Overview

• Sean Combs is set to be sentenced Friday in Manhattan federal court and remains in custody at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center.
• Jurors in July convicted him on two counts of transporting individuals for prostitution under the Mann Act and acquitted him of sex trafficking and racketeering.
• Combs submitted a four-page letter apologizing for past abuse, saying he is sober for the first time in 25 years, and asking to speak directly to the judge.
• Prosecutors seek roughly 135 months, calling him unrepentant and citing violence and fear, while the defense urges a 14‑month term that would be close to time served.
• Victim impact statements, including from Cassie Ventura and a former assistant known as Mia expected to speak in court, will factor into Judge Arun Subramanian’s decision, which follows his denial of Combs’s bids for acquittal and a new trial.
