Overview

• U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian ordered 50 months in federal prison and a $500,000 fine following Combs’s conviction on two transportation counts.
• A Manhattan jury in July acquitted him of sex‑trafficking and RICO charges but found him guilty of transporting persons for prostitution under the Mann Act.
• Prosecutors sought at least 11 years in prison, while the defense urged a sentence of about 14 months, citing time already served.
• Combs apologized in a four‑page letter and in court; the judge cited victim statements and a 2016 hotel assault video in explaining the punishment.
• He remains in custody at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center and is expected to pursue appellate options.
