The day Sean "Diddy" Combs was convicted of transportation to engage in prostitution - but acquitted of the sex trafficking and racketeering charges - his lead defense attorney Marc Agnifilo declared that the verdict was "a great victory" for the disgraced music mogul.

Prosecutors say they now expect music mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs could face a prison sentence "substantially higher" than the four-to-five years they once thought he was likely to face.

Attorneys for Sean "Diddy" Combs late Wednesday filed a motion asking that Combs' conviction earlier this month be thrown out or, barring that, that he be given a new trial.
