Overview
- Sean “Diddy” Combs is set to be sentenced in Manhattan at 10 a.m. on two Mann Act counts after being acquitted of racketeering and sex‑trafficking.
- Prosecutors asked Judge Arun Subramanian for about 135 months in prison, the defense requested a 14‑month term, and U.S. Probation recommended roughly five to seven years.
- On the eve of sentencing, Combs filed a four‑page letter apologizing, citing sobriety and jail programming, and he intends to address the court.
- Judge Subramanian permitted a former assistant known as “Mia” to speak, and Cassie Ventura urged a significant sentence in a letter citing ongoing safety fears.
- The judge previously denied bail and post‑trial motions; Combs faces up to 20 years and is expected to appeal after sentencing.
