Diddy was found guilty . . . and innocent. The jury delivered a split verdict yesterday. He was acquitted of the more serious charges: sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy.
But he was CONVICTED of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. Prosecutors may seek a sentence of up to 20 years . . . but Diddy's lawyers are hopeful he'll only get two.
After the verdict, Diddy knelt down and prayed before being led out of the courtroom as his supporters cheered.
Outside the courthouse, a guy was squirting people with baby oil in celebration.

Diddy was denied bail and will remain behind bars until he's sentenced.

There will be a hearing on expedited sentencing on Tuesday.
