Sean Combs’ lawyers have asked a judge to overturn his prostitution conviction, citing a lack of similar cases in which he was convicted under the federal Mann Act. The music mogul was found guilty of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, carrying a maximum 10-year prison sentence each. His defense team argued that the alleged sexual encounters were consensual and part of a “swingers’ lifestyle,” and that producing “amateur pornography” is protected by the First Amendment.
