Sean “Diddy” Combs’ fate has been revealed in his highly publicized sex trafficking trial.

What was the Diddy verdict?
Combs, 55, was found not guilty on two counts of sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion; and racketeering conspiracy.
However, he was convicted of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution for his ex-girlfriends Casandra “Cassie” Ventura and Jane Doe.
When asked how they were feeling after hearing the verdict, the dad of seven‘s son Christian said, “Great,” and his three oldest daughters, D’Lila, Jesse and Chance, added, “Good, happy.”
Doug Wigdor, the attorney representing Ventura, told reporters outside the courthouse that his team was pleased that Combs has “finally been held accountable.”
“Of course, we would have liked to have seen a conviction on the sex crimes and RICO, but we understand that ‘beyond a reasonable doubt’ is a high standard,” Wigdor said.
“We’re just pleased he still faces substantial jail time,” he added.
