50 Cent, Aubrey O'Day and More React to the Verdict in the Sean 'Diddy' Combs Sex Trafficking Trial
MANHATTAN, NEW YORK, JUL 2 – Sean 'Diddy' Combs was acquitted of sex trafficking and racketeering but convicted on two prostitution-related counts, each carrying up to 10 years in prison, with sentencing pending.
- Last Wednesday, Sean 'Diddy' Combs was acquitted of racketeering and sex trafficking but convicted on two Mann Act prostitution charges, marking a partial legal outcome.
- The case stemmed from allegations by Cassie Ventura since late 2023, with her four-day testimony prompting a wave of civil lawsuits that led to the federal trial.
- Supporting this verdict, CCTV footage from 2016 showed Combs assaulting Ventura, with evidence including sexual acts and bruises, leading to conviction on two transportation counts.
- In response, 50 Cent called Diddy 'the Gay John Gotti' as public attention intensified over potential 10-year sentences for the Mann Act convictions.
- Sentencing for Sean 'Diddy' Combs is scheduled for July 5, with legal arguments to be submitted beforehand, while civil lawsuits remain ongoing.
