Sean Combs Guilty of Prostitution, Acquitted on Other Charges

4. Which is probably fair considering that paying a prostitute of legal age who doesn't cross state lines

probably gets you more like community service and probation for a first offense. The idea that 'crossing state lines' should logically make the sentence considerably worse is pretty random in my book, especially in consideration of the fact that the history of the Mann Act is has been quite racist in it's (rare) implementation, even if it's original intent was not so much. Originally it was written to keep young white women down on the farm instead of heading off to the big city.
