Sean “Diddy” Combs Guilty On 2 Counts Not Guilty On Most Serious Charges

(Wednesday, July 2, 2025) – A jury of 8 men and four women delivered Sean “Diddy” Combs his fate today finding him guilty of prostitution related charges, but acquitted the music mogul of the more serious offenses of sex trafficking and racketeering.

The mixed verdict came on day three of deliberations and after jurors yesterday told the judge in the case they were not able to reach a consensus on the racketeering charge. The judge ordered them back behind closed doors to deliberate more and after less than an hour today a verdict was reached.

Combs was convicted of flying people around the country, including his then girlfriends and paying male sex workers to engage in sexual encounters with them, a violation of the federal Mann Act.


While found innocent of the most serious charges where he could have faced life in prison, Combs still faces up to 10 years on each of the two lesser offenses when he is sentenced.

The judge must now decide whether or not Combs should be released from prison while he awaits sentencing. His attorneys are hoping that will be the case. But prosecutors argue Combs should remain behind bars.
