Sean “Diddy” Combs was found guilty of a prostitution-related crime and was cleared of the more serious sex trafficking and racketeering counts.
Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ lawyers have asked a US judge to impose a 14-month prison sentence on the producer and rapper after he was convicted of prostitution-related offences. The music mogul was acquitted on the more serious charges of sex trafficking and racketeering.
After being found guilty of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, the 55-year-old star could spend up to 20 years in prison. Diddy has nevertheless stated that he is appealing his conviction. He has, however, pleaded not guilty. His attorneys have requested a shorter sentence for the star in a recent court filing.
Additionally, they recommended group counseling, drug therapy, and supervised release with a requirement for drug use. The prosecution has until September 29 to make a sentence recommendation, according to his attorneys, and it would be “sufficient, but not more than necessary.”

On October 3, U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian is scheduled to deliver his sentence to Diddy.
The jury found Subramanian not guilty of the more serious charges, according to the lawyers’ argument in the lawyers’ submission.
The jury has already spoken, to put it simply. The attorneys claimed that the verdict is an “affirmative indication of innocence.”
He has spent more than a year in one of America’s most notorious prisons, but he has gotten the most out of it. Mr. Combs needs to return home to his family so that he can continue receiving care and make the most of the next phase of his extraordinary life.
During the two month trial, the court heart how Diddy flew people around the country, including his girlfriends and paid male sex workers, to engage in sexual encounters, a felony violation of the federal Mann Act.
He was acquitted of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking charges, relating to allegations that he forced his former girlfriends into drug-fuelled sex encounters – known as ‘freak-offs.’
Before the jury read the verdict, Diddy requested his family to pray in the courtroom. The rapper apparently began praying after avoiding life in prison for the most serious charge in his case after learning of his fate and coming to knees with his head down in a chair.
His family, who has stood by him throughout the trial, clapped and cheered in the background.
Combs and his defense attorneys exchanged hugs before turning to Brian Steel, the attorney.
