Sean “Diddy” Combs Request to be acquitted on two transport managers to engage in prostitution – or, he wants a new trial.
US Weekly obtained a new request submitted by DIDDY lawyers in the evening on Wednesday July 30, arguing that it did not violate the Mann law, a federal law which prohibits the transport of individuals on state or international lines for the purposes of prostitution.
According to his lawyers, Diddy did not organize transport for people hired for his so -called “freak offs”, and he had no sex with them. His lawyers said that Diddy’s participation was limited to watching and / or filming sexual acts, stressing that “several state courts have judged that paying voyeurism – watching other people have sex – is not prostitution”.
During the Diddy trial, ex-girlfriend Cassie38 years old, testified That a “panic” “essentially implies the hiring of an escort and the implementation of this experience so that I can play for Sean.” She added that Diddy “would actually direct us on what we were doing”. She and another witness – identified only as “Jane Doe” – Both said that Diddy would film these “Freak Sofs”.
“To our knowledge, Mr. Combs is the only person never condemned to have violated the law for conducting something like that,” said the request. “It is indisputable that he had no commercial reason and that all the people involved were adults. Men have chosen to travel and voluntarily engage in activity.
In September 2024, Diddy was accused of federal accusations Including two leaders of transportation to engage in prostitution, two sexual traffic leaders and a racketeering chief. He was rid of sex trafficking and racket conspiracy accusations during his trial, which ended in early July. (Diddy has maintained his innocence since his initial arrest and denied all the accusations against him.)
If Diddy is not acquitted, his lawyers ask the judge Arun Subramanian To grant him a new trial only linked to the two accusations linked to prostitution. They said that a new trial should exclude the video evidence presented during the initial test that showed him Assault of the girlfriend of the Cassie era In a hallway in the hotel in 2016. These images, they said, were admitted with regard to sex trafficking and racketeering charges and was “unrelevant and unjustly harmful” to the two charges of which he was finally found guilty.
“Sean Combs is in prison on the basis of evidence that he paid for escorts and adult male artists who have engaged in consensual sexual activities with his old girlfriends, which he filmed and looked later with the friends,” said the motion. “It is not prostitution, and if this is the case, his condemnation is unconstitutional. The court is expected to grant an acquittal, or to an absolute minimum, a new trial on the Mann law has alone. ”
Diddy was sentenced Of the two transports to engage in prostitution accusations on July 2 after the conclusion of a two -month trial. He could incur up to 20 years in prison less time already purged during his conviction on October 3.
In a Tuesday, July 29, a judicial file, the lawyers of Diddy again asked the judge subramanian of Remove the music magnate under bond while waiting for the October conviction. They ask that he was released on bail of $ 50 million.
“Sean Combs should not be in prison for this conduct”, the request, obtained by Wesaid. “In fact, he may be the only person currently in an American prison to be a kind of John, and certainly the only person in prison for having hired adult male escorts for him and his girlfriend, when he had not even had sex with the escort himself.”
