Mixed Verdict in High-Profile Trial
Sean Combs was acquitted of the most serious charges—racketeering and sex trafficking—but found guilty on two counts of transporting individuals for prostitution. The verdict followed an intense 10-week trial in New York.
Judge Denies Bail Request
Despite his legal team’s plea for release, U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian denied bail, citing Combs’ history of violence and potential danger to the community. He will remain in custody at the Metropolitan Detention Center.
Sentencing Date Set for October
Combs is scheduled to be sentenced on October 3, 2025, and faces up to 20 years in prison—10 years for each count. Prosecutors recommend a sentence of 51 to 63 months, factoring in aggravating circumstances.
Celebrity Reactions and Public Debate
The verdict has triggered mixed reactions. While some hail the acquittals as a partial victory, others—including former associates and victims—express disappointment and concern over Combs’ continued influence.
What’s Next for Diddy?
