À propos de cet audio
After seven weeks of trial and 34 witnesses, a verdict has been reached: Sean “Diddy” Combs has been found guilty of transportation for prostitution of ex-girlfriends Cassie and an anonymous “Jane” and not guilty on the more serious charges of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking. The rapper had admitted to domestic violence, but always denied any non-consensual sexual encounters or a larger racketeering scheme.
He has been denied bail and is expected to be sentenced on 3 October. He still faces multiple civil lawsuits, covering a wide range of offences, including alleged drugging and sexual assault. Some of the allegations date back to the 1980s. Combs denies the allegations.
In this episode we explain who Diddy is and the key moments of the trial. We unpack the verdict and ask, what is going to happen to Diddy now?
