Complexities in Diddy's Trial Outcome
- Sean Diddy Combs was acquitted on racketeering and sex trafficking charges by force or coercion due to lack of criminal conspiracy evidence.
- The jury found sufficient evidence only for transportation to engage in prostitution charges, implying consent issues complicated the case.
