Overview

• Combs is set to be sentenced Friday in Manhattan federal court, where he plans to address Judge Arun Subramanian after victim statements and arguments.
• In a multi-page filing, he apologized, described a year of sobriety and rehabilitation, and wrote that the “old me died in jail” as he asked for “another chance.”
• A jury in July convicted him on two counts of transporting individuals for prostitution under the Mann Act and acquitted him of racketeering and sex‑trafficking charges.
• The judge recently denied motions for acquittal and a new trial, allowed Combs to wear civilian clothes for sentencing, and he remains detained at MDC Brooklyn since 2024.
• Cassie Ventura and a former assistant known as “Mia” submitted impact statements describing abuse, as prosecutors argue he is unrepentant and the defense urges a term that would amount to time served.
