Judge to Rule Soon on Diddy's Prostitution Conviction
Sean "Diddy" Combs is awaiting sentencing for arranging travel for prostitution.
His lawyers are trying to get the conviction overturned.
The judge is expected to make a decision soon.
Prosecutors say Combs organized sex performances involving male sex workers and his girlfriends.
If the conviction stands, Combs faces a long prison sentence.
Combs has been denied bail and will have been jailed for nearly 13 months when sentenced.
Judge will rule shortly on whether to overturn Diddy's prostitution-related convictions.
Combs is scheduled to be sentenced on October 3 for arranging interstate travel for prostitution.
Defense argues the charges were improperly brought, citing the "infamous" Mann Act.
Prosecutors assert that the charges were properly brought due to violence, drugs, and sexual diseases involved.
Combs has been denied bail and faces up to 20 years in prison.
