Entertainment Oct 01, 2025

Sean "Diddy" Combs, 55, has had his conviction upheld for transporting male escorts across state lines for prostitution involving his ex-girlfriends.
Prosecutors alleged that Combs recorded these encounters and masturbated during them.
He was found not guilty of sex trafficking and racketeering.

Combs's lawyers argued the recordings were free speech

Combs's lawyers argued the recordings were free speech and that he didn't take part in the acts himself, but prosecutors said arranging travel and blackmail was enough to convict him.
The trial included testimony from ex-girlfriends Cassie Ventura and another woman about being pressured into "Freak Off" events through threats and abuse.
Combs is currently jailed in Brooklyn with sentencing set for October 3, 2025.
