Overview

• A Manhattan federal jury found Combs guilty on two counts of transporting individuals for prostitution and acquitted him of racketeering conspiracy and both sex trafficking charges.
• Each transportation conviction carries up to 10 years in prison, exposing Combs to a possible 20-year sentence under federal guidelines.
• Held without bail since his September 2024 arrest, Combs’s attorneys have requested his release pending a sentencing hearing scheduled for later this year.
• Over seven weeks of trial, prosecutors presented testimony from 34 witnesses and surveillance video of Combs’s 2016 assault on his former partner, Casandra Ventura.
• Cassie Ventura described feeling a profound sense of closure and freedom at the trial’s end, even as advocates lamented the jury’s acquittals on the more serious charges.
