Sean 'Diddy' Combs acquitted of most serious charges, convicted of prostitution-related offenses

A jury acquitted Sean “Diddy” Combs of sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy but found him guilty of transportation to engage in prostitution in a federal criminal trial. The case featured testimony from Combs’ former girlfriends, Cassie Ventura and a woman known as "Jane," who alleged forced sexual encounters, with Ventura detailing past violence. Despite not denying domestic abuse claims, the defense argued the women consented to the encounters. Prosecutors used video evidence and explicit materials to support their case, while the defense concluded with minimal presentation, and Combs chose not to testify.
