They have now reached a full verdict.

Goes to show once again how much you can get away with if you have money and fame.

I will reply here with my same remarks in the other thread:
Not surprised and as a female I am okay with this EXCEPT for the way that he beat her up! I was talking to another girlfriend last night about it and we agreed that while this lifestyle makes no sense to us, it is what some people do and I am not here to judge how they spend their time and money. Most of these people were there willingly and enjoyed the exposure at the time. Money and drugs bring in some rather odd situations.
I will be booed out of this chat and that is fine also.

I'm sure there's some legal nicety I'm missing, but "transporting someone for prostitution" isn't "sex trafficking?" To my mind, that sounds like the definition of sex trafficking.

Trafficking involves force and coercion and nonconsent.
Prostitution is voluntary exchange of a service for money.
That's the legal distinction, sometimes clear, sometimes not.

I believe the jury got it right. Those involved were willing participants. The prosecution was counting on the distasteful circumstances to influence the jurors and, it seems, it didn't.

Exactly my thoughts.
The jury determined that most participants in everything were there voluntarily and consensually but yes, some prostitutes were hired.

Of course he will skate. A given from the beginning. Because people are afraid of him. Which the related charges are about to begin with. People who are afraid of him and awed by him are at his mercy.
He and others like him can do what they want. Nothing at all wrong with what this fine citizen does.

It sounds like the judge may release him on bail till his sentencing.

From the things I read here, I thought he was found not guilty on all charges.
However, that isn't true, so I'm glad that the jury convicted him on two of the charges. He still faces up to 20 years in jail.
