A federal judge will sentence Diddy on Friday after his conviction for transporting male escorts across state lines for sexual encounters with his girlfriends. Prosecutors requested at least 11 years in prison and described the music mogul as unrepentant in a filing submitted on Tuesday. Diddy has remained in a Brooklyn federal detention facility since authorities arrested him in September 2024, and he faces a maximum 20-year prison term. Jurors acquitted him in July of racketeering charges and sex trafficking allegations that carried potential life imprisonment.
Prosecutors argued the sentence should reflect decades of violent behavior that caused lasting harm to victims. Letters from accusers detailed psychological damage and physical trauma from the orchestrated sexual activities. Defense attorneys requested a 14-month sentence and argued that abuse allegations from former girlfriends should not affect punishment because jurors rejected coercion charges. Diddy hopes the court will release him based on the time already served in detention.
