Sean 'Diddy' Combs Plans Appeal of 50-Month Sentence as He Remains in Brooklyn Jail

The defense plans an appeal over what it calls punishment for conduct the jury rejected.

Overview

  • Combs was convicted in July on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution and acquitted of racketeering and sex trafficking.
  • Judge Arun Subramanian imposed a $500,000 fine and five years of supervised release, with credit for roughly a year already served at MDC Brooklyn.
  • He remains at the Metropolitan Detention Center pending federal prison designation as his lawyers describe 'inhumane' conditions that prosecutors dispute.
  • Lead attorney Marc Agnifilo says a notice of appeal will be filed in the coming days, arguing the court relied on acquitted conduct and criticizing the judge as a '13th juror.'
  • Combs faces extensive civil litigation, including nearly 70 active suits and a new Los Angeles filing by a John Doe, as former protégé Aubrey O'Day publicly urged young artists to protect themselves.
