Overview

• Judge Arun Subramanian ordered 50 months in prison for two counts of transporting women for prostitution and imposed a $500,000 fine.
• The convictions involve Cassie Ventura and a woman identified in court as “Jane,” while the jury acquitted Combs of sex trafficking and conspiracy.
• Prosecutors sought at least 11 years and the judge cited a guideline range of roughly 70–87 months; the defense urged no more than 14 months.
• Combs addressed the court in tears, calling his conduct “repugnant, shameful and sick,” as six of his adult children asked for clemency and the defense showed an 11‑minute mitigation video.
• The judge said the crimes caused irreparable harm and reflected abuse of power, and Combs will receive credit for time served since his September 2024 detention.
