P Diddy guilty of prostitution, acquitted in serious charges of sex trafficking, racketeering: Trial recap in PICS

After seven-weeks of rigorous trial, controversial music mogul Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs has been found not guilty of charges of sex trafficking and racketeering. He has, however, been convicted of a US federal prostitution felony on Wednesday.&nbsp; The jury found Combs guilty of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution after a high-profile seven-week trial.&nbsp;Combs faces a maximum of 20 years in prison for transportation to engage in prostitution related to Casandra Ventura and ‘Jane’.&nbsp; &nbsp;The Judge will later decide whether Combs, who is at present in a New York jail, will be released on bail.&nbsp;&nbsp;As the vedict was read out, Combs, 55, smiled and looked relieved. He shook hands with one of his lawyers and said "thank you" to members of the eight-man four-woman jury as they left the courtroom. &nbsp;Judge Arun Subramanian also thanked the jury for their service before dismissing them. "You listened, you worked together, you were here every day, rain or shine," he said. “You did so with no reward, other than the reward that comes from answering the call of public service.” &nbsp;<h2>Seven weeks of trial, 34 witnesses</h2>On Wednesday, a jury of 12 New Yorkers found Combs guilty of the Mann Act of transporting his former girlfriends, Cassie Ventura and a woman who went by the name Jane, in the courtroom, but he was not found guilty of running a criminal enterprise and of sex trafficking. The federal court in Manhattan heard 34 witnesses about the case over a seven-week-long trial.&nbsp; The verdict, which saw the defense winning three acquittals, marked the end of a trial that had captured global attention and turned the court in Manhattan into a media circus.&nbsp; &nbsp;Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs was arrested in September 2024 over charges of sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, and transportation to engage in prostitution. The music mogul had pleaded not guilty to all the charges.&nbsp;<h2>Jury delivers mixed verdict&nbsp;</h2>The 12-member jury gave a mixed verdict on the Diddy trial, declaring him guilty of only two of the 5 counts he was accused. The verdict was announced after 13 hours of deliberation over three days.&nbsp;&nbsp;The jury found Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs: &nbsp; &nbsp;-NOT GUILTY of racketeering conspiracy -NOT GUILTY of the sex trafficking of ex-girlfriend Casandra Ventura &nbsp;- NOT GUILTY of the sex trafficking of ‘Jane’ &nbsp;- GUILTY of the transportation to engage in prostitution, related to Casandra Ventura &nbsp;- GUILTY of the transportation to engage in prostitution related to ‘Jane’&nbsp;The verdict came at the end of a trial in which prosecutors had accused Combs of being the boss of a decades-long criminal group who directed loyal employees and bodyguards to commit myriad offenses at his behest.The alleged crimes included forced labor, drug distribution, kidnapping, bribery, witness tampering and obstruction and arson. &nbsp;To find Combs guilty of racketeering, jurors needed to find the existence of a criminal enterprise and that the organization committed at least two of the offenses. &nbsp;Jurors announced a partial verdict late Tuesday and said they were deadlocked on the racketeering charge but Judge Arun Subramanian instructed them to keep working.&nbsp;<h2>Sex was consensual</h2>&nbsp;Combs was charged with sex trafficking two women: singer Casandra Ventura and a woman who testified under the pseudonym Jane. &nbsp;Both were in long-term relationships with Diddy and they each testified about abuse, threats and coercive sex in wrenching detail. &nbsp;They both said they felt obligated to participate in Combs-directed sexual marathons with hired men. Combs's lawyers insisted the sex was consensual. They conceded domestic violence was a feature of his relationships -- one harrowing example of him beating and dragging Ventura was caught on security footage that has been widely publicized. &nbsp;Yet while disturbing, that did not amount to sex trafficking, the defense said. But prosecutors in their final argument tore into Combs's team, who they said had "contorted the facts endlessly."&nbsp; "In his mind he was untouchable," prosecutor Maurene Comey told the court. "The defendant never thought that the women he abused would have the courage to speak out loud what he had done to them."&nbsp;

Sean Diddy Combs found NOT GUILTY for sex trafficking, racketeering

The jury in the trial of Sean "Diddy" Combs will continue deliberating after reaching a partial verdict but remaining deadlocked on the top charge faced by the hip-hop mogul. Combs is facing multiple federal charges, including sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation with intent to engage in prostitution. The 12 jurors announced they had reached an agreement on four of the five counts, but could not come to a decision on the racketeering charge, which carries a potential life sentence. Deliberations are set to resume on Wednesday morning. Sean "Diddy" Combs has pleaded not guilty to all five charges.<h2>Testimonies heard over two months</h2>Over the past two months, jurors have heard testimony from 34 witnesses, including ex-girlfriends, former employees, male escorts, and federal agents. The panel explained they could not agree on the racketeering charge because two jurors on both sides held strong, unchanging opinions.<h2>Judge considers next steps after partial verdict</h2>Judge Arun Subramanian heard arguments from both prosecutors and Combs' defence team on how to move forward, before encouraging the jurors to keep trying for a unanimous verdict. The verdicts reached on the other four counts have not yet been disclosed.<h2>Prosecutors urge Allen charge</h2>Prosecutors urged the judge to issue an Allen charge, a legal instruction that urges a deadlocked jury to try to reach a consensus. Allen charges can be controversial, as critics argue they place unfair pressure on jurors to change their votes or give in to peer pressure.<h2>New lawsuit emerges against Combs</h2>As a verdict draws closer, Combs has also been hit with another lawsuit. Edmond Laurent, a former model and actor who appeared in music videos for Britney Spears and Lil’ Kim, is suing Combs and several others for assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligence, sexual battery, civil conspiracy, and aiding and abetting. &nbsp;

