Diddy Guilty of Mann Act Violations, Faces Sentencing

Sean 'Diddy' Combs was acquitted of federal sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy charges but found guilty on two counts of violating the Mann Act for transporting individuals across state lines for prostitution, facing up to 20 years in prison. The verdict followed testimony from ex-girlfriends, including Cassie Ventura, who described alleged abuse and orchestrated drug-fueled sex encounters. Prosecutors argued Combs operated a criminal enterprise through his businesses, while the defense maintained all encounters were consensual and denied any organized crime pattern. The convictions stem from actions that did not require proof of coercion. The case began with Ventura's 2023 lawsuit, leading to a federal investigation and a high-profile trial. The outcome has shocked the entertainment industry, leaving Combs' career and future in jeopardy as sentencing awaits.
