Jurors in the federal criminal trial of Sean "Diddy" Combs on Wednesday morning found the hip-hop mogul guilty of two of the five counts filed against him, acquitting him of the other three.
The 12-member panel acquitted Combs of racketeering and sex trafficking, but found him guilty of prostitution-related offenses.
After the verdict was read, Judge Arun Subramanian adjourned court while he weighs whether to grant Combs bail before sentencing. The 55-year-old, who could have been sentenced to life in prison had he been convicted of racketeering or sex trafficking, now faces a maximum of 10 years in prison.
