Sean Diddy Combs Denied Bail Sentencing Set October

Sean 'Diddy' Combs remains in jail as he awaits sentencing after being acquitted of the most serious charges, including racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking, but found guilty of lesser offenses related to transportation to engage in prostitution involving his ex-partners Casandra 'Cassie' Ventura and another woman known as Jane. U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian denied Combs' bail request, citing evidence of his violent behavior and emphasizing the ongoing debate between prosecutors and defense over an appropriate sentence, with Combs' team seeking about two years and prosecutors pushing for over four years in prison. The sentencing is scheduled for October 3, 2025, though it could be expedited if requested by the defense. Throughout the trial, prosecutors presented extensive testimony, including from Ventura who described alleged abuse and orchestrated sexual events, while the defense denied trafficking allegations, maintaining the encounters were consensual and part of a swinger lifestyle. Combs has been held since his arrest over a year ago, with credit for time served to be applied at sentencing. The case highlights complex issues around wealth, influence, and accountability in high-profile criminal proceedings.
