Overview

• Federal prosecutors asked for at least 135 months in prison and a $500,000 fine in a late-night filing ahead of Friday’s sentencing.
• Combs was convicted in July on two Mann Act counts for transporting individuals for prostitution and acquitted of racketeering and sex trafficking; the statutory maximum is 20 years.
• Cassie Ventura told the court she moved her family, suffers ongoing trauma, and fears “swift retribution” if Combs is released.
• The defense urged a 14‑month sentence with credit for time served, citing rehabilitation and harsh jail conditions; Combs remains detained at MDC Brooklyn after repeated bail denials.
• Sentencing is scheduled in Manhattan before Judge Arun Subramanian, and the probation office has reportedly recommended roughly five to seven years.
