A look at the charges and potential sentencing Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs faces in his sex trafficking trial

  • On July 2, the jury of eight men and four women found Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs guilty of two transportation counts but acquitted him of racketeering and sex trafficking.
  • Federal investigations led to Combs's September 2024 arrest, with prosecutors accusing him of operating a decades-long coercion scheme involving racketeering and sex trafficking.
  • Prosecutors presented evidence including over 30 witnesses, digital records, texts, bank statements, audio recordings, and thousands of seized baby oil bottles during the seven-week trial.
  • Following the verdict, Judge Arun Subramanian has yet to schedule sentencing; prosecutors seek up to 20 years, while the defense requests release pending judgment.
  • In the longer term, Combs's conviction could lead to up to a decade in prison, potentially ending his career and impacting his travel, business, and partnerships, with an appeal likely following sentencing.
