BREAKING: Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs sentenced to 4 years in prison in federal prostitution trial
Shaun Diddy Combmes has been sentenced to 50 months in prison, which is more than four years. A Manhattan federal court judge ruled Friday. Judge Arun Sub Romanian told the mogul moments before the decision, “I considered the fact that you are a self-made artist and businessman who inspired and lifted up communities, but then noted that he had to consider all of his history, including the infamous freakoffs.” Sub Romanian concluded, “The court is not assured that if released, these crimes would not be committed again before noting the importance of sending a message to other abusers.” The decision comes 3 months after Combmes was found guilty on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution while being acquitted of sex trafficking and racketeering charges, which carried potentially harsher penalties. The day before the hearing, he submitted a letter to the judge taking full responsibility and accountability for his past wrongs, acknowledging incidents of physical abuse and describing his ongoing efforts towards sobriety and personal accountability. Prosecutors had argued that Comb should face a minimum of 11 years in prison. While dozens of letters from family, colleagues, and former associates, sought leniency, victims, including exartner Cassie Ventura, opposed immediate release, citing ongoing fear and trauma related to past abuse. With the sentence now handed down, attention turns to Comb’s next steps in both his criminal case and several ongoing civil lawsuits. For more of today’s biggest stories, head to page six.com.
