What Is The Mann Act, And Why Does Diddy Feel It Doesn't Apply To Him?

Sean "P. Diddy" Combs discusses the first time he met The Notorious B.I.G.

Sean “Diddy” Combs' trial captured a lot of attention, but if you thought that it coming to an end was the end of the story, get ready, because that’s not the case. While Combs avoided conviction on the most serious charges against him, his lawyers have now moved to have the convictions he received overturned, or at the very least, get Diddy a new trial on the charges.

The issue at hand is a century-old law called the Mann Act. Both of Diddy’s convictions for transporting people across state lines for the purposes of sex are related to the law that's been in effect since 1910. But his lawyers say, according to TMZ, the law shouldn’t have been applied in this case, as Diddy hasn’t actually violated it.
