Sean “Diddy” Combs received a mixed verdict on Wednesday in its high-profile sexual trading in people trading, which included some main drama. The hip-hop tycoon and entrepreneur were found guilty of the most serious accusations: blackmail of conspiracy and sex trading, which could mean life in prison. However, the jury condemned CombS for the only number of prostitution related, namely violations of the Federal Act on Mann by ensuring interstate travel for paid sexual meetings including girlfriends and men’s sexual staff.

This minor crime still carries a potential sentence for up to 10 years. The sentence came after three tense days of negotiations. Although this belief avoids the worst fees, this belief is expected to effectively end Combs’ career as a music manager, fashion icon and media personality. His lawyers recognized past bad behavior, but claimed he was not a criminal.
The atmosphere of the courtroom was charged when the verdict was read. Combs, 55, seemed to be relieved after the decision of the jury, but grim. At the beginning of the week, the negotiations hit when the jurors reported that they were blocked on the blackmail fee, causing visible anxiety for Combs and its big defensive team.
Faced up to 10 years in prison, probably a career
On the day of the verdicts he arrived to look hopeful, smiled and hugged his supporters, contrast sharply with his reduced behavior the day before he appeared. Before the jury entered, Combs and family members prayed their heads. After the judgment, he shared emotional moments with loved ones, blowing kisses and assured his mother.
The prosecutors argued that Combs had used their immense wealth and power to manipulate women to meet drugs with male sexual workers and crossed the state line. The defense faced the consensual aspects of the swinger lifestyle, the confession of the ridges could be “violent” and “bad friend”, but the duration of his actions is not federal trading in sex or blackmail crimes.
The Mann Act’s belief concerns the organization of traveling specifically for prostitution purposes. Although CombS is exempt from large conspiracy fees, it is now waiting for a conviction scheduled at the end of this year. Legal experts record this belief, even without the threat of punishment of imprisonment, carries a significant time in prison and permanently affects its inheritance.
The court revealed harmful accusations and personal behavior, returning to its former business empire very unlikely, regardless of the prison period.
