Overview

• U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian is set to sentence Sean Combs this morning in Manhattan for two counts of transporting individuals for prostitution, each carrying up to 10 years.
• Prosecutors asked for roughly 135 months in prison, the defense urged a 14‑month time‑served term, and the probation office recommended about five to seven years.
• Victim impact statements were allowed, with Cassie Ventura warning she fears retaliation if Combs is released, and a former assistant known as Mia permitted to address the court.
• Combs submitted a letter apologizing for past violence, citing sobriety and rehabilitation, and he plans to speak to the judge after requesting to play a 15‑minute video.
• The judge previously denied bail and bids for acquittal or a new trial; Combs remains jailed at Brooklyn’s MDC and was granted permission to wear civilian clothing at sentencing.
