Diddy Claims That His Freak Offs Are And Were Constitutionally Protected (8/1/25)

Beyond The Horizon

Sean “Diddy” Combs has filed a motion to overturn his July 2025 convictions on two counts of transportation for prostitution under the federal Mann Act. While a jury acquitted him of racketeering and sex‑trafficking charges, it found him guilty of arranging “freak‑off” parties—sex performances involving escorts crossing state lines. His legal team now argues these gatherings were consensual adult events deliberately recorded as choreographed spectacles—essentially homemade pornography—and therefore qualify as protected expression under the First Amendment
In his lawyers’ filing to Judge Arun Subramanian, Combs maintains there was no commercial motive, that no minors or exploitation were involved, and that he himself did not participate in the sex acts, merely serving as a director and observer. They argue that convicting him under a statute from 1910 without any intention of profit or coercion is unprecedented and unconstitutional. If the judge denies acquittal, they are also requesting a retrial limited to evidence specifically admissible under Mann Act charges—excluding prejudicial material from broader sex trafficking claims
