The jury in the Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs case returned their verdicts on five counts on Wednesday morning in New York. Combs was charged with racketeering conspiracy; sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion; transportation to engage in prostitution; a second count of sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion and a second count of transportation to engage in prostitution. The most serious was the racketeering conspiracy charge, which would have seen Combs facing life in prison, if he had been found guilty. Diddy was accused of using his fame and fortune to run a decade-long criminal enterprise in which he controlled and manipulated his longtime girlfriend, R&B singer Cassie Ventura, 38, and others using violence and threats, forcing them into acting out his sick, twisted fantasies with drug-fueled ‘freak off’ sex marathons that went on for day, reports the New York Post. Diddy plead not guilty to all charges of sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution. This is a breaking story, more to come.
