Sean 'Diddy' Combs' legal team say he will "sleep well" despite being denied bail.
On Wednesday (02.07.25), the 55-year-oldrapper was found guilty on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, but acquitted of racketeering and sex trafficking charges, and he has been denied bail and will remain in jail until sentencing later this year.
After the verdict, one of his lawyer's Anna Estavao told reportedly outside the courthouse that the decision was an "enormous victory and win.
She said: "This is a reminder to everyone I hope of the flaws in the criminal justice system and for everybody to take a second look when the government charges people with crimes.
"This is a huge win. He was acquitted of sex trafficking, acquitted of RICO conspiracy and he will sleep well at night knowing that."
Denying bail, Judge Arun Subramanian noted that prosecutors were right to point out that a Mann Act violation means detention is "mandatory".
Combs was convicted of flying people around the country to engage in sexual encounters.
Combs’ trial, held behind closed doors with no cameras allowed in the courtroom, centred on allegations the rapper ran what prosecutors described as a criminal enterprise involving sexual coercion and violence.
The jury did not convict Combs of racketeering or sex trafficking, instead finding him guilty of transporting individuals across state lines for prostitution.
Combs could face a combined sentence of up to 20 years in federal prison.
