Overview

  • Federal jurors acquitted Combs of racketeering and sex trafficking but convicted him on two counts of transporting individuals for prostitution.
  • Judge Arun Subramanian rejected a $1 million bail package, citing Combs’s admitted violence and danger to the community.
  • Combs is being held at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center and is set to appear at an October 3 sentencing where he could face up to 20 years in prison.
  • Escort Clayton Howard has filed a new $20 million federal lawsuit against Combs and Cassie Ventura, joining more than 50 other civil claims alleging sexual misconduct.
  • The convictions draw on testimony about choreographed, drug-fueled “freak-off” parties that Combs allegedly organized with former partners and paid escorts.
