Sean ‘Diddy‘ Combs was found not guilty of sex-trafficking and racketeering conspiracy as the bombshell trial presented a cache of suggestive, racy, and allegedly damning images from his heyday.
The 55-year-old music mogul faced life in prison if convicted of the top charge – racketeering conspiracy.
He was convicted of transportation for prostitution, which carries a top sentence of 20 years in prison.
His lawyers asked he be released on a $1million bond, but a judge denied that request. He will remain in custody until his sentencing hearing on October 3.
The court was shown perhaps the most shocking set of images yet with prosecutors unveiling photographs from a raid on his Miami mansion.
The jaw-dropping images showed the guns, drugs, industrial quantities of ‘freak off’ paraphernalia and boxes of women’s high heels that were seized by investigators from Combs’ $40 million home on the ultra-exclusive Star Island.
Jurors were also shown photographs captured the day Combs arrested in a New York City hotel room in September 2024, revealing that he had been preparing for a ‘freak off’ despite knowing he was about to be arrested, prosecutors say.
Deliberations started Monday morning and on Tuesday, the 12 jurors announced they had already come to a consensus on whether to convict the disgraced rapper on charges of sex trafficking by force and transportation to engage in prostitution.
The jurors, however, were deadlocked on whether to convict the Bad Boys for Life artist on racketeering conspiracy charges – which alleged that Combs ran a criminal enterprise to entrap and abuse women.
Here, DailyMail.com reveals the most scandalous and eye-popping images that lift the lid on Diddy’s alleged life of debauchery.
As Sean ‘ Diddy ‘ Combs fights his ongoing federal trial in Manhattan, prosecutors have presented a cache of suggestive, racy and allegedly damning images from his heyday
Perhaps the most shocking images shown during Diddy’s trial came on Monday, where images showed amphetamines and other drugs found in his room at the Park Hyatt Hotel in Midtown Manhattan when he was arrested in September 2024
INSIDE PUFFY’S PLAYROOM
Combs’ sex trafficking trial was shown shocking photos from a raid on his Miami mansion. Homeland Security Special Agent Gerard Gannon talked jurors through the startling exhibits at the Daniel Patrick Moynihan Courthouse in Manhattan Tuesday.
Three large plastic boxes containing at least 26 bottles of Johnson’s Baby Oil and 16 bottles of Astroglide lubricant were snapped during the Star Island raid.
Bizarrely, the boxes also contained at least two rubber ducks of the sort usually favored by children during bath time. Diddy famously loved to use the liquids during ‘freak off’ sex parties.
The latest photo drop from the Star Island raid also includes a creepy image of a mirror covered with scrawls written in lipstick and makeup inside an opulent marble and gold bathroom.
One written in black up high said ‘Onward motion,’ with another message apparently written in the same handwriting below reading: ‘What do you WANT?’
Others were written in red lipstick. ‘You a legend and quite stn Team Puffy’, said one. ‘Love you love Diddy’ said another.
There are several other mirror messages rendered unreadable due to the lighting and reflections from the glass furniture. The mirror sat atop a cluttered vanity covered with skin lotion and mouth wash.

Boxes upon boxes of high heeled platform shoes of the type often worn by strippers were uncovered in the home
Diddy was found to have a large collection of raunchy women’s footwear – as well as rope
Other photos shown to jurors included multiple boxes of vertiginous high heels with huge platforms that are often favored by strippers and pole dancers.
A box that appeared to contain a very revealing lime-colored one-piece bikini sat beside one pair of the shoes.
Diddy was previously accused of using the party drug GBH for freak-offs, and seemingly illicit substances were also seized during the Miami raid.
One brown sachet contained capsules marked ‘golden teachers, 250mg.’ That is a slang term for magic mushrooms. Plastic baggies containing rocks of a dark, crumbly-looking substance were photographed.
Other baggies showed pink, blue and white pills. Subsequent testing established that the drugs found included ketamine, cocaine, MDMA crystal meth and alprazolam – the active ingredient in Xanax.
A box of an upmarket erectile dysfunction drug called Vital Honey was photographed. Vital Honey contains tadalifil – the main ingredient in Cialis, a more powerful alternative to Viagra.
A box of nitrous oxide that may have been used as a party drug was visible, as was a bright green suitcase emblazoned with the word ‘Diddy’ that was used for transporting marijuana.
One of the famously well-groomed star’s beauty secrets was also busted by the raid.
Boxes of Just For Men black hair dye were visible on a closet shelf.
Dozens of bottles of baby oil and Astroglide lubricant were uncovered during the raid – as well as a box of nitrous oxide

AUTOMATIC WEAPONS SEIZED FROM MANSION
Jurors were shown shown images Tuesday of weapons seized during a March 2024 raid on Diddy’s mansion after an armored vehicle was used to smash open its gates.
The images, shared with the public on Wednesday morning, include parts of AR-15 rifles. One of the guns had a ‘red dot’ viewer that would have made it easier to hit a target.
Gannon told the court that the weapon had their serial numbers removed which would have made it difficult or ‘impossible’ to trace them.
In a dramatic moment, he was asked to open an evidence bag in a cart next to him with scissors and stand before the jury holding up the upper part of the AR-15 rifle.
Gannon assured the jury the gun had been rendered safe and held it up with both hands: jurors craned their necks to see.

