Jury reaches partial verdict in Sean “Diddy” Combs trial

New York, NY (ABC News)–The jury in the trial of music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs has reached a partial verdict, but we may not know those results until a decision has been made on all charges.
The jury reached a verdict on counts 2, 3, 4, 5, which are: two counts of sex trafficking by force, two counts of fraud, and transportation to engage in prostitution.
The judge in the case says he will not take a partial verdict and is instructing the jury to keep deliberating.
Combs plead not guilty to all charges.

The highly anticipated trial of hip-hop mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs is nearing its end. Combs has been accused of sex trafficking by force, transportation to engage in prostitution, and racketeering conspiracy as part of a blockbuster federal indictment originally filed in September 2024. He later faced two additional superseding indictments. Combs has pleaded not guilty to all of the charges.

Combs is accused of being the ringleader of an alleged enterprise that “abused, threatened and coerced women” into prolonged, drug-fueled sexual orgies with male prostitutes, which he called “freak-offs,” and then threatened them into silence. Combs has said that all of the sex was consensual and that while his relationships sometimes involved domestic violence, he wasn’t engaged in trafficking.

Combs’ lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, said Combs was simply part of the swinger lifestyle and that he “vehemently denies the accusations made by the SDNY.”
