Overview

• A federal jury acquitted Combs of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking but found him guilty on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution.
• Judge Arun Subramanian denied his proposed $1 million bail package, keeping him jailed at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center.
• A July 8 court hearing will determine whether to move up his sentencing, which is tentatively scheduled for October 3, 2025.
• Clayton Howard filed a new $10 million civil lawsuit in early July alleging that Combs drugged and sexually assaulted him, adding to prior litigation by Cassie Ventura.
• Industry observers, including Deadline Hollywood’s Dominic Patten, predict that Combs could eventually rehabilitate his public image by following precedents of other prominent figures.
