55-year-old former music mogul was found not guilty of charges including racketeering conspiracy and two counts of sex trafficking involving force, deception, or compulsion. This verdict came despite graphic testimony detailing accusations of sexual misconduct, forced substance abuse, and what was referred to as ‘bizarre sex acts.’

Every instance could result in imprisonment for a maximum of ten years, and federal authorities have affirmed their intention to seek the maximum 20-year term.

The impressive result prompted quick and heartfelt responses throughout the entertainment industry, as Aubrey O’Day, one of Combs’ past proteges, was among the initial voices expressing their opinions.