Sean 'Diddy' Combs jury deadlocked on racketeering charge, ordered to keep deliberating

P Diddy trial: Defence and prosecution have rested their cases in the federal sex trafficking and racketeering trial of disgraced hip hop mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs that ran from May 12 to Tuesday (June 25), with the closing arguments and final verdict expected in the coming weeks. The hearings at the Daniel Patrick Moynihan US Courthouse in New York City before Indian-origin judge Arun Subramanian witnessed sordid details of decades of abuse, wild parties and reckless lifestyle of the man once known as Puff Daddy. He faces charges of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion, and transportation to engage in prostitution. Combs has denied all charges. If convicted and sentenced, it will be yet another downfall of a major hip hop figure of the 21st century.&nbsp;<h2>P Diddy trial: what you should know</h2>The 55-year-old Combs is accused of using violence and threats against women to force them to take part in drug-fueled sex in parties labelled ‘freakouts’ and ‘kings nights’ for over 20 years. The defence lawyers, who called no witnesses, argued that the whole case is a misrepresentation of consensual relationships.&nbsp;The prosecution rested after over 30 witnesses, while defence called no witness. Combs himself did not testify, but has denied the charges.&nbsp; Closing arguments are scheduled for June 26–27, 2025, followed by jury deliberations. The final verdict is expected before the 4th of July holiday weekend.<h2>P Diddy trial recap: Who said what in the testimonies</h2>Here is how the trial unfolded, told through the key witnesses: &nbsp;Cassie Ventura, Combs’ former girlfriend, was the key prosecution witness. Testifying for four days, she described her decade-long abusive relationship with Combs. She alleged physical assaults, rapes, and coercion into sex with male escorts at drug-fueled parties called ‘freak-outs’. On the specific incident that underpins the case, she recalled how in 2016, Combs hit her at the InterContinental Hotel in Los Angeles. This was caught on security camera footage exhibited in the courtroom. Ventura also alleged Combs threatened to leak compromising videos of her.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/videos/sean-diddy-comb-sex-trafficking-trial-rappers-defense-team-faces-potential-shake-up-8752840/embed">https://www.wionews.com/videos/sean-diddy-comb-sex-trafficking-trial-rappers-defense-team-faces-potential-shake-up-8752840/embed</a>&nbsp;Israel Florez, a security guard at the InterContinental Hotel in 2016, told the court that he saw Combs and Ventura in an elevator vestibule, and having noted Ventura’s "purple eye".

P Diddy trial: Defence and prosecution have rested their cases in the federal sex trafficking and racketeering trial of disgraced hip hop mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs that ran from May 12 to Tuesday (June 25), with the closing arguments and final verdict expected in the coming weeks. The hearings at the Daniel Patrick Moynihan US Courthouse in New York City before Indian-origin judge Arun Subramanian witnessed sordid details of decades of abuse, wild parties and reckless lifestyle of the man once known as Puff Daddy. He faces charges of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion, and transportation to engage in prostitution. Combs has denied all charges. If convicted and sentenced, it will be yet another downfall of a major hip hop figure of the 21st century. P Diddy trial: what you should know The 55-year-old Combs is accused of using violence and threats against women to force them to take part in drug-fueled sex in parties labelled ‘freakouts’ and ‘kings nights’ for over 20 years. The defence lawyers, who called no witnesses, argued that the whole case is a misrepresentation of consensual relationships. The prosecution rested after over 30 witnesses, while defence called no witness. Combs himself did not testify, but has denied the charges. Closing arguments are scheduled for June 26–27, 2025, followed by jury deliberations. The final verdict is expected before the 4th of July holiday weekend. P Diddy trial recap: Who said what in the testimonies Here is how the trial unfolded, told through the key witnesses: Cassie Ventura, Combs’ former girlfriend, was the key prosecution witness.

She alleged physical assaults, rapes, and coercion into sex with male escorts at drug-fueled parties called ‘freak-outs’. On the specific incident that underpins the case, she recalled how in 2016, Combs hit her at the InterContinental Hotel in Los Angeles.

Sex, drugs, hip hop and jail: P Diddy trial, who said what as defence, prosecution rest case | A total recap

The high-profile sex trafficking trial involving music mogul Sean 'Diddy' Combs is nearing its conclusion. Combs is facing multiple federal charges, including sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation with the intent to engage in prostitution.<h2>Final phase approaches without Diddy's testimony</h2>Now in its sixth week, the trial is expected to wrap up before July 4. According to a report by People, Combs will not be testifying in his defence. The decision comes as both legal teams begin preparing for the final phase of the case, which has captivated both the music industry and the public.<h2>Cassie’s testimony and legal commentary</h2>Earlier in the trial, Combs' ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura took the stand for four days, delivering emotional testimony about 11 years of alleged abuse and drug-fueled “freak off” parties. Despite the powerful statements, former prosecutor Jennifer Biedel believes the case could be losing its strength.&nbsp;“If the jury had to decide today, I don’t think they would convict,” said Biedel, who is now a criminal defence attorney. “This is also because they don't have the benefit of all the rest of the evidence at this point. But to obtain a conviction, the prosecution has to identify the co-conspirators and probably call them as witnesses, at least some of them, and I would have put them earlier, and get some understanding of the scope of what this was, how it started and why."<h2>Additional testimonies from anonymous witnesses</h2>Two other women, using the pseudonyms "Mia" and "Jane", also took the stand and accused Combs of abuse. Their testimonies add to the mounting claims being evaluated by the jury as the trial moves into its closing stages. A third alleged victim was supposed to take the stand, but prosecutors told the court they had been unable to reach her attorney. Combs has pleaded not guilty to all the charges.&nbsp;
