Overview

• A Manhattan jury in July convicted Sean Combs on two Mann Act counts for transporting individuals for prostitution and acquitted him of racketeering and sex‑trafficking charges.
• Judge Arun Subramanian imposed a 50‑month term, a $500,000 fine and five years of supervised release, with roughly a year already served credited toward his sentence.
• With credit for time in custody, Combs has about three years remaining under federal rules that do not provide parole, according to multiple reports.
• Defense attorneys contend the court factored in conduct tied to acquitted charges, calling the judge a “13th juror,” while prosecutors had sought more than 11 years and the defense asked for 14 months.
• The judge praised survivor testimony and referenced surveillance video showing abuse; prosecutors criticized Combs’ reported post‑release speaking plans as the “height of hubris,” and more than 50 civil suits against him remain pending.
