Sean Combs was convicted of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution.
NEW YORK -- Sean "Diddy" Combs has been convicted of a prostitution-related offense but acquitted on the most serious charges at his New York trial on Wednesday.
Combs was convicted of transporting people across state lines for the purpose of engaging in prostitution. But the jury acquitted him of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking charges, which were related to allegations that he forced girlfriends into hundreds of drug-fueled sex marathons with other men. His lawyers said the women were willing participants.
The mixed result could still put Combs behind bars for up to a decade.
A judge declined to grant bail to Combs, meaning the hip hop mogul won't go free while he awaits sentencing in his sex crimes case. Sentencing has been set for October 3, 2025.

Judge Arun Subramanian said he will not take a partial verdict.
Once the lawyers work out the language, the judge will call the jurors into the courtroom and instruct them to keep deliberating.
Both sides asked the judge to do this, and the judge agreed.
No verdict is being read now.
It is not yet clear whether jurors will continue deliberating tonight or whether they will opt to go home for the day.
About three hours after they asked for testimony from star witness Cassie Ventura and male escort Daniel Phillip, the jury in Sean Combs sex trafficking trial received the transcripts they requested.
The delay was caused in part because of a dispute between the lawyers about how much of the testimony to include.
Defense lawyers wanted to add more - including testimony about the Ventura's $10 million settlement with the Los Angeles InterContinental Hotel - while prosecutors advocated to send a narrower portion of the transcript. After Judge Arun Subramanian suggested sending the jury the entirety of Ventura's testimony - prompting Combs to visibly shake his head at his lawyer - defense lawyers relented and agreed to send a shorter portion of the transcript.
Overall, the testimony the jury requested focuses on three instances that prosecutors highlighted as examples of Combs' alleged sex trafficking of Ventura.
First, the jury requested Ventura's testimony about being assaulted by Combs at the InterContinental Hotel in Los Angeles. She testified that she tried to leave a so-called "freak-off" sexual encounter after Combs gave her a black eye.
The jury also requested testimony given by Ventura and Phillip about an alleged instance in which Combs became violent with Ventura at a New York hotel during a "freak-off."
The last portion of testimony requested by the jury focused on a time when Ventura traveled with Combs overseas to attend the Cannes Film Festival in France.
In the latest note, the jury asked to review the transcripts of Cassie Ventura's testimony about the InterContinental Hotel incident when Combs was caught on security camera attacking her.
The jury also asked for her testimony about a trip she took with Combs to the Cannes Film Festival. On the flight home, Ventura testified that Combs showed her videos of her having sex during "freak offs." She told the jury she thought, "He was going to embarrass me and release them."
The jury asked for a portion of Ventura's testimony about "freak offs" with Daniel Phillip, an escort who was also a witness at trial.
The jury asked for Daniel Phillips' testimony regarding a "freak off "at the Essex Hotel in New York. Phillip testified he saw Ventura "slumped over."
The lawyers are working out which portions of the transcript to send back to the jury room.
For the last 30 minutes, the lawyers have been hunched over their laptops in the courtroom following the latest, as-yet unspecified note from the jury. Combs is on a laptop with one of his lawyers.
The judge and jury have not yet entered the room.
