Overview

• U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian imposed a 50‑month term, a $500,000 fine and five years of supervised release after Combs’ July convictions on two Mann Act counts.
• Combs receives credit for roughly 13 months already served, leaving about three years remaining in the federal system, which has no parole though good‑conduct time can reduce custody.
• The sentencing followed a split verdict that acquitted him of racketeering and sex‑trafficking charges as prosecutors sought more than 11 years and the defense urged a time‑served sentence.
• Defense attorneys said they will appeal, arguing the court’s emphasis on coercion was inconsistent with the jury’s findings, while the judge cited abuse of power and praised accusers’ testimony.
• Prosecutors told the court Combs had scheduled October speaking engagements they called the “height of hubris,” as reporting also focuses on prison placement, safety concerns and dozens of pending civil suits.
