Prosecutors say Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ request for acquittal or new trial should be swiftly rejected
Prosecutors assert overwhelming evidence supports Sean Combs' conviction for organizing interstate prostitution events, urging sentencing without granting his request for acquittal or retrial.
- Federal prosecutors filed papers on August 21, 2025, urging a judge to reject Sean "Diddy" Combs' request for acquittal or a new trial in New York.
- Combs was convicted in July 2025 on two lesser Mann Act charges related to transporting escorts across state lines for prostitution between 2008 and 2024.
- Prosecutors say Combs masterminded multiday, drug-fueled sexual events called "freak-offs" or "hotel nights," involving hiring and directing male sex workers for two ex-girlfriends.
- Prosecutors highlighted strong evidence, including testimony from both women that Combs used threats to release videos as a means of controlling them, and stated that he faces a lengthy prison sentence.
- Combs remains incarcerated without bail, with his sentencing scheduled for October 3, 2025. His attorneys have argued that he deserves minimal or no further prison time, while prosecutors maintain he should serve several years.
