\n\tAfter a seven-week trial, Sean Combs<\/a> was convicted on two of the five felony charges against him<\/a>, but in a boon to the embattled mogul, he was acquitted on the most serious counts.<\/p>\n \n\tThe mixed verdict found Combs guilty on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution related to his\u00a0ex-girlfriend, Casandra \u201cCassie<\/a>\u201d Ventura,\u00a0and an ex-girlfriend who\u00a0testified under the name \u201cJane.\u201d But he was found not guilty on the more severe charges of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking<\/span>.<\/p>\n \n\tHad he been convicted on all charges, or even some of the more serious ones, Combs could have faced up to life in prison. The guilty verdicts for the two prostitution charges could still land him in prison for some time, but the penalty is expected to be much less severe.<\/p>\n \n\tEach violation of the Mann Act carries up to 10 years in prison, meaning Combs technically faces a maximum of 20 years in prison. Most legal experts, however, do not expect Judge Arun Subramanian to hand down such a harsh punishment. Combs has no prior criminal record, which could lead to a more lenient sentence, while Subramanian could also allow him to serve concurrent sentences for the two counts.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\tA sentencing date for Combs has not yet been set.\u00a0<\/p>\n
