On whom is Shaun ‘Didi’ Comombs blamed?

The US music Mogul scene “Didi” combs, which was accused of running a huge sex trafficking operation, ended with two convicted decisions and three others being acquitted.

The rapper was convicted in two cases of transportation for the prostitution of his ex -girlfriend, singer how Ventura, and another woman known as “Jane”, who testified in the test.

She was not found guilty of two allegations of sex trafficking in relation to Ms. Ventura and “Jane” along with the most serious allegations of plotting.

The 55 -year -old Combs requested not to be guilty and denied all the allegations against him.

Here is a break of allegations faced by the rapper and how the jury came to its decision.

The conspiracy of the racket, or directing an illegal enterprise under the racketer effects and corrupt organizations Act (RICO), is a formal name for the charge.

The law was designed to pick up the owners of the crowd, but since then it has been used in other trials, which for sex trafficking – such as insulted in the case against R&B singer R. Kelly.

It is sometimes used against a group of defendants. US President Donald Trump and his associates were accused of conspiring to reverse the 2020 election results in Georgia – those allegations were denied.

In order to convince the combs in this charge, the prosecutors had to prove that they used their loyal network of their colleagues to run a criminal venture to commit crime, including sexual trafficking, kidnapping, drugs and hindrance in justice.

In this case, the network would include his employees who argued that the prosecutors argued that played a role in setting up a “freak-off” at the center of the case.

These were long -standing sexual encounters, on which prosecution witnesses stated that they were forced to have sex with male escorts, while Combs saw.

In an raid on his Los Angeles Haveli, the police supplied, which they said that they were for use in the freak-off, including drugs and more than 1,000 bottles of baby oil.

The possibility of the acquittal of Combes on the most serious allegation of racketering will probably be seen as a major victory by his legal team.

His lawyers had asked the witnesses to reduce the allegation whether the employees of the Comombs ever saw the freak-off.

The prosecution star witness Kaisa Ventura said she did not think they were present.

The defense lawyers argued that if members of the comments employees were not deliberately entangled, the matter could not be considered racket.

“Are you joking with me? Are you joking with me?” Defense lawyer Mark Agnifilo said. “Did any witnesses meet at that witness stand and say, ‘Yes, I was part of a raccizing enterprise, I was busy in racketering?”

A criminal defense lawyer and former federal prosecutor Robert Mintz told the BBC that the most challenging allegations for the prosecutors to prove a jury were always the most challenging.

To acquire a punishment, lawyers were required to prove that Comombs established a coordinated plan between himself and at least another person, which, to commit at least two crimes for several years, said Mr. Mintz.

“This is a very complex charge, which is commonly used in the past in organized crime prosecution,” Mr. Mintz said, saying that this charge gave the jury the most difficulty.

Comombs were convicted in two cases of transportation for engaging in prostitution related to Ms. Ventura and an anonymous victim known as “Jane”.

In simple words, this means that the jury found two women guilty of taking them to places where they will participate in sex acts and prostitution.

Gundagardi withdrew the dates of the Honorary Act, which was enacted in 1910.

The Honor Act is an American federal law passed to combat human trafficking and sexual abuse of women.

Initially known as the “White-Sweet Traffic Act”, more than 100 years of law prohibits the transport of individuals in state lines for illegal sexual acts or prostitution.

Both Ms. Ventura and “Jane”, who dated the rapper, testified about “Freak-Offs” or “Hotel Nights” separately. He described them as sexual encounters in which the couple would appoint male escorts to have sex with a female partner, while Comombs saw, recording or directing several times.

In its early days, the Man Act was used by federal prosecutors as a way to criminalize certain forms of consent activity, including inter -caste relations.

The lawyers of Comombs referred to the history that dismissed history in an unsuccessful attempt to receive one of the allegations against the rapper, arguing that he was incorrectly persecuted due to his race.

Transport for prostitution purposes – which was convicted for charge combs – he gives a maximum punishment of 10 years.

Prosecutor Maurin Komi has said that she will push for a full 20 years – a decade for each convict. “It is clear that the defendant pose a threat,” he said.

Comombs have been held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York since his arrest on 16 September 2024.

Critics described the prison as a crowd and understood with the culture of violence.

His lawyers argued for his release, citing the “horrific” terms of the prison, but a federal judge from New York denied the bail request, describing the Comombs as a “serious flight risk”.

After reading the verdict, Comombs lawyer Mark Agnifilo once again asked his client to release with federal detention, until he sentenced him, and suggested a $ 1M bail.

Comombs will be sentenced in later hearing – this date has not yet been determined by Judge Arun Subramanian.

While the wrappers face a maximum sentence of 10 years, it will depend on the judge that he will eventually decide the length of the time he will eventually serve.

Separate, Combes faced many cases, who accuse him of rape and attack.

Texas lawyer Tony Buzbi, who handled some of these cases, said that more than 100 US women and men had either filed cases against Rap Mogul or intended to do so.

In December 2023, a woman, known in court papers as Jane Doe, alleged that she was “raping a gang” by Combes and others in 2003 when she was 17 years old. He said that he was given “abundant drugs and alcohol” before the attack.

The legal team of Comombs dismissed the hurdles of cases as “clear efforts to campaign”.

The current legal issues of Combes began in late 2023 when she was sued by Ms. Ventura for violent misconduct and rape, also known as how.

The day after the suit was filed, one was fixed for an unknown amount, in which Comombs maintained its innocence.

Since then, dozens of others have filed cases alleging sexual harassment allegations of dating back in 1991. He denys all claims.

Her controversial history with Ms. Ventura began again in 2024, when CNN leaked CCTV footage from 2016, in which Combes shown killing her ex -girlfriend, as she lay on the floor of a hotel hallway.

He apologized for his behavior, saying: “I take full responsibility for my actions in that video. I hated when I did so. I am hating now.”

Dozens of potential gamblers were veto by the court.

The process included potential gamblers in potential gamblers and potential gamblers visible through a long list of people, which could be mentioned during testing, which had names such as Kanye West and Kid Qudi.

Potential gamblers also had to fill the questionnaire, asking whether they have “ideas about hip hop artists” or “violence, feelings related to sexual attacks”.

The judge reminded the court several times of the importance of choosing a fair and fair jury.

Combes – also known as Pafi, Puff Daddy, P Didi, Love and Brother Love – emerged in the hip -hop scene in the 1990s.

The success of her early music career included helping to launch the career of Mary J Bligu and Christopher Wolcas

His music label became one of the most important labels in Bad Boy Records Rap and Vishwas was expanded to include Evans, Ma $ E, 112, Maria Kerry and Jennifer Lopez.

Comombs also had a vast trading career outside the music, including a deal with British drink company Diazio to promote the French Vodka brand Chroche.

In 2023, he released his fifth record The Love Album: Off the Grid and earned his first single nomination at the Grammy Awards. He was also named a global icon at the MTV Awards.
