New York, New York - Lawyers for Sean "Diddy" Combs have submitted a new motion calling for the rapper to be acquitted or receive a new trial after his conviction in New York earlier this month.

Combs' legal team submitted the motion on Wednesday night, arguing that his conviction on prostitution-related charges under the Mann Act was "unconstitutional," per Us Weekly.

His attorneys claimed that the 55-year-old hip-hop mogul never paid for the transportation of sex workers and did not have sex with any prostitutes.

Instead, they allege that Combs merely watched or filmed the sex acts, noting that courts have upheld that "paying for voyeurism" is not considered prostitution.

"To our knowledge, Mr. Combs is the only person ever convicted of violating the statute for conduct anything like this," the attorneys said.

"It is undisputed that he had no commercial motive and that all involved were adults. The men chose to travel and engage in the activity voluntarily."

The motion further argued that women were not "vulnerable or exploited or trafficked or sexually assaulted" during Combs' infamous "freak-offs" – which were described during his trial as days-long, drug-fuelled sex parties.

Should his conviction not be tossed, his attorneys are seeking a new trial on the two prostitution-related charges.

Combs was convicted of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution on July 2, but was acquitted of far more serious racketeering and sex trafficking charges.

He is set to be sentenced on October 3 and faces a maximum of 20 years in prison.

Earlier this week, reports alleged that President Donald Trump is "seriously" considering granting Combs a pardon ahead of his sentencing.
