 Prosecutors say Sean Combs should not get a new trial

Federal prosecutors argued in a court filing that Sean “Diddy” Combs should not receive a new trial, saying there was “more than a sufficient basis” to support his conviction on two counts of transporting individuals to engage in prostitution. The filing responds to a July 31 motion from Combs’ defense seeking either acquittal or a new trial, following his July 2 acquittal on more serious charges of racketeering and sex trafficking.

Combs’ attorneys argued that the Mann Act, under which he was convicted, was too broadly applied to his case and that the evidence used to support his conviction was insufficient. They also claimed “spillover prejudice” from evidence related to the charges he was acquitted of, which they said unfairly influenced the jury. Prosecutors countered that Combs transported escorts across state lines for paid sexual encounters called “freak-offs,” directed the activities for his own sexual gratification, and personally participated in them. The encounters occurred at residences and hotels across multiple U.S. cities and international locations, with travel arrangements organized at Combs’ direction. He is scheduled for sentencing on October 3.
