https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/celebrities/2025/07/02/diddy-verdict-acquitted-racketeering/84246827007/NEW YORK – A jury acquitted Sean "Diddy" Combs on the top charges and convicted him of a lesser sex-crimes charge after nearly two months of his federal trial.
A 12-person jury delivered a bombshell split decision July 2 in Combs' case, which started May 5 in Manhattan federal court. Jurors found Combs guilty of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution but acquitted him on the most serious charge of racketeering and both sex trafficking counts.
Combs' trial was among the most noteworthy of the #MeToo era, following explosive cases against disgraced Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein, R&B singer R. Kelly, and A-list actors Kevin Spacey and Johnny Depp.
