On Wednesday , hip-hop mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs was acquitted on the most serious charges of sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy. But while he avoided a lifetime behind bars, legal experts warn that this is far from a final victory. According Radar Online, just hours after the verdict was read, attorney Tony Buzbee—who represents multiple alleged victims—filed three new civil lawsuits and vowed that more are on the way.
The rapper, producer, and entrepreneur was found guilty on two lesser charges: transportation to engage in prostitution, which still carry a possible prison sentence of up to 20 years. Though Combs, 55, left the courtroom without the weight of a racketeering conviction, he may now face a cascade of civil litigation that could inflict major financial and reputational damage.
“We Will Still March On”: The Battle Shifts to Civil Court
Speaking to Radar Online, Buzbee made it clear that the acquittal has not dulled his mission. “What we have learned throughout this criminal trial is that this conduct… was in fact occurring, and it was occurring on a frequent basis,” he said. “There was a constant theme… that P. Diddy, as the head of this alleged RICO organization, would not take no for an answer.”
With new suits already filed in states like Nevada and California, Buzbee says he continues to receive a torrent of new claims. The criminal trial may have concluded, but the civil fight—where the burden of proof is significantly lower—is just beginning.
No Prison for Life, But Financial Ruin Still Possible
While Combs is no longer facing the possibility of a life sentence, he remains at risk of severe consequences. Civil courts could impose substantial financial penalties if juries find the claims credible. “We will still march on,” Buzbee said, adding that civil courts provide a path to justice even when the criminal system does not.
For Combs—whose empire spans music, fashion, and spirits—these lawsuits threaten to bleed into boardrooms and brand partnerships. In the court of public opinion, civil claims carry weight even in the absence of criminal convictions.
Witnesses Still Willing to Testify
Buzbee told that he has spoken to multiple individuals willing to testify about Combs’ “graphic lifestyle” and alleged abuse of power. With the federal trial now concluded, civil courtrooms may soon become the next battlegrounds for these voices to be heard.
Importantly, these new lawsuits allow victims to pursue justice without the higher threshold of “beyond a reasonable doubt” that criminal court requires. That opens the door for broader and more detailed allegations to be examined.
With civil suits filed and more on the way, and with sentencing still pending on two guilty counts, the courtroom may remain a second home for Combs in the foreseeable future.
Because despite today’s partial acquittal, as Buzbee made clear—it’s not over for Diddy yet.
