"Prosecutors accused Combs of masterminding a decades-long criminal enterprise that abused, threatened, and coerced his victims. He was facing five total felony counts: one of racketeering conspiracy, two counts of sex trafficking, and two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. In July, the jury found Combs guilty of two of the five counts against him after three days of deliberations, acquitting the rap mogul on the most serious charges but finding him guilty on the two prostitution-related charges."
"Prosecutors had sought a sentence of 135 months; the defense had argued for 14 months, roughly just time served. On October, 3, the judge sentenced C0mbs to 50 months in prison. After taking into account time served Combs has been held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn since he was arrested in September 2024 his release date has been set for May 8, 2028, according to the Federal Bureau of Prison's public records."
"Combs will also have to pay a $500,000 fine, reported Fox News. He will be under five years of supervised release after his incarceration ends, including mandatory meetings with his probation officers, regular drug tests, and other monitoring. His attorneys have said they intend to appeal his sentence, and because this was a federal case, the possibility of a pardon or commutation from President Donald Trump is still a possibility."
Sean 'Diddy' Combs was convicted on two prostitution-related charges while acquitted on more serious sex trafficking and racketeering allegations. The judge sentenced Combs to 50 months in prison on October 3, with credit for time already served at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. Federal Bureau of Prisons records list his release date as May 8, 2028. Combs faces a $500,000 fine and five years of supervised release, including mandatory probation meetings, regular drug testing, and monitoring. Prosecutors sought 135 months and the defense sought 14 months; attorneys plan to appeal. A presidential pardon or commutation remains a potential option.
