Federal prosecutors are urging a federal judge to quickly reject Sean “Diddy” Combs’ request that he throw out a jury verdict or order a new trial after a jury convicted the music mogul of two prostitution-related charges.

Prosecutors said in papers filed shortly before midnight on Wednesday that Combs masterminded elaborate sexual events for two ex-girlfriends between 2008 and last year that involved hiring male sex workers who sometimes were required to cross multiple state lines to participate.
