Overview

• A jury in July convicted Combs on two counts of transporting persons for prostitution under the Mann Act and acquitted him of sex trafficking and racketeering.
• Federal prosecutors have asked for at least 11 years and three months in prison, while the defense seeks about 14 months largely covered by time served.
• A presentence report described in one account recommends seven years and three months, but the final decision rests with Judge Arun Subramanian.
• Victim-impact letters from Cassie Ventura and others urge a lengthy term and describe ongoing safety fears, as Ventura says she moved her family from New York.
• A former partner, Virginia Huynh, told the court she does not view herself as a trafficking victim and felt pressured by prosecutors, and Combs submitted a remorse letter asking for mercy as he remains detained at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center.
