Sean Diddy Combs Sentenced to 50 Months in Federal Prison for Prostitution Charges

Sean "Diddy" Combs was sentenced to 50 months in federal prison for prostitution-related charges, specifically for transporting individuals across state lines for sexual encounters, under the Mann Act. Although acquitted on more serious racketeering and sex trafficking charges, he faces a substantial punishment, including a maximum fine of $500,000. Combs, who has already served over a year in a Brooklyn jail, will likely serve the remainder of his sentence in one of the harshest federal prisons in the United States, according to his son's defense attorney. His lawyers contend the legal grounds for his conviction and sentence are unclear, and he is currently appealing the verdict. Meanwhile, family disputes have arisen over Combs' financial empire, as his mother and children contest control amid dwindling funds. The case drew significant attention due to the involvement of his former partner, Cassie Ventura, who testified during the trial.
