Diddy Faces Sentencing After Prostitution Conviction

Sean 'Diddy' Combs was convicted on two felony counts of transportation to engage in prostitution and acquitted of sex trafficking and racketeering charges following a seven-week trial. Judge Arun Subramanian denied bail, citing Combs' propensity for violence and witness concerns, including those from Cassie Ventura. Legal analysts predict Combs could serve only 18 to 21 months, despite facing up to 20 years, with credit for nearly 10 months already served. The verdict has drawn criticism from sexual violence advocates and former associates like Aubrey O’Day, who argue it highlights the limitations of the justice system in handling abuse by powerful figures. The case has reignited debate about the effectiveness of the #MeToo movement and justice for survivors. Sentencing is expected in October, though legal teams may seek to expedite the process.
