Sean “Diddy Combs‘ highly publicized trial is about to come to an end. Jury deliberations officially began on June 30, 2025, and the verdict could be determined in the coming days. With a jury of eight men and four women, it’s up to them to decide Combs’ fate against prosecutors, who accused Diddy of racketeering and sex trafficking. Meanwhile, his defense team has argued that he did not sex-traffic anyone.
Combs’ ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura took the stand at the beginning of his trial to deliver a chilling testimony of their former volatile relationship. Among Ventura’s claims were that her ex-boyfriend subjected her and others to “freak offs” and physically and sexually abused her while drugging her.

Combs is on trial because he was charged by the federal government with five counts of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution.
It’s unclear when exactly a verdict will be determined, but deliberations began at around 11:30 a.m. on June 30, according to the New York Post. Jurors must weigh the testimonies of multiple witnesses from the weeks-long trial and decide whether or not he is guilty of sex trafficking and racketeering.
If Combs is found guilty on just one of the racketeering or sex trafficking charges, he faces up to life behind bars, according to multiple outlets.
