Diddy Sentencing Set After Prostitution Conviction

Sean 'Diddy' Combs will be sentenced on October 3 after being found guilty of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution in a federal trial in New York. He was acquitted of sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy charges, which carried a possible life sentence. Combs faces up to 20 years in prison (10 years per count), but prosecutors have recommended a sentence of 51–63 months, while the defense argues for 21–27 months. Judge Arun Subramanian, who is presiding over the case, denied Combs' bail request, citing public safety concerns and evidence of past violence. The judge is not bound by sentencing guidelines and may consider aggravating factors such as video evidence and witness testimony of coercion. Combs has been held in custody since September 2024 and will receive credit for time served.
