How the Diddy case fell apart

from Front Burner

After a long and very public trial, producer and music mogul Sean Diddy Combs has been found not guilty of the most severe charges against him.On Wednesday he was acquitted of racketeering and sex trafficking, but found guilty on lesser charges - two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. This was widely considered as a huge victory for Diddy.During the trial, prosecutors had accused him of running an extensive sex trafficking operation. And that he did so with the help of a network of employees.Diddy's lawyers argued all the sex at issue in the case was consensual.Anoushka Mutanda-Dougherty is a BBC journalist and host of the podcast, Diddy on Trial. She talks to Elaine Chau about the verdict, what led to this win for Diddy in federal court, and what it might mean for the #MeToo movement more broadly.For transcripts of Front Burner, please visit: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/frontburner/transcripts
