"In a victim impact statement submitted to US District Judge Arun Subramanian on Tuesday, Ventura, Combs' ex-girlfriend of more than a decade, urged the judge to consider the "many lives" Combs has "upended with his abuse and control." "My worries that Sean Combs or his associates will come after me and my family is my reality," Ventura wrote in the court filing."
"She said she has moved out of New York and is "keeping as private and quiet as I possibly can because I am so scared that if he walks free, his first actions will be swift retribution towards me and others who spoke up about his abuse at trial." Combs is scheduled to be sentenced on Friday for his conviction on two prostitution-related federal charges."
"The "I'll Be Missing You" rapper's lawyers have said in a lengthy presentencing submission that Combs should serve no more than 14 months behind bars. If Combs gets his way at sentencing, he'd soon be released, as he has been locked up at a Brooklyn federal jail for a year. Prosecutors, however, told the judge in court papers filed on Tuesday that Combs should be sentenced to at least 11 years in prison."
