| Jungle music purveyor Sean Combs Acquitted on Top Charges, but Awaits Sentencing for Transporting Prostitutes |
| 2025-07-03 |
| The government had a flimsy case and prosecuted Combs, but failed to show it is illegal to be an out of control negro. [NYTimes] Sean Combs, the hip-hop mogul who crafted a business empire around his personal brand, was convicted on Wednesday of transporting prostitutes to participate in his drug-fueled sex marathons, but acquitted of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking, the most serious charges against him. Though Mr. Combs, 55, still faces a potential sentence of as much as 20 years in prison, he and his lawyers were jubilant after the acquittals on the more severe charges in an indictment that accused the famed producer of coercing women into unwanted sex with male prostitutes, aided by a team of pliant employees. A judge ordered the hip-hop producer detained until his sentencing, citing his history of domestic violence. He was found not guilty of sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy. Prosecutors had portrayed Sean Combs as the head of a criminal enterprise who “used power, violence and fear to get what he wanted.” But jurors found him not guilty of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking. |

| #6 The feds flubbed it with Sean Combs — and he’s sure to end up a martyr now Just an FYI: Maurene Comey is a federal prosecutor in the Southern District of New York (SDNY) and is the daughter of former FBI Director James Comey. She has been involved in high-profile cases, including the prosecution of Sean "Diddy" Combs for sex trafficking charges. |

| #4 I doubt he's on a route to reform. He'll likely be in the news again. |

| #3 Well, there was the ever-present violence and threats of violence to coerce. Not exactly a RICO case but assaults and beatings are crimes. He's still a despicable POS |

| #2 Edgy if you didn't follow the trial. The RICO case should never have been brought. The only thing the government proved beyond a reasonable doubt was that Combs used his enterprise for his personal pleasure. Not exactly a crime. |
