Judge Sentences Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs to 50 Months in Federal Prison

The Manhattan judge said a substantial term was needed for deterrence, finding Combs’s late remorse unconvincing.

Vor der Urteilsverkündung im Prozess gegen ihn wegen Sexualstraftaten hat der US-Rapper Sean "Diddy" Combs den Richter um Gnade gebeten. Er fürchte um sein Leben und versprach, "nie wieder ein Verbrechen zu begehen".

Overview

  • The 50‑month sentence falls well below prosecutors’ request of 11 years and three months but far above the defense bid for a 14‑month, largely time‑served term.
  • Combs has been held at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center since his September 2024 arrest and is expected to pursue appeals as he remains in federal custody.
  • Before sentencing, Combs submitted a multi‑page plea for mercy and spoke in court to apologize, but the judge said he was not persuaded by the timing or sincerity of his remorse.
  • A July jury acquitted Combs of trafficking and RICO charges yet convicted him on two Mann Act counts for transporting individuals for prostitution.
  • Dozens of civil suits continue, and the court received statements from accusers and public figures, including Cassie Ventura warning of retaliation and 50 Cent urging a harsh penalty.
