The jury has reached a verdict on four of the five charges against famous American music producer Sean "Diddy" Combs in his trial for human trafficking and organized crime. However, they could not reach a consensus on the most serious charge of "establishing a criminal organization."
The jury announced that it had reached a decision regarding the four charges related to prostitution and human trafficking. However, it was reported that a common decision had not yet been reached for the charge of "establishing and managing a criminal organization."
If Diddy is found guilty of the prostitution charges, he could face up to 10 years in prison, and if found guilty of human trafficking charges, he could receive at least 15 years. If convicted of the charge of establishing a criminal organization, he could face life imprisonment.
The judge granted the jury additional time to reach a decision on this last charge. The jury will reconvene on Wednesday morning.
According to prosecutors, Sean Combs used his fame and power to control the people around him. It was alleged that he forced his former girlfriend Cassie Ventura and another woman known by the alias "Jane" into sexual encounters that he organized according to his own rules. These meetings sometimes lasted for days, and the women were required to participate even if they were ill.
The prosecution claimed that these actions were carried out under Combs' orders and were hidden thanks to his loyal staff.
Defense: "This Case is Not About Crime, It's About Privacy"
Diddy's lawyer argued that the prosecution's claims were exaggerated and untrue. He stated that the case was actually an invasion of Combs' privacy.
According to the lawyer, these relationships were consensual, and the sexual encounters referred to as "freak-off" were merely recorded videos taken at home.
"Call it a threesome or a swinger party if you want. But these are not crimes; they are part of private life," he said.
He also emphasized that Combs would defend himself to the fullest for things he did not do.
