A private jet registered to a company owned by Sean Combs is on standby as eight men and four women began deliberations in his sex trafficking trial in Manhattan on Monday.
Deliberations began around 11:30 a.m. Jurors must reach a unanimous verdict in order to avoid a hung jury. Jurors will decide whether Combs is guilty of sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, kidnapping, and transportation for the purposes of prostitution.
Combs smiled at his children as he left the courtroom during deliberations.

Most court watchers believe federal prosecutors didn’t prove their case against Combs. During the 7-week trial, the jury heard from grown men and women who willingly participated in freak-offs with Combs, 55, and his ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, 38.
The jury heard from Cassie herself who admitted she booked the male escorts and paid them in cash. Court watchers say the feds proved only that Combs is freaky and disrespectful toward women.
Two black jurors were removed during the trial for showing signs of favoritism toward Combs.
If Combs is acquitted, he will taste freedom for the first time since his indictment in September 2024.
