What was Sean “Diddy” Combs accused of? Trial and verdict explored
Combs was accused of forcing his former partners to participate in “freak-offs,” described as prolonged, drug-fueled sexual encounters with male escorts. His former partner, Cassie Ventura, and others testified against him about the alleged abuse and control they experienced.
There were also allegations that he used his influence and resources to run a criminal enterprise that included s*x trafficking of women, along with testimonies about domestic violence incidents. Combs admitted to the domestic violence allegations but did not admit to the non-consensual sexual encounter allegations.
After several weeks of trial, the court found Sean “Diddy” Combs guilty of two counts of transporting individuals for prostitution and a felony violation of the federal Mann Act. However, he was acquitted of the racketeering conspiracy and s*x trafficking charges. Combs' case has garnered significant media attention due to his prominence in the music industry.
Combs and his defense team view the verdict as a win, and his family was in court cheering in his support as the verdict was announced. However, U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian has denied Combs' bail request. He will be sentenced in October 2025 for the crimes he was found guilty of.
Combs' defense team has asked for the hearing to be expedited, and lawyers reportedly met again on July 8, 2025, to further discuss the schedule. Sean “Diddy” Combs faces a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison for each count, but the judge will decide the length of the sentence he will serve. Additionally, Combs would receive 10 months' credit for time already served.
