Why Diddy Is Celebrating His Guilty Verdict
Briefly

Sean "Diddy" Combs has undergone a significant reputational shift from playboy to villain, facing serious allegations including abuse and sex trafficking. He was convicted of two charges of transportation to engage in prostitution after a trial lasting seven weeks. Although these charges could lead to a 20-year sentence, they are less severe than the counts he was acquitted of, which included sex trafficking. Cassie Ventura's lawsuit against Combs laid the foundation for the prosecution's case, revealing years of alleged abuse and coercion involving sex workers.
The saga began in November 2023, when the singer Cassie Ventura filed a lawsuit against Combs, alleging years of abuse and manipulation, including coercion into "freak-offs."
Finally, after a seven-week trial in Manhattan, Sean Combs was convicted of two charges related to transportation to engage in prostitution, which could lead to up to 20 years in prison.
