Judge Sentences Sean 'Diddy' Combs to 50 Months in Prison and a $500,000 Fine

The judge said testimony about coercive "freak-off" parties justified a substantial term.

Overview

  • Manhattan federal judge Arun Subramanian imposed a 50‑month sentence and a $500,000 fine for prostitution-related offenses.
  • Combs was convicted on two transportation/prostitution counts after being acquitted in July of sex‑trafficking and racketeering charges.
  • Sentencing weighed victim accounts and video evidence describing drug‑fueled "freak‑off" events that the court deemed aggravating.
  • Prosecutors sought at least 11 years in prison and the defense asked for no more than 14 months, with the judge calling the longer bid unreasonable.
  • Combs previously sought a presidential pardon from President Donald Trump, according to reports.
