Yeah, they will probably give him probation because there is no reason to keep him behind bars.
Diddy has been arrested.
- Thread starter jagu
- Start date
For real!
Bro, I tried watching that goof on Joy Reid show talk about Puff
He was all giddy and happy like it was over for him and he was about to do 20 years.
I've been asking for a while and even started a thread about him but never got an amswer
It's been real concerning with this going on since he was really into breaking down these legal matters to the board which we needed with this case.
I doubt he would do any time for those charges. Basically he paid people to fuck which was consensual and his charges are technicalities. My assumption would be he would get probation and they move onMaybe.
The judge hasn't sentenced him yet and from what I've read those charges don't have a mandatory minimum so I'm not so confident he's going to get any adequate time for this
Yes, that is correct. I expect he will be released from custody very shortly.
BTW, some of the folks here sound like real bitches.
These charges and trial was bullshit from the start. You don't have to like the man to realize that.
He was basically on trial for being a freak, and doing the same shit all these rich white folks do at their parties; and everyone fell for all the sensationalized shit. There were no "victims" here.
What he was charged with was under the Mann Act, which everyone should look up the history of.
It's a bullshit law only used against Black men.
It was basically enacted back in the day to stop Black men from having sex with white women.
I now expect a flood of more civil suits to follow as this was all just a money grab by folks in the first place and the powers that be trying to put another rich black man in his place just like Cosby.

Puffy a fuck nigga for what he did but he got charged for flying hoes and fags to fuck. Technically we all can be charged for that.
Fool come at me I'd clown him on his bm being a beat up vagina freak off dummy that begged Puff to give her tome off to recuperate
Locked up..?
Yeah basically he is guilty of flying hoes and fags out to fuck. Shit all rich people fly only fans or instagram hoes out to fuck. I don’t agree with Diddy and the shit he did but these charges are bullshit
Normal people threaten to release sex tapes if their parents don't give them $20,000?
Guess Russell is saying "I have a guest room ready.. come on by!"
I didn't say it.
I'm just saying what someone else said on another thread.
So, take it with a grain of salt.
Take dat, take dat, take dat.
Cassie's husband better have a restraining order written up..
I have no idea what you're talking about and what it has to do with this case.
UltraViolet, a women’s rights organization, made a statement in response to the Sean Combs verdict:
“This is a decisive moment for our justice system, one which threatens to undo the sacrifice of courageous survivors who stepped forward to share their stories in this trial, as well as to all those abused by Diddy who weren’t able to,” said Arisha Hatch, the organization’s interim executive director. “Today’s verdict is not just a stain on a criminal justice system that for decades has failed to hold accountable abusers like Diddy, it’s also an indictment of a culture in which not believing women and victims of sexual assault remains endemic. We will continue to stand with the brave women and men who took great risk to reveal the person Diddy really is.”

We will continue to stand with the brave women and men who took great risk to reveal the person Diddy really is.”
The biggest victory for the defense here was convincing jurors that two former girlfriends of Sean Combs — Casandra Ventura and “Jane” — were not coerced into “freak-offs” and “hotel nights,” extended sex sessions with male escorts over a period of years. Through vigorous cross-examinations of witnesses, Mr. Combs’s lawyers pointed to text messages in which the women conveyed enthusiasm for the sexual encounters.
The women testified that they were telling Mr. Combs what they knew he wanted to hear, and that they were stuck in manipulative and controlling relationships. Bottom line: The jury did not view Mr. Combs’s treatment of his girlfriends as sex trafficking.
What is a bit remarkable is that yesterday evening, the jury said it was deadlocked on the racketeering conspiracy charge, which accused Sean Combs of running a criminal enterprise responsible for crimes over two decades. It said there were “unpersuadable” opinions on both sides. Then, this morning, jurors came to a full verdict after less than an hour of deliberations.
Because the jury was not convinced that Mr. Combs was responsible for sex trafficking, you can see how it would have been uncertain on racketeering conspiracy. A significant part of the alleged conspiracy, according to the prosecutors, was based on accusations that Mr. Combs’s employees helped facilitate sex trafficking.

