Diddy Convicted, Faces 20 Years After Acquittal

Sean 'Diddy' Combs was acquitted of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking, but found guilty on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution after a high-profile New York federal trial. Judge Arun Subramanian denied Combs' bail request, citing his history of violence and recent video evidence of assault, meaning Combs will remain in jail until his October sentencing, where he faces up to 20 years in prison. The verdict has sparked backlash from survivors' advocates and public figures like Rosie O'Donnell, who argue it highlights systemic failures in addressing coercion and abuse involving powerful individuals. Legal experts note that the judge is expected to weigh Combs’ violent history heavily during sentencing. Combs’ legal team maintains his innocence and plans to keep fighting the charges. The case has fueled debate over justice, celebrity influence, and victim treatment in the entertainment industry.
