Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs to Be Sentenced in October
MANHATTAN, NEW YORK, JUL 9 – Sean 'Diddy' Combs faces sentencing after conviction on two counts of transporting individuals for prostitution in drug-fueled encounters, with a potential prison term of over four years, prosecutors said.
- On July 2, a Manhattan jury acquitted Sean 'Diddy' Combs of sex trafficking and racketeering but convicted him on two counts of interstate prostitution after an eight-week trial with 13 hours of deliberation.
- Prosecutors charged Combs under the Mann Act for transporting ex-girlfriends and escorts across state lines for prostitution, a federal misdemeanor with 21–26 month guidelines, based on allegations of drug-fueled 'freak-offs' involving coercion.
- Judge Arun Subramanian scheduled sentencing for October 3, 2025, denied bail despite partial acquittals, with time served expected to exceed one year.
- Legal experts warn the mixed verdict could discourage abuse victims from coming forward, risking a broader chilling effect on future prosecutions and justice.
