Diddy convicted over prostitution, cleared of others
Sean “Diddy” combs were found guilty of crimes against prostitution, but Mogul’s ex -girlfriend was cleared of more serious charges after a criminal case in which two of them expressed their physical and sexual abuse.
Combs was sentenced to transportation to prostitution, but he was acquitted of tribute conspiracy and two points of sex smuggling, a partial win for the former billionaire known to raise the hip-hop in the US culture.
After reading the jury’s decision, his defense lawyer Marc Agnifilo asked Subramanian to release the combs with bail.
“This is his first conviction and this is a crime of prostitution, and therefore he needs to be released under appropriate conditions.” He said.
The combs face a maximum of 10 years of imprisonment in each of the two prostitution.
US Regional Judge Arun Subramanian will determine Combs’ sentence at a later date.
The acquittal in the number of sex smuggling means that he will avoid a 15 -year compulsory minimum sentence.
If he had been convicted of sex smuggling or tribute conspiracy, he might have faced life in prison.
Prosecutors, for twenty years, the business empire of the business empire, two of the romantic partners, sometimes known as “freak -off” with male sex workers in the hotel rooms to force the sexual performances that lasted for days to participate in sexual performances, he says.
During the raids of the prosecutors’ homes, the authorities found drugs and 1000 bottles of baby oil and lubricants to be used for performances.
The 55 -year -old combs claimed that he was not guilty of five points.
His lawyers acknowledged that the founder of Bad Boy Records, who was once the famous Bad Boy Records, for hosting generous parties for cultural elite in luxury places such as Hamptons and Saint-Tropez, was severe in his internal relations.
However, they said that sexual activity defined by prosecutors is based on consent.
The seven -week hearing at the Federal Court of Manhattan revealed the internal functioning of the combs of the Business Empire, and the 12 -member jury rhythm and Blues singer Casandra gave a sincere view of a woman who was known by a woman known by a woman known by Ventura and Jane.
In November 2023, Ventura filed a lawsuit against Combs for sex smuggling, the first of the dozens of civilian case accusing him of abuse.
During his career, the combed combs, also known as Puff Daddy and P. Diddy, once settled to turn artists such as Notorious Big and Usher into stars.
He rejected all injustices.
At the hearing, the jury members showed that he had been kicking and dragging the combs Ventura in the corridor of a intercontinental hotel in Los Angeles in Los Angeles, where he tried to leave a “freak”.
According to prosecutors, physical violence was just a way of forcing Combs to participate in Ventura and Jane to participate in performances – they say that they were exposed to sex smuggling because male escorts were paid.
Both women said that he threatened to hide financial support and to infiltrate sexually open images if they refuse to comply.
“The defendant used power, violence and fear to get what he wanted.” He said.
“He won’t get no for an answer.”
The defense lawyers of the combs argued that their behavior did not mean sex smuggling, even though Combs has committed violence in the context of variable romantic partnerships.
They claimed that Ventura and Jane were strong, independent women who voluntarily participated in sexual performances, because they wanted to please the combs.
