Summary
Sean “Diddy” Combs will remain in jail until his sentencing later this year after a judge refused his request to be released on bail. The decision follows a mixed verdict that saw him found guilty of some charges but acquitted of the most serious allegations.
Here are the key moments from today at a glance:
A jury of eight men and four women convicted Combs of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution but acquitted him of the more serious charges of racketeering and sex trafficking.
Judge Arun Subramanian denied Combs’s request for bail while he awaits sentencing, citing evidence of violence in his relationships as part of the decision.
Combs faces up to 20 years in prison for the two charges he’s been convicted of. The prosecution said it would seek the maximum sentence. Each count carries up to 10 years.
The judge proposed 3 October as a sentencing date but Combs’s legal team said it would push for expedited sentencing.
Combs told his family after being denied bail: “We’re gonna make it through this I’ll see you when I get out. I love you all. Be strong.”
In a post-court press briefing, the musician’s legal team celebrated the mixed verdict as a “great victory”, criticizing New York prosecutors for charging Combs.
Family and fans of the music mogul embraced in the courtroom. One friend said the verdict moved him to tears.
Combs himself was seen kneeling in prayer after the verdict. “I’m gonna be home soon,” Combs said, smiling and clasping his hands. “I love you. Thank you, I love you.”
The streets outside the courtroom in lower Manhattan were packed with supporters and critics of the star. NYPD officers put up barricades to keep growing crowds at bay.
The attorney for Cassie Ventura, Doug Wigdor, said outside the courthouse that his team is pleased that Sean “Diddy” 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,” he said. “We’re just pleased he still faces substantial jail time.”

The legal team did not take questions from reporters.
Combs’s lawyer Marc Agnifilo said he wouldn’t address the issue of his client being denied bail. “I’m not going to talk about the bail decision because it’s still a pending, unresolved matter,” he said. “The one thing I’m going to leave you with this we are not nearly done fighting. We are just getting started.

Combs’s legal team celebrated the verdict.
“Sean Combs has not sexually assaulted anybody. I’ve been saying this for months. We’ve said it with each lawsuit that came out, and today that was proven true,” his lawyer Teny Geragos said.
“The media got it wrong,” said Anna Estevao, another of his lawyers.
Combs was convicted of transporting prostitutes but acquitted of racketeering and sex trafficking.

Judge says Combs must remain in jail until sentencing given evidence of violent acts he had committed
At the hearing, Judge Arun Subramanian said Combs must remain in federal lockup in Brooklyn for now given the ample evidence presented at trial of violent acts Combs had committed.
“It is impossible for the defendant to demonstrate by clear and convincing evidence that he poses no danger,” Subramanian said.
He said he had denied bail prior to the trial and “sees no reason to reach the opposite conclusion now”.
“At trial, the defense conceded the defendant’s violence in personal relationships saying ‘it happened’ in relation to Cassie Ventura and Jane,” Subramanian said.
He said there was also violence and illegal conduct after the searches on Combs’ homes - when he was aware he was under investigation.
“This highlights a disregard for the rule of law and a propensity of violence,” Subramanian said.

The letter submitted by Combs’s defense team to the judge argues that, since he faces a lighter sentence than he would have if he had been convicted of the more serious counts, he should be released with conditions.
It proposes:
A $1m bond, co-signed by Combs, his mother, sister and the mother of his oldest daughter;
Combs’s travel be restricted to parts of Florida, California, New York and New Jersey. (Combs has homes in Florida and California, and the latter two states would cover visits with attorneys and attendance in court);

Drug testing by pretrial services;
“All other standard conditions of pretrial supervision.”

Sean 'Diddy' Combs awaits bail decision at 5pm ET
While we await the 5pm ET bail hearing, a brief recap.
Combs has been cleared of sex-trafficking and racketeering charges that could have put him behind bars for life but found guilty of lesser prostitution-related offenses.
The verdict is a blow to prosecutors who said the music mogul used “violence and fear” to abuse women, and overall a win for the disgraced star.
The 12-member jury unanimously convicted him on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, but acquitted Combs of racketeering conspiracy and two counts of sex trafficking two of his former romantic partners – Cassie and a woman known in court as “Jane”.
Updated
Outside the courthouse, dozens of Combs’s supporters are still playing music and awaiting the 5pm ET bail hearing.
In a letter to the judge, the prosecution says that the sentencing guidelines range from 51 to 63 months in jail, which is between four and five years, despite previously saying that they would be seeking the maximum 20 years.
“Based only on the preliminary calculations set forth above, the defendant’s guidelines range is at least 51 to 63 months’ imprisonment,” the letter, which is arguing that he should not be released on bail, reads.

