Hip-hop mogul argues prostitution conviction should be overturned
Combs was acquitted on sex trafficking, racketeering charges
Sentencing set for October 3 if conviction is upheld
Sean "Diddy" Combs' "commercial voyeurism" does not qualify as prostitution, his defense lawyer argued on Thursday in urging a judge to set aside a jury's verdict finding the hip-hop mogul guilty on prostitution charges.
Combs, 55, faces up to 20 years in prison if the July 2 conviction stands. Jurors found he paid male escorts to travel across state lines to have sex with his girlfriends while he filmed and masturbated, but cleared him of more serious counts of sex trafficking and racketeering.
