Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs Sentenced to Over Four Years in Prison; Lawyers Plan Immediate Appeal

Attorneys for Sean “Diddy” Combs are preparing an immediate appeal following the Grammy-winning artist and music executive’s sentencing on Friday to more than four years in prison. Combs was found guilty of transporting people across state lines for sexual encounters, a conviction that has dramatically reshaped his public image.

The 55-year-old hip-hop star received a sentence of four years and two months, along with a maximum fine of $500,000. Having already served a year in federal custody, Combs could be released in approximately three years. Prosecutors had pushed for a sentence exceeding 11 years, while his defense team argued for his immediate freedom, asserting that his time behind bars had already led to remorse and sobriety.

Combs was convicted in July for flying girlfriends and male sex workers nationwide for drug-fueled sexual encounters over an extended period. Despite being acquitted of more severe sex trafficking and racketeering charges that could have resulted in a life sentence, the high-profile trial in a Manhattan federal court included harrowing testimony from women who accused Combs of abuse. The conviction was made under the federal Mann Act, an anti-prostitution law.

This sentencing marks a critical juncture in the legal saga surrounding Combs, whose once-affable celebrity persona has been severely damaged by the proceedings. His legal team quickly announced their intention to appeal the federal court’s decision.
