Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs jury reaches partial verdict in sex trafficking trial

The jury in Sean “Diddy” Combs’s sex trafficking trial has reached a verdict on four out of five counts against the hip-hop mogul.

The judge indicated that the jury was unable to reach a decision on the most serious charge, racketeering conspiracy, and will continue to deliberate.

Prosecutors and Combs’s defence team said that two days into deliberations is too soon to give up on reaching a verdict on all counts.

Judge Arun Subramanian said he received a note at 4.05pm EST (9.05pm UK) on Tuesday which indicated that the jury had reached a partial verdict.

The note said the jury was unable to reach a unanimous verdict on the racketeering conspiracy charge because there were jurors with “unpersuadable views” on both sides.

Combs has been charged with racketeering conspiracy, two counts of sex trafficking and two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. He denies all charges.

Judge Subramanian advised the court he does not think we are yet at the point of being read the partial verdict, the BBC reported.

Combs is accused of intimidating women, including his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura, into participating in drug-fuelled orgies  known as “freak-offs”.

The days-long parties, which included male escorts, saw participants rub baby oil on each other and have sex as Combs watched, according to court testimony.
