what was diddy convicted of

Sean "Diddy" Combs was convicted on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, which is a violation of the federal Mann Act. He was acquitted of the more serious charges of sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy. The convictions relate to him transporting people, including former girlfriends and paid male sex workers, across state lines for illegal sexual activity. In October 2025, he was sentenced to 50 months (just over four years) in prison, fined $500,000, and ordered to serve five years of supervised release following his prison term. During sentencing, the judge emphasized the seriousness of his abuse toward the women involved and rejected the defense's portrayal of the conduct as consensual. Diddy expressed remorse and apologized publicly to his victims, family, and mother.
