Sean "Diddy" Combs returned to a New York City federal court to appeal his conviction on two prostitution-related charges. While acquitted of racketeering and sex trafficking, his lawyers argue the charges shouldn't apply as his intent was voyeurism, not profit, and the escorts participated voluntarily. They claim his actions were protected under the First Amendment, citing the creation of amateur pornography. Prosecutors disagree, maintaining sufficient evidence supports the conviction. Sentencing is scheduled for October 3rd.
