Guilty of prostitution / Prosecutors seek maximum sentence for Diddy,

Sean "Diddy" Combs could face up to 11 years and three months in prison after federal prosecutors asked a judge Tuesday to impose the measure following his guilty plea this summer to two counts of transportation for the purpose of prostitution.

The sentencing recommendation came just after midnight and just days before Combs was scheduled to be sentenced on Friday. In July, he was found guilty by a federal jury while acquitted of the more serious charges of sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy.

In their memorandum, prosecutors are also seeking a $500,000 fine, noting that his crimes are serious and have warranted sentences of more than 10 years for defendants who use violence and fear to control others. They added that Combs has shown no remorse for his actions.

During the trial, prosecutors accused the artist of using his fame, wealth and influence to force his two ex-girlfriends to participate in sex acts orchestrated by drugs and male escorts. The defense has denied trafficking and coercion, stating that the activity was consensual and part of a “lifestyle between couples who swap partners.”

Combs has been held in federal prison in Brooklyn since his arrest in September 2024. His lawyers asked for a lighter sentence, no more than 14 months, taking into account the time he has spent in prison and his rehabilitation during this period.

According to CNN, the US parole department has recommended a sentence of five to seven years in prison.

In court documents, prosecutors argued that Combs is attempting to “reinterpret decades of abuse as simply toxic interpersonal relationships” and that he is “not a victim.” They asked the court to consider his direct impact on the victims.

Among the letters submitted was one from Casandra “Cassie” Ventura, Combs’ ex-girlfriend, who testified about a decade-long relationship that she said was marked by physical and emotional abuse. In her letter to the judge, Ventura asked that Combs’ sentence reflect her experience as a victim and take into account the nightmares and need for psychological care she continues to have.

“If he is released, his first actions will be to retaliate against me and others who spoke out about his abuse in court,” Ventura wrote. “I hope your decision takes into account the truths that the jury failed to see.”

Combs' sentencing is expected to be announced this Friday, marking a significant milestone in one of the most closely watched cases involving a famous artist in the US.
