Diddy sentencing hearing recap- Sean Combs sentenced to 50 months in jail

On Friday, a judge sentenced a fight-stricken hip-hop mogul, Sean “Diddy” Combs to 50 months in prison after being found guilty in his federal sex-crimes case.

Just over four years was the ruling of a stoic Combs in Manhattan court on October 3 by US District Court Judge Arun Subramanian as a prison sentence.

This is because Combs might be released within a period of less than three years when he will have credit on the period he has had to spend in incarceration at Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn where he has been under custody since being arrested in September 2024.

Combs directly addressed witnesses of the testimony of his ex girlfriends who were also former R&B star Casandra “Cassie” Ventura Fine and a woman known as Jane, where he apologized to both.

“I want to personally apologize again to Cassie Ventura for any harm or hurt that I caused to her, emotionally or physically. My actions were disgusting, shameful and sick,” Combs said.

Combs also apologized to Jane. “I didn’t mean to hurt you,” he said.

His belief revolves around the transportation of Ventura Fine and the unknown Jane and sex workers with an aim of prostitutions.

Both Ventura Fine and Jane testified in the trial that Combs physically abused and ordered them around and made them engaged in marathon drug-enhanced sexual sessions with male sex workers. These meetings were, as they were called, freak offs, and they used to traverse state and even international borders.

In a court hearing earlier Friday, Subramanian explained that Combs had remorsefully admitted to some of his actions, but not the offences of prostitutions that form the center of the conviction.

Combs had seven children, of whom six spoke in support of their father through tears, and one of the defense counsel representing Combs also cried as she described how uplifting she believed her father was.

Prior to the sentencing of Combs, the legal team representing the Grammy-winning rapper had advised Subramanian to impose a 14 month jail term on Combs, and prosecutors wanted an 11-year sentence.

Before the sentencing, the judge referred to evidence presented by the prosecution, such as testimony that escorts were paid thousands of dollars to have sex with the former girlfriends of Combs Ventura Fine and “Jane” as overwhelming.

However, on Friday in court, Subramanian asserted that the story propagated by Combs and his attorneys to the effect that the case was about nothing more than ferrying people across state lines in order to have consensual sexual relations was simply not consistent at all with reality and even with admitting guilt
