Overview
- A Manhattan jury found Combs guilty on two federal counts of transporting individuals for prostitution under the Mann Act and cleared him of one racketeering conspiracy charge and both sex trafficking counts
- The verdict concluded a seven-week trial in U.S. District Court that featured graphic testimony from 34 witnesses and review of hundreds of exhibits, including a 2016 hotel surveillance video
- Combs, who pleaded not guilty, denied all allegations and maintained that any sexual encounters were voluntary
- He remains jailed without bail at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn as Judge Arun Subramanian considers a defense bid for his release and sets a date for sentencing
- Each conviction carries up to 10 years in prison, though federal guidelines suggest a combined term of roughly two to five years and a sentencing hearing is expected later this year
