In a courtroom sketch, Sean "Diddy" Combs listens as "Jane" continues her testimony during his sex trafficking trial in New York City.
Music mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs is found not guilty of racketeering, and not guilty of sex trafficking ex-partner Casandra Ventura and another woman referred to as "Jane".
He is found guilty of transportation to engage in prostitution, related to both women.
The trial heard from 34 witnesses over nearly two months, including ex-girlfriends, former employees of Combs, male escorts and federal agents.
Combs, 55, denied all charges.
As the verdict was read out, Combs remained stoic and hard to read, staring forward.
Beforehand, he was praying with his kids and hugging his lawyers.
The judge instructed the courtroom and the overflow room to stay orderly. But the overflow room we are sitting in exploded with noise after each decision was read out.
Combs' supporters are cheering in front of the court.
The charges and the verdicts
To sum up what we just heard in court, it's a mix of guilty and not guilty verdicts:
Racketeering conspiracy: not guilty
Sex trafficking of Cassie Ventura: not guilty
Transportation for prostitution of Ventura and others: guilty
Sex trafficking of woman known as "Jane": not guilty
Transportation for prostitution of "Jane" and others: guilty
A striking verdict in this long legal case
This will no doubt be seen as a victory for Sean Combs and his team.
Transportation to engage in prostitution charges carry the least time in jail time compared to what he could have served.
Central to this case was prosecutors' argument that Combs had forced his former partners into so-called "freak offs" - prolonged, drug-fuelled sexual encounters with male escorts.
We've heard harrowing testimony from Cassie Ventura, his former partner, about how humiliating these encounters were for her.
It's quite striking that he's been found not guilty of racketeering and sex trafficking. Racketeering is a charge that's long been associated with mob or mafia bosses. It was based on the argument that his actions constituted a criminal enterprise that involved many his staff.
That's not the case, according to this jury and verdict.
The maximum amount of jail time he now faces is 10 years for transportation for prostitution. These are the most minor offences that he's been charged with.
