Overview

• Combs was convicted in July on two Mann Act counts and acquitted of racketeering and sex‑trafficking, leaving only the prostitution‑related charges for sentencing.
• The defense filing asks Judge Arun Subramanian to impose a 14‑month sentence with immediate release, citing harsh jail conditions, newfound sobriety and dozens of character letters.
• Federal probation officers calculated a guideline range of roughly 5.75 to 7.25 years, and prosecutors are expected to recommend a multi‑year term with their submission due by Sept. 29.
• Combs remains detained at MDC Brooklyn after the judge previously rejected a proposed $50 million bond.
• The judge set a Thursday hearing to address defense efforts to set aside the convictions, with formal sentencing set for Oct. 3.
