For #MeToo advocates, Diddy verdict is ‘a huge setback’ as powerful men prep comebacks

When Lauren Hersh, the National Director of the Activists Group to combat SEX without exploitation, heard on Wednesday that Sean Didi “Combs” was convicted of only two serious charges against him, and she was saddened by his former partner, Cassandra Ventura and his other accused.

“I think this is a farce,” Hirsch said. “It indicates a deep misunderstanding of sexual trafficking and complicating coercion. Often in these cases, there is intertwining in horrific violence and affection.”

Hirsch, the former head of the sex trafficking unit at the office of the Kings County Lawyer in Brooklyn, said that the Koms ruling – guilty on two charges of transportation to engage in prostitution, but was acquitted on one to blackmail and two sex trafficking – is a mixed message about the behavior of Combs. But it is possible that it is likely to be a step back to raise the movement with strong men to calculate alleged sexual crimes.

In a cultural moment when other music stars such as Marilyn Manson and Chris Brown have installed a successful return after prominent investigations into abuse and lawsuits, Hirsch worries that Didi’s ruling may prevent prosecutors from following up similar cases against strong men and the ability of Mito to seek justice to abuse victims of abuse.

Hirsch said: “It is a huge setback, especially at the moment when the powerful worked continuously without punishment.” “It sends a reference to the victims that despite the movement of Metoo, we are still not present to the victims and understand the context of exploitation. But I hope it will be a teaching moment to link points with trafficking and understand the complexity of coercion.”

The charges against the nations were not a referendum on whether to abuse Venta or countless women and men involved in his “obsessed” concerts, as group drug use is intertwined in a shattered and violent culture about rain.

The Defense team for Koms Marih admitted that his relationship with Ventura was violent, as shown in a notorious video of 2016 from Koms, who beat Ventura in the elevator lobby at the Entertainment Hotel in Los Angeles. In the closing arguments, Mark Agunefilo, one of the Koms lawyer, said that Combes has a drug problem, but he described his relationship with Ventura as a “modern love story” in which he possesses the hip -hop pole “domestic violence” that was afflicted with.

“The defendant adopted the fact that he was an ordinary drug user who regularly participates in home abuse,” Federal Prosecutors wrote in a session on the conditions of the potential guarantee of Kums.

The jury decided that the Koms behavior, whatever it deserves to be denounced, does not exceed the reasonable suspicion of the Organization of Criminal Balance or Sex Trafficking. However, the impact of the issue on the movements within music and other industries to hold the aggressors at his account is uncertain.

Many civilian claims against the music pole are still moving through the court and can affect its exhausted financial resources. Comes’s reputation has been completely contaminated with trial details and strong condemnation from many accused.

However, for the victims’ advocates, the ruling was a bitter disappointment.

The reactions within the world of music were fast and despair. “This makes me physically sick,” said Danie Kane, Aubaei Kane. “Maybe Cassie is very dismay. Oh, I will vomit.”

“I think you love you. Your strength is a beacon for all of the survivors,” wrote the singer Kisha, who filed a lawsuit against the producer, Dr. Locke in 2014. Kisha often changed the lyrics of her single song “Tiktok” in offers to Lambast Combs.

Even Didi’s deduction for a long time seemed that 50 cents recognized his partial victory. He wrote 50 cents on Instagram, before referring to a reputable, reputable crowd to evade convictions. “Rico overcame is gay John Gotti.”

In spite of some of the prominent sexual trafficking that ended in the condemnation, the comments will never be easy.

“In recent years, we have witnessed the trials of Ghamsin Maxwell in the Jeffrey Epstein case, Keith Ranier from NXIVM and R. Kelly, where they are accused to feed the sexual desire of the traders,” Ebiner said. “But this accusation was about Sean Compass, who shares women with people he was paying. He was not receiving money, he wanted to be blamed. This technically fits the definition of sex trafficking, but he was not the evil Congress he was thinking about.”

The obstacles of the defendants to apply against strong men, and to learn about transcendent sexual relations and abuse sexually responsible for reasonable doubt, such issues make the prosecution.

In the absence of convictions, some of the artists accused recently installed a successful return.

The trauma has been under investigation by the Los Angeles Sharif, since 2021, when many women accused him of rape and assault, including the “Western” actor Ivan Rachel Wood and a representative of the “Game of Thrones”, my name is Bianco.

Dist. Atty. Nathan Hoshman said in January that the statute of limitations has exhausted allegations of domestic violence in Manson, and that the prosecutors doubt that they could prove the charges of rape.

“While we cannot provide fees in this matter, we realize that the strong invitation of the women concerned helped to achieve greater awareness of the challenges facing survivors of domestic assault and sexual assault,” Hashman said in a statement.

Bianco told the Times, “Within our poisonous culture, to blame the victim, the lack of understanding of forced control, the complex nature of sexual assault within intimate partnerships, and the laws of restrictions that do not support healing facts, prosecutions often face an obstacle often.

Manson denied all the claims against him. He has since released a new album and launched successful tours.

Meanwhile, the R & B Chris Brown singer was recently the subject of “Chris Brown: History of Violence”, a 2024 documentary that cast a new light on a 2022 lawsuit where Braun’s woman was accused of raping her on a COMBS yacht in 2020.

This lawsuit-one of many civil and criminal allegations submitted against Brown over the years, starting from the 2009 famous incident that his girlfriend Rihanna attacked at the time-was rejected. In 2020, Brown settled another sexual assault on an alleged incident of 2017 at the singer’s house. Brown is currently facing criminal charges in the 2023 accident, as he claimed that he had assaulted a music product with a Tikila bottle in a nightclub in London.

Brown denied the claims in the documentary, and his lawyer described the movie “Al -Shuharah”. Filed a lawsuit against Warner Bruce entertainment for $ 500 million. He is currently on a stadium tour, who will stop at the Sophiel stadium in Englo in September.

Rain, Meanwhile, may still face a set of criminal and civil consequences. It can be judged from any place up to 10 years as a maximum of each of them on all the charges of prostitution, or to a much lower sentence. Some experts said that he could be sentenced to time and stay away from a free man.

Although it is too early to know the type of future that awaits its diseases that must return to public life, it is difficult to imagine a return to the heights of the influence that identified the nineties of his life in Bad Boy Entertainment, or his multimedia personnel in the 2000s. It seems that a fate is similar to former hip-hop singer Russell Simonz-walked with a reputation and unrelated.

However, his supporters mobilized outside the New York courtroom waving children’s oil bottles-notorious details of the trial-at a false celebration by mixing his acquittal on the most dangerous charges.

If Combs wants to return to music, he will have at least one ally in any, a rapper who supports the trapped Nazis who came in court to support rain. It was marked by the imprisoned for his song “Lonly Roads Defere to Sunshine”, and released clothes with the logo of the old Combs fashion brand Sean John.

President Trump, another convicted criminal and an alleged sexual attacker who quickly returned to the highlands of power, said he was open to safety. He said, “It is not a popular competition.” “I will definitely take a look at the facts if I believed that someone might be ill.”