Summary of the day so far
Sean “Diddy” Combs has been acquitted of racketeering and sex trafficking but found guilty of two lesser counts of transportation to engage in prostitution relating to Casandra Ventura and a woman named only as “Jane”.
Here is a summary of the key moments of the day:
A jury of eight men and four women returned their verdict on all five counts in the case on Wednesday, after being told to keep deliberating following a partial verdict on Tuesday.
They found Combs NOT GUILTY of racketeering conspiracy; NOT GUILTY of the sex trafficking of Casandra Ventura; NOT GUILTY of the sex trafficking of “Jane”; GUILTY of the transportation to engage in prostitution, related to Casandra Ventura and GUILTY of the transportation to engage in prostitution related to “Jane”.
Combs faces up to 20 years in prison for the two charges he’s been convicted of. The prosecution said it would seek the maximum sentence. Each count carries up to 10 years.
The defense has asked the court that Combs be released from federal detention after being held since September 2024.
Family and fans of the music mogul embraced in the courtroom. One friend said the verdict moved him to tears.
Combs himself was seen kneeling on the ground with his head and arms on his seat after the verdict. “I’m gonna be home soon,” Combs said, smiling and clasping his hands. “I love you. Thank you, I love you.”
The streets outside the courtroom in lower Manhattan were packed with supporters and critics of the star. NYPD officers put up barricades as the crowd was expected to keep growing throughout the day.
The judge, Arun Subramanian, adjourned court until 5pm ET while he decides whether to release Combs on bail. There is no date yet for sentencing.
The attorney for Cassie Ventura, Doug Wigdor, said outside the courthouse that his team is pleased that Sean “Diddy” 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,” he said. “We’re just pleased he still faces substantial jail time.”
Updated
The judge has paused proceedings for the next three hours and told the parties to reconvene at 5pm ET.
Here’s more from the letter as we await the judge’s ruling on whether to release Combs:
Since his arrest and detention on September 17, 2024, Mr Combs has obeyed the court, respected these processings and demonstrated model behavior at the [court].
And today the jury unambiguously rejected the government’s allegations that Mr Combs ran a years-long criminal enterprise or engaged in sex trafficking – the core of the government’s case.
Mr Combs stands convicted of two Mann Act counts, and his sentencing exposure is substantially lower than when the government initially sought detention.
The court should release Mr Combs on the proposed conditions.

Letter arguing for Sean 'Diddy' Combs to get bail released
The judge earlier gave the defence and prosecution a 1pm ET deadline to submit letters arguing their case on whether to release Combs on bail or not.
The six-page lawyer from Combs’s defence team has just been docketed. In it, the music mogul’s team argue that detaining Combs further would be “inappropriate”, citing “the jury’s clear verdict acquitting Mr Combs of the Rico conspiracy and sex-trafficking counts”.

The artist impressions show Combs putting his head on his chair and looking emotional. Other images show Combs putting his hands in prayer while looking up as well as leading his family in a prayer before the verdict was read out.
The lawyer for Dawn Richard, a singer in the former girl group Danity Kane, said his client was still fighting for justice.
Richard had told jurors that Combs threatened to kill her if she told anyone that she saw him physically abusing his longtime girlfriend Casandra “Cassie” Ventura.
Richard’s attorney, Lisa Bloom, said on Wednesday: “Today’s split verdict is a disappointment, but the criminal charges are different than the civil claims we filed and have been fighting against Sean Combs.
“We will continue to aggressively fight our case until we obtain full and complete justice for Dawn.”
Judge says he will decide later today whether to release Combs on bail
Judge Arun Subramanian said he would decide whether to free Combs on bail later in the day, after lawyers on both sides submit written arguments.
The prosecution believes he should remain incarcerated because he is a danger to the community and at risk of fleeing, the Associated Press reported. Assistant US attorney Maurene Comey cited evidence of physical abuse and the “prolific use and distribution of drugs” that was revealed during the trial.
“I do believe we’ll be seeking a substantial period of incarceration,” she said.
Meanwhile Combs’s defense asked for his immediate release because the federal Mann Act crimes were of a “vastly different nature” than sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy.
Combs has been in prison since his September arrest.
Updated
The jury’s acquittal on the most serious charges in Combs’s case signals that the prosecution failed to draw a direct line between his abuse of Cassie Ventura and “Jane” and their participation in the sexual performances, Reuters reports.
The defense acknowledged that Combs engaged in domestic violence, but argued that the two women were strong and independent and consensually took part in his sexual performances. Defense lawyers accused prosecutors of trying to criminalize Combs’s private sex life.
Sarah Krissoff, a former federal prosecutor in Manhattan, told Reuters the jury may have viewed his conduct as evidence of toxic romantic relationships, but not sex trafficking.
“It doesn’t fit what they would expect to be sex trafficking,” she said.

Prosecution statement after Combs verdict announced
The southern district of New York, the prosecutors in the case against Combs, released a statement after the verdict was announced:
Sex crimes deeply scar victims, and the disturbing reality is that sex crimes are all too present in many aspects of our society. Victims endure gut-wrenching physical and mental abuse, leading to lasting trauma. New Yorkers and all Americans want this scourge stopped and perpetrators brought to justice.
Prosecuting sex crimes requires brave victims to come forward and tell their harrowing stories. We and our law enforcement partners recognize the hardships victims endure and have prioritized a victim-centered approach to investigating and prosecuting these cases.
Today we recognize the important work of the SDNY’s Civil Rights Unit as well as the tireless efforts of the women and men at HSI who are devoted to combatting human trafficking. We thank the Special Agents from the U.S. Attorney’s Office of the Southern District of New York, Digital Forensic Unit and the Complex Analytics and Social Media Enhancement (CASE) Team at the New York/New Jersey High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area. We would also like to thank our partners at the NYPD for their assistance in this matter and for sharing our victim-centered approach to combatting sex crimes.

