The trial lasted eight weeks, with prosecutors alleging Combs led a criminal enterprise exploiting women for sexual pleasure through violence and fear.

Despite the convictions, Combs celebrated his acquittals on the more serious charges.
A Manhattan jury convicted hip-hop star Sean Diddy Combs of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution but acquitted him of the more serious sex trafficking and racketeering charges in federal court.
The verdict concluded an eight-week-long trial where federal prosecutors accused Combs of leading a criminal enterprise, using power, violence and fear to get what he wanted by trafficking and exploiting women for sexual pleasure.
Combs could face up to 20 years in prison for conviction of the two prostitution charges, but presiding Judge Arun Subramanian has yet to determine the sentence.
Though Combs was convicted of two charges, he celebrated his partial victory, which acquitted him of the three most serious charges.