DIDDY’S HOTEL ROOM ARREST
Gasps were reportedly heard inside the Manhattan courtroom when the images from inside Diddy’s hotel room arrest were revealed this week.
Images taken inside the room show an arrangement of baby oil – a product now intrinsically linked with Diddy’s sex trafficking case – near to a mysterious pink powder in small bags.
Pills in bottles prescribed to ‘Frank Black’, a possible pseudonym for Combs, were also in the room, alongside mood lighting and stacks of cash.
Prosecutors claimed some drugs found in the room were found to be ketamine and MDMA, and Cassie testified that ‘pungent’ candles were also a common theme in the freak offs.

THE TRIP THAT CHANGED EVERYTHING
Cassie told the court that when she first met Combs almost 20 years ago, their relationship was a platonic mentorship to help her music career.
But she said everything changed shortly after she turned 21, when they had sex for the first time on a trip to Miami and their tryst escalated.
She said they had been day-drinking on a boat party and alleged that Diddy gave her an ecstasy pill shaped like a blue dolphin.
‘We were just having a good time,’ she recalled.
Cassie also testified about the start of her relationship with Diddy, saying it was initially a platonic mentorship before it became romantic during a trip to Miami when she celebrated her 21st birthday (pictured on the trip)

BEHIND THE SCENES AT THE FREAK OFFS
Cassie offered intimate details of how particular Diddy allegedly was about his ‘freak-off’ sessions as prosecutors showed behind-the-scenes images from preparations for the events.
In one image, Cassie was seen wearing a long thigh-high lace boot, and she said she often wore outfits and wigs during the marathon sexual performances.
Cassie also alleged that Diddy would use mood lighting and a ‘red room’ to set the tone for the hours-long sessions.

CASSIE’S BUSTED LIP
Diddy’s ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura took the stand for over four days at the start of the high-profile trial, where she claimed she suffered years of abuse and was coerced into the ‘freak offs.’
At the conclusion of her testimony, prosecutors showed an image of the singer with a busted lip.
Cassie said she sustained the injury in a horror episode inside a Los Angeles hotel where Combs was caught on surveillance footage kicking and stomping on her.
‘That’s me, a selfie of me with a fat lip,’ the singer said in court when questioned over the picture.
In another injury picture, Cassie was seen with a large cut over her eye that she alleged happened when Diddy threw her into a bed frame in Canada.

A-LISTERS AT INFAMOUS ‘DIDDY PARTIES’
Throughout the weeks-long trial, a number of A-list celebrities and high-profile figures have been named and seen in pictures related to Diddy’s notorious parties.
Not all celebrities in the images are accused of any wrongdoing, but were seen living it up at the same parties where women were allegedly drugged and coerced.
Stars including Leo DiCaprio have been snapped at the bashes, including one where The Revenant actor sipped champagne surrounded by Diddy and other attendees.
Other pictures showed Cassie and Diddy lounging on a couch outside as other women joined them, and in another Cassie was seen partying with former best friend Kerry Morgan for her 21st birthday.

CASSIE AND DIDDY’S TEXTS
While most of the eye-grabbing images have come from prosecutors and civil plaintiffs, Diddy’s legal team introduced salacious text messages that offer an insight into his fateful relationship with Cassie.
The texts showed Cassie saying she ‘loved’ the freak offs that she testified were forced upon her.
Diddy’s lawyer Anna Estevao used the messages in court on Thursday in an effort to paint Cassie, 38, as a willing participant in the drug-fueled sex sessions that could last up to four days.
‘I love our FOs when we both want it,’ she wrote in one missive, adding: ‘I want to Freak Off right now LOL. I want to have fun with you.’
Diddy replied: ‘Let me know if you want to have a late night. Jules is available. If you’re not into that NP. We can just do a thing. Love you.’
Cassie simply replies with a ‘love you’ back.

