Sean Combs stands before this court as a convicted felon of two crimes,” Cassie Ventura’s lawyer tells CNN
Cassie Ventura’s lawyer Douglas Wigdor told CNN following the verdict in Sean “Diddy” Combs’ sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy trial that “there was a lot of mixed emotions in that courtroom” this morning as the verdict was read.
“Obviously, we would’ve liked to have seen convictions on the RICO charges and the sex-trafficking charges, but Cassie prompted this investigation by the Southern District and now Sean Combs stands before this court as a convicted felon of two crimes,” he added.
Widgor added that while this is “not the exact outcome that we wanted,” he and Ventura are grateful to the jury for finding Combs guilty the two counts.
Combs was found guilty on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution and acquitted of the most serious charges of sex trafficking — one count of which directly pertained to Ventura — and racketeering conspiracy.
