   NEW YORK (AP) — Sean “Diddy” Combs dropped to his knees and prayed in the   
   courtroom after he was acquitted Wednesday of sex trafficking and   
   racketeering charges that could have put one of hip-hop’s celebrated   
   figures behind bars for life. The rapper was convicted of lesser   
   prostitution-related offenses and denied bail as he awaits sentencing.   
      
   His lawyer Marc Agnifilo called the verdict a “great victory” and said the   
   jury “got the situation right — or certainly right enough” as he stood   
   outside Manhattan federal court at a stand of microphones. “Today is a   
   victory of all victories.”   
      
   The mixed verdict capped a sordid legal odyssey that shattered Combs’   
   affable “Puff Daddy” image and derailed his career as a Grammy-winning   
   artist and music executive, fashion entrepreneur, brand ambassador and   
   reality TV star.   
      
   “I’ll see you when I get out,” Combs told family members including his   
   mother and children just before leaving the courtroom for the day. “We’re   
   going to get through this.”   
      
   Combs stands convicted of two counts of a crime — transportation to engage   
   in prostitution — that carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison.   
   But jurors cleared him of three charges, two of which carried a mandatory   
   15 years and a maximum of life.   
      
   He was convicted of flying people around the country, including his   
   girlfriends and male sex workers, to engage in sexual encounters, a felony   
   violation of the federal Mann Act.   
      
   Combs’ lawyers said that under federal sentencing guidelines, he would   
   likely face about two years in prison. Prosecutors, citing Combs’ violence   
   and other factors, said the guidelines would call for at least four to   
   five years. Jailed since his September arrest, Combs has already served   
   nine months.   
      
   He will be raped and killed in prison.
