MusicSan ‘Diddy’ Combs requests from the jury verdict and new trial replaced by prostitution questions questions the judges’ decision and says he hired escorts to “amateur porno” by writing

After being convicted of transportation for prostitution, Sean “Diddy” Combs It claims in a new judicial process that the conviction was “unprecedented”. Thus, he argues that the jury verdict must be annulled and the rapper completely acquitted (or the opening of a new “exclusively” trial on these two accusations).

“As far as we know, Mr. Combs He is the only person already convicted of violating the statute for similar conduct, ”says the new 62 -page motion filed at night in a court in the United States.Sean Combs He is stuck based on evidence that he paid escorts and adult artists who were involved in consensual sexual activities with his ex-girlfriends, which he filmed and then watched with them. This is not prostitution and, if it is, your condemnation is unconstitutional. ”

Combs And his lawyers claim that his case is an atypical case under the Mann Law – the federal status that prohibits interstate trade related to prostitution – because Combs “Did not make money” with the activity, there were no minors involved and sex professionals “chose to travel and get involved in the activity voluntarily.” They argue that the acquittal of Combs earlier this month of their most serious accusations of conspiracy for extortion and sexual trafficking proves that he did not coerce with R&B singer Cassie Ventura Or a more recent ex-girlfriend who witnessed under the pseudonym “jane” in the so-called hotel nights where he choreographed sexual acts between women and male companions while masturbating and recording.

“It is undisputed that he had no commercial motivation and that all involved were adults,” says the new process. “The evidence presented in the trial demonstrated that [Combs] He normally hired the services of escorts or male dancers openly announced by legal companies, which men were paid for their time, who liked the activities and had friendships with Mrs. Harshness And Jane, and they didn’t just travel to have sex for money. ”

Combs And his lawyers call the videos he recorded “amateur porn” and say that “paying people to film them in sexual performance is protected by the first amendment.” The process, signed by the lawyer for appeal Combs, Alexandra Shapirosays that at least the rapper is entitled to a new trial, only on the charges of the Mann Law, which does not include the “serious indirect damage” of “little inflammatory evidence” that the jurors heard related to the failed accusations of extortion and sexual trafficking.

Federal prosecutors must respond to the new written motion before the US district judge, Arun Subramaniananalyze the case and make a decision. The main prosecutor who judged the case of Combs, Maureen Comeywas fired by the President’s Department of Justice Donald Trump Two weeks ago. She took care of criminal proceedings against Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwellin New York, who returned to dominate the headlines this month amid the revolt of the Maga (American Republican Party) against the conduct of the investigation of Epstein by the government Trump.

In your final argument in the judgment of Combs, Comey I told the jurors that “it didn’t even pass the laughter test” suggest that Combs He paid the companions only for their time, not for commercial sex. She said it was “common sense” that Combs I paid for sex and not for “a stimulating conversation”. She cited a text message that the music tycoon sent to a Cowboys4Angels escort service manager, in which he complained of having to pay the full price for a companion. “He couldn’t even introduce himself. He was lucky to get something,” he wrote Combs.

“And here is another way of knowing that the defendant knew he was prostituting himself. He said Cassie To be careful to ensure that none of the companions was a police officer disguised. Remember that? She witnessed about it, and you saw some text messages about it as well. It also says what he had in mind. He knows he is hiring people for prostitution. That’s why he even sent a message to a person asking: Hey, are you a police officer? The only reason for worrying about disguised police is knowing that what you are doing is against the law, ”he said Comey in their last words to the jurors on June 30.

In a different request presented last Tuesday, 29, Combs And his lawyers asked the judge Subramanian to release the founder of Bad Boy Records on bail of $ 50 million, awaiting his sentence, now scheduled for October 3. Prosecutors must respond to this request soon.
