Jury begins deliberating in Sean 'Diddy' Combs' sex trafficking trial
Briefly

Sean 'Diddy' Combs' sex trafficking trial is nearing its conclusion, with the jury beginning deliberations following weeks of emotional testimony. Combs faces serious federal charges including racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking related to alleged misconduct with former girlfriends. Federal prosecutors stressed that Combs utilized power and fear to abuse his status, while the defense claimed the accusations are financially motivated rather than criminal. The high-profile nature of the case draws attention to celebrity privileges and legal accountability as the jury evaluates the evidence presented.
Defense lawyer Marc Agnifilo countered, 'This isn't about crime. It's about money.' He noted that one of Combs' accusers in the criminal case also sued him in civil court.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Christy Slavik said, 'The defendant used power, violence and fear to get what he wanted.' She pointed to his fame and wealth influencing his actions.
