Overview

• Combs is scheduled to be sentenced Oct. 3 following his July convictions on two Mann Act counts and acquittals on racketeering and sex trafficking.
• Federal prosecutors request a 135‑month prison term, arguing the offenses are serious and citing an asserted history of violence.
• The U.S. Probation Office recommends a sentence between five and seven years, reflecting a mid‑range assessment of the case.
• Defense attorneys ask for no more than 14 months, pointing to time already served, harsh detention conditions, and severe reputational damage.
• Combs has moved to address the court at sentencing, victim impact statements from Cassie Ventura and a former assistant are on file, and Judge Arun Subramanian has denied motions for acquittal and a new trial.
