Sean Diddy Combs Sentencing Set for October 3 After Split Sex Trafficking Verdict

Sean "P. Diddy" Combs was convicted on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution but acquitted of the more serious charges of sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy after an eight-week trial. Despite defense efforts to expedite his sentencing, prosecutors and defense attorneys agreed to maintain the original sentencing date of October 3, 2025. Diddy remains in custody at the Metropolitan Detention Center as bail requests were repeatedly denied due to concerns over flight risk and community safety. His defense argued for a reduced sentence citing his efforts at self-reform and attendance at batterers program meetings, while prosecutors emphasized his lack of remorse and propensity for violence. The judge also noted Diddy's disregard for the law and plans to consider the time he has already served during sentencing. Public reactions have been mixed, with celebrations from some fans and backlash against certain displays outside the courthouse.
