Prosecutors seek substantial prison term for Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs as they oppose bail
MANHATTAN FEDERAL COURT, NEW YORK CITY, AUG 1 – Prosecutors argue Sean Combs poses a flight risk and danger to the community, seeking a longer prison term than the initial four-to-five years estimated.
- Amid pre-sentencing filings, prosecutors told a Manhattan federal court they oppose bail for Sean 'Diddy' Combs, expecting a sentence substantially higher than four-to-five years before his Oct. 3 sentencing.
- His trial in early July resulted in acquittals and two prostitution convictions, with prosecutors initially expecting a four-to-five-year federal sentencing guidelines range.
- Prosecutors said the federal sentencing guidelines likely call for four-to-five years, while each prostitution-related charge carries a maximum 10-year sentence.
- In the latest ruling, Judge Arun Subramanian denied the bail request, citing lack of clear evidence of no danger and mandatory detention rules, prosecutors said.
- On Thursday, prosecutors warn Judge Arun Subramanian that federal guidelines may lead to a higher sentence, and he could disregard non-mandatory rules.
