Sean Combs faces sentencing on Friday, Oct. 3, after a Manhattan federal court convicted him on two counts of Mann Act violations for transporting individuals across state lines for prostitution. Judge Arun Subramanian will determine the sentence at approximately 10 a.m. Eastern time at the Brooklyn courthouse. Defense attorneys requested a 14-month term, while prosecutors sought an 11-year prison term for the Bad Boy Records founder.
The court acquitted Combs of more serious sex trafficking charges, but he is confronted with multiple civil lawsuits alleging misconduct. His legal team unsuccessfully attempted to overturn the conviction or secure a new trial. Combs submitted a letter requesting leniency from the judge.
Cassie Ventura submitted testimony requesting strict sentencing, while other associates wrote letters in support of the music executive. Combs has remained at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn since his arrest in September. Each Mann Act violation carries a maximum 10-year sentence.
