Diddy Must Stay in Jail After Mixed Verdict Due to Domestic Abuse, Judge Says

Diddy must stay in jail after the verdict in his trial due to domestic abuse of ex-girlfriends Cassie Ventura and a woman named "Jane," a judge ruled.

Sean “Diddy” Combs will remain in custody despite his stunning partial acquittal on sex-trafficking and racketeering charges, after a judge found the rap mogul’s history of domestic violence makes him a danger while awaiting sentencing on his prostitution conviction. A jury cleared Combs Wednesday morning of charges that alleged he operated a criminal syndicate under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act and trafficked singer Cassie Ventura and an anonymous ex-girlfriend dubbed “Jane” for marathon sex with male escorts. They pointed to evidence throughout the trial of Combs’ domestic abuse, including a now-infamous surveillance video of the rapper kicking and ragging Ventura in a Los Angeles hotel hallway in 2016.
