What’s Next After Diddy’s Partial Acquittal on Sex-Trafficking and Racketeering?
Diddy will face a lengthy sentencing process now that he's been convicted of illegal prostitution but acquitted of sex-trafficking and racketeering.
Sean “Diddy” Combs has been convicted of illegal prostitution but acquitted of meatier sex-trafficking and racketeering charges, a significant legal victory for the disgraced rap mogul who faced up to life in prison if found guilty on all counts. The charges that Combs was found guilty of – transporting escorts across state lines for marathon sex parties called “freak-offs” – carry no mandatory minimum and a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison. Prosecutor Maureen Comey opposed the request, saying her office intends to seek prison time and noting that Combs “continued to commit a litany of crimes” after he knew he was under investigation last year.
