Overview

• U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian imposed a 50‑month prison term, a $500,000 fine and five years of supervised release for Combs’ Mann Act convictions.
• With roughly a year credited for time served, Combs has about 36 months remaining in custody, potentially reduced by federal good‑conduct credits.
• A Manhattan jury convicted him of transporting individuals for prostitution and acquitted him of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking.
• Evidence central to the case included surveillance video of Combs assaulting Cassie Ventura in 2016 and testimony from Ventura and an anonymous witness known as Jane.
• Combs’ team announced an appeal, arguing the judge acted like a “13th juror,” while victims’ attorneys praised the sentence and prosecutors noted he had planned speaking engagements ahead of the hearing; defense and allies also voiced concerns about his safety in federal custody.
