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.

  • Judge Arun Subramanian set the sentencing date for Sean 'Diddy' Combs on October 3 in New York following the rapper's guilty verdict on two charges related to transportation for prostitution.
  • The sentencing date followed Combs's July 2 conviction while he was acquitted of more serious sex-trafficking and racketeering conspiracy charges carrying potential life sentences.
  • Combs has been held at a Brooklyn federal detention center since September 2024, and his defense agreed to maintain the October 3 sentencing date despite previously seeking to expedite it.
  • Federal guidelines suggest a prison term between two and five years, though prosecutors plan to seek a longer sentence citing Combs's documented violence and violations during investigations.
  • Combs will receive credit for time already served and faces up to 20 years, but legal analysts expect a significantly lighter sentence given the partial acquittal and his defense's arguments.
