Sean “Diddy” Combs has been found guilty of transportation to engage in prostitution following a landmark trial in New York.

Diddy was found not guilty of his serious charges of sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy.

The 55-year-old hip-hop mogul was accused by prosecutors of abusing and coercing three alleged victims, including his former long-term partner, singer and model Cassie Ventura, and other crimes including kidnapping, arson and blackmail.

The more serious charges, of which Diddy has been cleared, carried a life sentence.

However, he still faces up to 20 years in prison after being found guilty of transporting Cassie and another former girlfriend, Jane*, and male sex workers for prostitution.

Videos of “freak off” sex sessions with male escorts were shown to jurors only during the seven-week trial, with the footage kept private from members of the public and media in court.

Former employees, along with escorts, hotel staff and police officers were among those to give evidence.

Cassie, who was heavily pregnant at the time, along with Jane, who used a pseudonym, also testified.

They told the court they were coerced into drug-induced “freak offs” – which were also referred to as “hotel nights” or “wild king nights” – with male escorts, and abused throughout their relationships.

Diddy’s team were able to show to the jury that although he had violent tendencies, was in multiple relationships at the same time & used drugs he wasn’t guilty of his charges.
