Diddy Turns Down Last-Minute Plea Deal in Federal Sex Trafficking Case
Share and Follow

A jury finds Sean “Diddy” Combs guilty of two counts relating to transporting individuals for prostitution, but the rap mogul is acquitted of the more serious charges of sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy.

The first day of deliberations split the jury, leaving Combs receiving a partial verdict. Jurors sent a note saying they reached a verdict on counts two through five, meaning they were unable to reach a consensus on the racketeering charge, one of the biggest charges.

After the verdict, Combs’ attorneys ask for bail. Judge Arun Subramanian denies bail, sending Combs back behind bars until his sentencing hearing. Combs appeared to believe he would be going home. The court has scheduled the sentencing for October 3, 2025, with the hearing scheduled for next Tuesday.
