Overview

  • A Manhattan jury found Combs not guilty on sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy but convicted him on two counts of transporting individuals for prostitution.
  • During the seven-week trial, jurors heard from 34 witnesses and examined extensive phone records, text messages and financial documents before reaching a split verdict.
  • Combs has been jailed since September 2024 after multiple bail requests were denied over concerns he might tamper with witnesses.
  • His defense argued that his relationships were consensual and has filed motions for release on bail or conditional freedom pending his sentencing.
  • Judge Arun Subramanian will set a date for sentencing on the transport convictions, representing a limited win for prosecutors who had pursued more serious enterprise charges.
