Cassie ”Ventura praised her“ courage ”. He also said that she was “in a good constitution” after Sean Combs was guilty in two of the five charges that had been raised during his eight -week trial against him. Combs was sentenced to the purpose of prostitution for two cases. However, he was acquitted from the more serious charges of sex trade and blackmail.
“This entire criminal proceedings began when our client Cassie Ventura had the courage in November 2023 to submit her civil lawsuit,” said Doug Wigdor in a statement. “Although the jury Combs was not undoubtedly guilty of sex trade with Cassie, she paved the way for a jury to be guilty for the purpose of prostitution for promotion.” Combs agreed with Ventura a day after submitting her lawsuit at the district court of the United States for the southern district of New York.
Sean Combs prostitution judgment: “leave indelible traces in the fight for justice”
Ventura’s lawsuit from November 2023 followed more than 60 other civil lawsuits, in which the mogul, who had fallen unexpectedly, was accused of sexual and physical abuse. “By making her experiences public, Cassie left indelible traces both in the entertainment industry and in the struggle for justice,” added Wigdor.
The Ventura pregnant women in the eighth month testified in the trial against Combs for four days. She reported on an abusive relationship in which she physically abused, forced to sex with male sex workers hired by Combs and was sexually abused after her separation.
“We are glad that he was held responsible for something”
In front of the courthouse, Wigdor said after the verdict: “Of course we would have a conviction about the sexual offenses [und] the rico ranking points desired, but we are glad that he was held responsible for something that has never happened in his life. We hope that he will ultimately receive an appropriate punishment for his deeds, and we are glad that Cassie has brought to light everything that happened in this process … We know that “beyond any reasonable doubt” is a high standard, and we are simply happy that he still has to expect a significant prison sentence. “
Wigdor added that Ventura was in a “good constitution” and was “pleased” that Combs was found guilty in both charges. The charges provide for a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison, but most legal experts assume that Combs will receive a milder punishment due to his lack of punishment.
Sean Combs prostitution judgment: praise for Ventura
Wigdor concluded his written explanation with praise for Ventura, who had registered and testified during the trial. “Without reservation, we have to believe and support our client, who has shown exemplary courage throughout the process. She has demonstrated undeniable strength and focused on the realities of powerful men in our environment and the decades of misconduct that has remained without consequences. This has shown that changes are long overdue, and we will continue to work for the survivors.”
