Diddy Fans Pouring Baby Oil on Each Other Outside Courthouse, Verdict Explained by Legal Analyst

  • On Wednesday in Manhattan federal court, Sean 'Diddy' Combs was found guilty of two prostitution transportation charges and cleared of racketeering and sex trafficking allegations.
  • Federal prosecutors allege that Combs orchestrated decades-long 'freak-off' parties involving drug-fueled sex acts, supported by the seizure of over 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant during raids.
  • Prosecutors presented videos of 'freak-off' parties and seized hundreds of baby oil bottles, with assistants testifying they stocked hotel rooms for these events.
  • A hearing next week will schedule Combs's sentencing, with potential penalties of up to 20 years in prison for the transportation counts.
  • Beyond the criminal case, civil lawsuits are expected to persist across multiple jurisdictions, with dozens of survivors pursuing claims amid ongoing legal proceedings.
