After a marathon two months and mountains of evidence, Sean 'Diddy' Combs has been convicted of the two least serious charges he faced - and cleared of the most grim.
The rapper, 55, still faces 20 years in prison after being found guilty of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution for his treatment of ex-girlfriends Cassie Ventura and 'Jane', a woman so traumatized she used a pseudonym throughout.
He was found not guilty of racketeering conspiracy - the top charge - and sex trafficking, the most crucial.
