Sean “Diddy” Combs
This week, the verdict for the Diddy trial was announced. There were 5 counts, and the jury found him guilty on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. They found him innocent on the other 3 which included racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion. Based on a lot of the evidence, this comes as a disappointment to many. Victims will feel failed by the justice system but it's likely some will go the civil route, which isn't uncommon in situations such as these. Bail was denied and sentencing will be in October. Based on the current charges, he is facing up to 20 years.
