Jury Continues Deliberations After Reaching Partial Verdict in Sean Combs Sex Trafficking Trial
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here in New York, jurors have reached a verdict in all but one count in
the crimes trial of hip-hop mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs. The judge
overseeing the case said jurors had reached consensus on two counts of
sex trafficking and two prostitution charges, but remain deadlocked over
racketeering charges. Prosecutors accuse Combs of repeatedly assaulting
several women, drugging and coercing women and men to perform sexual
acts, and being part of a criminal organization that engaged in sex
trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, arson, bribery and other crimes
since at least 2008.