Since Combs’s arrest last September on federal criminal charges for racketeering, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution, a number of podcasters and YouTubers have been notably more sympathetic to him than to the witnesses called for the prosecution.
The allegations about Combs’s behavior are horrific and include shocking revelations about his drug use, sexual indulgences and hair-trigger temper. But you wouldn’t know that from following trial coverage from these faithful evangelists of toxic masculinity.
Combs’s former girlfriend and key witness Cassie Ventura, especially, is an object of their derision, and their assessment of her testimony is withering. In their view, Combs is not a man with incredible power and influence who abused and mistreated those in his circle, but the target of a #MeToo-style witch-hunt orchestrated by Ventura.
Before the verdict was announced, the Guardian’s Andrew Lawrence wrote about how some commentators on Black masculinity are popular pundits on Sean Combs’s case – and explores how they took a clear side:

Key moments from Sean 'Diddy' Combs' trial
As we await the verdict, here are some key moments from the trial:
Casandra “Cassie” Ventura gave harrowing details of her time with Sean “Diddy” Combs in her testimony, including when he assaulted her in 2016 in a Los Angeles hotel corridor which was caught on surveillance camera.
Ventura told the court Combs raped her in 2018 after their breakup. The trial heard Combs told her “he was going to hurt” her and Scott Mescudi, known as the rapper Kid Cudi, when he heard they were dating. Ventura testified that Combs was also violent towards those who worked for him. He would assault some of his employees and attack her friends. In addition to punching people and slamming them into furniture, Ventura said that Combs once dangled one of her friends over a balcony.
Ventura also said that Combs would regularly threaten to publicize videos of her participating in his “freak-offs”. She testified that once on her birthday, Combs reminded her of the videos after she refused to leave her friends and join him in a freak-off. “I feared for my career, my family … It is horrible and disgusting, no one should do that to anyone,” she said.
The “freak-offs” could last two to four days sometimes – with no sleep. Drugs would help them stay awake, Ventura testified. Still, she told the court “I was in love and wanted to make him happy” and “I didn’t know what no could turn into.”
Ventura recalled that Combs had guns in safes in his multiple homes, which alarmed her. She cited one particular incident during which Combs made her carry one of the guns, something he did on multiple occasions, which “terrified” her.
Dawn Richard, a former member of the pop group Danity Kane, also told the court she witnessed Combs physically abuse Cassie Ventura.
Kid Cudi testified that Combs broke into his home in 2011 after discovering that he was dating Combs’s former girlfriend, singer Casandra “Cassie” Ventura, and told the court how a molotov cocktail was thrown at his car a few weeks later.
A former employee of Combs told the trial that he repeatedly threatened her and once forced her to accompany him to the home of Kid Cudi, who Combs allegedly said he was going to “kill”.
Cassie Ventura’s mother, Regina Ventura, told the court she was “scared about my daughter’s safety” and revealed that she had paid Combs $20,000 “to recoup money he had spent” on her daughter “because he was unhappy she was in a relationship with Kid Cudi”.
Bryana Bongolan, a longtime friend of Ventura told the trial the hip-hop mogul dangled her from the balcony of a 17th-floor apartment in 2016.
At one point, Judge Arun Subramanian threatened to remove Combs from court, saying he saw him looking at the jury and “nodding vigorously” during the cross-examination of Bryana Bongolan.
The judge presiding trial dismissed a juror in June over conflicting statements about his residency.
Updated
The defense for Sean “Diddy” Combs maintained that all sexual activity was consensual and part of a “swingers lifestyle”.
They claimed he was being wrongly prosecuted for his private sex life.
Over the course of the seven-week trial, US prosecutors accused Combs of operating his business empire as a criminal enterprise to carry out and conceal crimes including sex-trafficking, kidnapping, arson, bribery, enticement to engage in prostitution, and obstruction of justice. Combs did this, they alleged, with help from employees and close associates.
The government called 34 witnesses to the stand.

A verdict has been reached in Sean 'Diddy' Combs trial
The jury in Sean “Diddy” Combs’ sex-trafficking trial has reached a verdict, they said Wednesday morning.
The jury, composed of eight men and four women, have told the court that they have reached a decision in the case after deliberating since Monday.
The deliberations began on Monday, 30 June.
On Tuesday evening, the jury announced that it had reached a partial verdict, and had come to a decision with regards to four of the five counts – two counts of sex trafficking and two counts transportation to engage in prostitution. But, the jury said that they were unable to come to a decision on the racketeering conspiracy charge.
On Wednesday, the jury announced that it had come to decision on that remaining count.
Combs, 55, was arrested last September, and had pleaded not guilty to one count of racketeering conspiracy, two counts of sex-trafficking and two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. He has remained incarcerated without bail in a federal detention facility in Brooklyn since his September arrest.
