(CNN) — In a mixed verdict, jurors in Sean “Diddy” Combs’ federal criminal trial found him guilty on two counts.
He was acquitted on the most serious charges he was facing.
The jury in the federal trial of hip hop mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs found him guilty on charges of transportation to engage in prostitution but not guilty of sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy.
The jury – made up of eight men and four women – heard from 34 witnesses called by the prosecution, including two of Combs’ former girlfriends, Cassie Ventura and a woman testifying under the alias “Jane.”
Both women testified that combs forced them to engage in sexual encounters referred to as “freak offs” and “hotel nights.”
Ventura spoke on the stand about the violence she endured throughout the course of her 11-year relationship with Combs. Jurors watched this hotel surveillance video from 2016 showing Combs dragging and kicking Ventura several times throughout the course of the trial.
