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.
