Cassie Ventura filed a victim impact statement on Monday, warning that Sean Combs might retaliate against her if released from custody. Federal prosecutors have requested that Judge Arun Subramanian impose at least 11 years and three months in prison when the music executive appears for sentencing on Friday. Ventura described more than a decade of abuse that began when she turned 19 years old, and she testified for four days during May while pregnant with her son.
Combs was convicted on two counts of transporting people across state lines for prostitution after an eight-week trial. Defense attorneys asked the court to sentence him to 14 months based on time already served. Ventura stated that she fears immediate retribution from Combs and urged the judge to impose a substantial punishment that reflects the harm she experienced during their relationship.