Exactly.
Those so much shit that has been revealed in this trial which people want to overlook to say he's only guilty of being a freak.
What about him breaking into Kid Cudi's house and calling him from there? Or threatening to blow up his car which then happens?
There's been testimony from multiple people confirming he beat Cassie often.
There's so much foul shit that came out I can't see someone acting like he's a victim whether you agree with his charges or not.
Yep and you got folk in this thread talk bout " I'm afraid of what he gone do when released. As if the nigga can Freddy Kruger himself into their dreams and murk them
And when you think about it, for those that say he should be punished for beating Cassie ( Which he wasn't charged with) . Almost a year in jail is his punishment....so that's that

Sean Combs was acquitted on Wednesday of sex trafficking and racketeering charges, but convicted of transportation to engage in prostitution after an eight-week federal trial.
A jury in Manhattan found Mr. Combs, 55, not guilty of the most serious charges against him. Prosecutors had accused the famed producer of coercing two former girlfriends, Casandra Ventura and a woman who testified pseudonymously as “Jane,” into unwanted sex with male prostitutes, aided by a team of pliant employees.
Even with a partial conviction, the result is something of a victory for Mr. Combs, who was elated in court. He had faced a possible life sentence had he been convicted of other counts in the case. He could be sentenced up to a maximum of 20 years in prison on the two transportation for prostitution charges — 10 years for each count — but the final sentence will be up to a judge.

Outside the courthouse on Worth Street following the verdict, throngs of people watched as Sean Combs’s family members exited. There was yelling — some in apparent glee, others in consternation.
Two members of the public got into a shouting match about the trial. One was pleased, the other dismayed, and they were encircled by spectators with cameras. Many content creators continued livestreaming the commotion.

The defense is expected to speak to the media outside the courthouse later today. They still have an important legal battle ahead this afternoon, when a judge will decide whether Sean Combs will be released from detention pending sentencing.

In a statement in response to the verdict, Jay Clayton, interim U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, which prosecuted the case, said: “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.”
Ricky J. Patel, special agent in charge of the New York field office of Homeland Security Investigations, which investigated the case, also signed the statement.

Here’s the latest.
Sean Combs was acquitted on Wednesday of sex trafficking and racketeering charges, but convicted of transportation to engage in prostitution after an eight-week federal trial.
A jury in Manhattan found Mr. Combs, 55, not guilty of the most serious charges against him. Prosecutors had accused the famed producer of coercing two former girlfriends, Casandra Ventura and a woman who testified pseudonymously as “Jane,” into unwanted sex with male prostitutes, aided by a team of pliant employees.
Even with a partial conviction, the result is something of a victory for Mr. Combs, who was elated in court. He had faced a possible life sentence had he been convicted of other counts in the case. He could be sentenced up to a maximum of 20 years in prison on the two transportation for prostitution charges — 10 years for each count — but the final sentence will be up to a judge.
Here’s what else to know:
- Racketeering: Jurors said on Tuesday that there were “unpersuadable opinions on both sides” in regard to the racketeering count. Racketeering law was once intended to combat the Mafia but has become central in cases against R. Kelly, Young Thug, Wall Street executives, gang members and President Trump. Read more >
- Possible release: A defense lawyer immediately asked the judge to release Mr. Combs from jail to await sentencing now that he no longer faces sex-trafficking and racketeering charges. The judge said he would hear arguments on the question before ruling.
- The jury: The racially diverse panel of eight men and four women, ranging in age from 30 to 74, sent several notes to the judge during deliberations, both asking for evidence and expressing concern about one juror. Read more >
- Felony charges: Had he been convicted of sex trafficking, Mr. Combs would have faced a sentence of 15 years to life in prison. The charge of racketeering conspiracy also carries a potential life sentence. Read more >
- Prosecution’s case: Mr. Combs was portrayed as the head of a criminal enterprise who “used power, violence and fear to get what he wanted” in the government’s closing argument. A prosecutor said Mr. Combs used violence, financial control and threats to manipulate his girlfriends into physically taxing sex sessions with hired men, while he masturbated and filmed. Read more >
- Defense’s case: In its closing argument, Mr. Combs’s defense team told jurors that the government’s evidence contradicted its case. It acknowledged that Mr. Combs had engaged in domestic violence and drug use, but argued that the accusation that Mr. Combs was a sex trafficker or criminal ringleader was “badly exaggerated.” Read more >

Then you haven't been following the case to be so dismissive
While smelling like piss.
If he is released on bail until sentencing I think it would be an indication that his sentence will be light.
No matter how they're viewed these are still serious charges so him getting bail to me would mean the judge doesn't see him as a threat and didn't believe most of what the prosecution presented.
