But that doesn\u2019t end the saga. The thrust of the prosecution\u2019s case was focused solely on two alleged victims, Cassie and Jane, with whom Sean Combs had long-term relationships. The jury found that he violated federal law with regard to the transportation to engage in prostitution but cleared him on the most three most serious charges.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-body-element-id=\"cjP5C5gLcU\">\n<p class=\"embedParagraph_1I1nW9oF\">&#8216;Perhaps because of the nature of his relationship with those women and the length of those two relationships, I think the jury struggled with the difficult issue of consent and more broadly whether Mr. Combs\u2019 conduct appropriately fit within the RICO statute. &#8216;Our clients were not the focus of the prosecution\u2019s case. And those issues are not present in our cases. Our cases instead focus on discrete wrongful conduct allegedly committed by Mr. Combs that would be considered state law crimes if proven. Now that this spectacle is over, we look forward to aggressively pursuing these civil cases to obtain justice for these alleged victims.&#8217;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-body-element-id=\"zgXK_lMPXU\">\n<p class=\"embedParagraph_1I1nW9oF emptyEmbedParagraph_3ryFL04U\">\n<\/div>\n<div data-body-element-id=\"yOZQnKZqdG\">\n<div class=\"embedDMWrapper_c6nJ9xDY\" data-track-module=\"live-blog-embed\">\n<div class=\"embed-dm-image_32IWLKV6\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-14172627\/Tony-Buzbee-response-Jay-Z-Sean-Combs-raped-MTV-VMAs.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"max-width: 100%;
