Overview
- Judge Arun Subramanian sentenced Sean “Diddy” Combs on Oct. 3 to 50 months in prison, a $500,000 fine and five years of supervised release after convictions on two Mann Act counts and acquittals on racketeering and sex‑trafficking.
- Time in custody since his September 2024 arrest is being credited, and the projection incorporates federal good‑conduct time under the First Step Act at up to 54 days per year.
- Combs’ attorneys have filed a notice of appeal challenging the conviction and sentence, with briefing to follow in the Second Circuit.
- The White House says reports of imminent clemency are false, though President Donald Trump has confirmed Combs requested a pardon.
- A request for placement at FCI Fort Dix was not ordered by the court and remains a BOP decision, and a friend has separately alleged a recent in‑custody knife threat that has not been officially confirmed.
