00:16guilty of transporting sex workers across state lines for days-long hotel parties called freak

00:23offs. He was found not guilty of sex trafficking and racketeering. It's a legal victory for the

00:28fallen rap mogul since he would have faced a minimum sentence of 15 years in prison and maximum

00:34term of life behind bars if found guilty on all charges. His conviction carries no mandatory minimum

00:40and a maximum sentence of 20 years. The jury was not convinced beyond a reasonable doubt that Combs

00:47committed sex trafficking by forcing women to participate in the freak offs or that the rapper

01:03sex trafficking, Cassie paved the way for a jury to find him guilty of transportation to engage in

01:08prostitution. By coming forward with her experience, Cassie has left an indelible mark on both the