INSIDE DIDDY’S TRASHED MIAMI MANSION
Photos exclusively revealed by DailyMail.com following a raid on Diddy’s mansion in Miami in March 2024 showed the property was turned upside down by feds.
The raid took center stage at Diddy’s trial this week as agents testified that they found ‘parts of AR-15 rifles’ in the mansion.
They said they also found ‘sex toys and Astroglide’, and an agent said the serial numbers had been scratched off weapons to make them untraceable.
In photos exclusively obtained by DailyMail.com, we see inside the Florida mansion on Star Island to see several disheveled rooms, bedrooms turned over and drawers rifled through following a raid in March 2024

RAPPER’S VODKA-FUELED GLARE
Before the rapper’s criminal trial got underway, Diddy was hit with a raft of civil lawsuits that included shocking images from his notorious parties.
In a lawsuit filed in October 2024, a month after his arrest, images from the filing offered a behind-the-scenes look at the events.
Combs is seen dancing with young women in a Las Vegas hotel room party, and in another picture he sat at a table surrounded by bottles of Diddy’s own vodka brand Ciroc.
He appeared to catch the person photographing him in the act, and in the next image Diddy was seen glaring at them across the table.
The images were filed by a woman who alleged that she was drugged with the date-rape drug GHB, with another picture showing a small plastic container she alleged was used.

KID CUDI’S ‘FIREBOMBED’ CAR
The rapper, whose real name Scott Mescudi, testified that Combs broke into his Hollywood Hills home in 2011 after finding out he was dating Cassie, and that someone set fire to his car weeks later.
According to Mescudi, he broke up with Ventura in late 2011 ‘for her safety, for my safety… because I knew Sean Combs was violent.’
But on January 9 2012 at 6:30am, Mescudi got a call from his dog sitter saying his Porsche was on fire.
The jury was shown photos of the car showing the door covered in black smoke, the red leather seats covered in black stains and the roof slashed. They appear to show evidence of the Molotov cocktail which the rapper told a court was thrown through the roof of his convertible.
The vehicle’s interior was charred and burnt and the red leather on the driver’s seat was melted away.
The car’s soft top appeared to have a gaping hole in the middle. Another photograph shows the blackened inside of one of the car’s doors and window.
‘Looks like the top of my Porsche was cut open, that’s where they inserted the Molotov cocktail,’ Mescudi said of one of the images shown to the jury.

CASSIE’S LATE NIGHT SELFIE
Cassie sent a selfie to her longtime stylist Deonte Nash while under the influence, Diddy’s federal sex trafficking trial was told.
Jurors were presented with a series of text messages between Ventura and Nash that were sent just after 4am on March 19, 2016.
In the exchange, Cassie sent her a stylist a selfie, which appeared to be taken in bed, captioned: ‘Look at my Durga gra!’
Nash complemented the R&B singer before asking her what she was doing, prompting Cassie to launch a rant criticizing an individual presumed to be Diddy.
She alleged that he was ‘wasted’ before admitting she was also under the influence.
‘We both did the same of everything but he’s trippin,’ she wrote, adding in another message that she ‘tried to stop him from embarrassing himself’.
Nash urged Cassie to ‘act asleep’ before sharing some song recommendations on Apple music, the text thread showed.
Nash, who was called to the stand during Diddy’s sex trafficking trial, told jurors that Cassie confided to him that Combs had pressured her into sex marathons.
Nash said he remains close with Cassie, even advising her on her trial wardrobe. He also said he contacted her on May 27 to congratulate her on the birth of her third child.

BRYANA BONGOLAN’S INJURIES
Cassie’s friend testified that Diddy dangled her over a 17th-floor apartment balcony for 10 to 15 minutes in Los Angeles in 2016 when he was angry with her.
She said it has left her so traumatized that she still has nightmares, nine years later.
Defense lawyer Nicole Westmoreland noted that Combs might not have even been in Los Angeles when Bongolan alleges he dangled her a 17th-floor balcony.
On September 26, the day the injury photos were taken, Diddy and his then-girlfriend Cassie were in New York City attending a charity benefit, Westmoreland said.
The lawyer also showed jurors an invoice showing Combs was staying at a Manhattan hotel from September 24 to September 29. Diddy’s tour resumed in Oakland, California, on September 30.
‘You agree that one person can’t be in two places at the same time,’ Westmoreland asked the witness.
Bongolan responded: ‘In like theory, yeah. It’s hard to answer that one.’

DIDDY’S HUGE STASH OF BABY OIL, LINGERIE AND ASTROGLIDE
Images released just before closing arguments began revealed Diddy’s trove of items, including baby oil, lingerie and Astroglide.
An array of images were shown to the court, including collections of lingerie laid out, a stockpile of baby oil and lubricant, and even an image of him appearing to get a massage.

The items were collected by Homeland Security officials during the March 2024 raid at the disgraced Bad Boy mogul’s mansion in the exclusive Holmby Hills area of Los Angeles.
It appeared the baby oil was kept in a luxury humidor designed to maintain humidity levels for cigars.
Throughout the course of the trial, jurors have heard how the mogul used baby oil in marathon sex sessions called ‘freak offs’ or ‘king nights’ involving ex-girlfriends and escorts.
