A jury in New York reached verdicts on four out of five felony counts against Sean Diddy Combs, including two counts of sex trafficking and two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. The jury could not decide on the racketeering conspiracy charge. Prosecutors argued that Combs operated a criminal enterprise that coerced victims, including his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura, who accused him of abuse and sex trafficking. Combs settled a lawsuit with Ventura for $20 million but later admitted to his wrongdoings following the release of a hotel surveillance video.
Combs was found guilty on four out of five felony counts, including sex trafficking, while the jury could not reach a verdict on the count of racketeering conspiracy.
Prosecutors accused Combs of orchestrating a decades-long criminal enterprise that coerced and abused victims like Cassie Ventura, whose allegations he initially denied.
After a hotel surveillance video surfaced, Combs acknowledged his misconduct in an Instagram video, expressing disgust with his actions following years of denying wrongdoing.
Legal experts noted that the failure to reach a verdict on the racketeering charge leaves the door open for possible retrials or other legal challenges.
