Diddy Information Movement for Acquittal or New Trial, Says Mann Act Does not Apply to Him

Diddy needs his conviction on 2 counts of the Mann Act overturned, and if not, he is demanding an entire new trial on these prices … in response to new docs filed late Wednesday evening.

It is fairly beautiful, however within the docs, obtained by TMZ, Diddy and his protection group make the case for Decide Arun Subramanian altering the Mann Act conviction to an acquittal. Here is why … the Mann Act entails transporting somebody throughout state strains for the aim of intercourse.

However, Diddy’s group says they imagine he is the one individual ever convicted beneath this statute who didn’t earn cash off prostitution, didn’t have intercourse with an alleged prostitute and didn’t prepare the prostitute’s transportation.

Translation: he is carried out not one of the issues spelled out within the Mann Act. Bear in mind, through the trial, not one of the intercourse employees, nor Cassie Ventura or “Jane” testified Diddy engaged in intercourse with the intercourse employees. All of them stated he was both watching and/or recording the freak-off classes as the ladies had intercourse with the employed weapons.

Testimony additionally revealed it was sometimes the ladies, not Diddy, who made all of the preparations — journey, compensation and motels — for the intercourse employees concerned within the freak-offs.

Additional, they are saying Diddy’s sexual involvement was principally voyeurism, they usually level out “multiple state courts have held that paying for voyeurism — to watch other people have sex — is not prostitution.”

Now, Diddy additionally says the male intercourse employees they employed weren’t solely consenting, however they “enjoyed the activities and had friendships with [Cassie and “Jane”] and were not merely traveling to have sex for money.”

In different phrases … they had been all good buddies. We’re undecided how a lot of a distinction that can make, legally talking, however there it’s.

Lastly, Diddy says the freak-offs had been protected beneath the First Modification, as a result of they had been recording, or as they put it within the docs … “producing amateur pornography for later private viewing.”

Now, if the court docket doesn’t overturn his Mann Act convictions — counts 3 and 5 within the federal indictment — Diddy’s protection says he deserves a brand new trial, the place solely proof associated to these counts is admitted. Particularly, his legal professionals say that might exclude the Cassie beating video.

In line with the docs, that proof was solely admitted in his trial due to the RICO and intercourse trafficking prices — of which he is been acquitted — and if Diddy had been solely dealing with the Mann Act prices, the notorious Intercontinental Lodge footage would not be related … and would solely be “unfairly prejudicial.”

Diddy’s authorized energy transfer right here comes on the heels of TMZ breaking the story … President Trump is already contemplating a pardon for Diddy, and will decide as quickly because the decide comes to a decision on Diddy’s newest movement to be launched on bail forward of his October sentencing.
