On July 2, 2025, a New York jury delivered a mixed verdict in Sean “Diddy” Combs’ federal trial, finding him guilty on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution but not guilty on racketeering and sex trafficking charges.

As ABC News and Reuters reported, after three days of deliberation, the jury convicted Combs on Count 3 (transportation to engage in prostitution involving Cassie Ventura) and Count 5 (transportation to engage in prostitution involving “Jane”), each carrying a maximum 10-year sentence. Combs was acquitted on Count 1 (racketeering conspiracy), Count 2 (sex trafficking of Cassie Ventura), and Count 4 (sex trafficking of “Jane”), which carried potential life sentences. The jury initially deadlocked on Count 1 but reached a unanimous decision after Judge Arun Subramanian urged further deliberation.

The seven-week trial, beginning May 12, 2025, featured testimony from 34 prosecution witnesses, including Cassie Ventura and “Jane,” who alleged Combs coerced them into drug-fueled “freak-offs.” A 2016 hotel video showing Combs assaulting Ventura was pivotal. The defence, led by Marc Agnifilo, argued Combs’ actions were consensual, not criminal, and called no witnesses. Agnifilo claimed the prosecution targeted Combs’ private life, a stance echoed by criminal defence attorney David Gelman, who predicted an acquittal due to weak evidence.

Combs appeared relieved in court, making prayer gestures and nodding to the jury after the verdict. His legal team, including Teny Geragos, pushed for a $1 million bond for release, but Combs remains at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Centre pending sentencing discussions. Prosecutors, led by Christy Slavik, emphasised Combs’ use of “power, violence, and fear,” though they failed to secure convictions on the most severe charges. The case’s outcome may end Combs’ career, per ABC News.

The mixed verdict in Combs’ high-profile trial, with convictions on lesser charges, raises questions about celebrity accountability and the limits of federal prosecution. Facing up to 20 years, Combs’ legacy as a hip-hop mogul is at risk. The case, amplified by social media and a new civil lawsuit alleging drugging and rape, underscores public interest in justice and power dynamics.
