Jury deliberations start in Combs's sex trafficking case

Entertainment

Sean "Diddy" Combs, the 55-year-old music mogul, is on trial facing serious federal charges like racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking.
Prosecutors say he forced two ex-girlfriends into sexual acts with paid male sex workers during drug-fueled parties, using threats and violence to control them.

Combs didn't take the stand

Combs has pleaded not guilty, with his lawyers insisting everything was consensual and just a lifestyle choice.
The prosecution brought in 34 witnesses and security footage showing an alleged assault.
Combs didn't take the stand or call any witnesses himself.
Now, after hearing both sides, a jury of eight men and four women is weighing the evidence before deciding his fate—a case that's drawn huge attention because of Combs's celebrity status and the seriousness of the accusations.
