Sean Diddy Acquitted of Sex Trafficking
Hip-hop mogul Sean Diddy acquitted Wednesday of major federal charges including sex trafficking and racketeering but was found guilty on two lesser charges tied to prostitution under the federal Mann Act. The decision marks a dramatic moment in the rapper’s legal battle, sparking mixed reactions across the entertainment world and public.
In Manhattan federal court, Combs dropped to his knees and prayed after the jury cleared him of the most severe accusations. However, he was convicted of transporting individuals—including romantic partners and sex workers—across state lines for sexual purposes. These charges could bring up to 10 years in prison.
Combs, 55, remains in custody and was denied bail, with sentencing expected in October. His legal team, led by Marc Agnifilo, called the partial acquittal a “major victory,” while prosecutors cited the remaining convictions as proof of harm caused.
