A federal judge sentenced hip-hop mogul Sean Combs to 50 months in prison on Friday for prostitution-related crimes. Judge Arun Subramanian imposed the maximum $500,000 fine and stated the punishment would demonstrate accountability for violence against women. Prosecutors sought more than 11 years after Combs was convicted of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution involving former girlfriends and male escorts.
The jury acquitted him of trafficking and racketeering charges. Combs apologized to his former partners, family, and community after declining to testify at trial. His defense team requested 14 months. Federal guidelines suggested 70 to 87 months. The mogul could remain imprisoned until late 2028 after credit for time served since his September 2024 arrest.
