What to know about the trial

Sean "Diddy" Combs was acquitted of racketeering and sex trafficking charges today and found guilty on two lesser charges of transportation of former girlfriends for prostitution.

The verdict is seen as a victory for Combs, who was cleared of the most serious charges. His defense team opted not to call witnesses before it rested.

The judge denied bail, and Combs will remain detained until his sentencing, which has been set for this fall.

Prosecutors said they will seek a four- to five-year prison sentence.

Combs has vociferously denied the allegations.
