"Federal prosecutors want a Manhattan judge to sentence Sean "Diddy" Combs to at least 11 years in prison for his conviction on two prostitution-related charges. In a court filing on Tuesday, prosecutors said the hip-hop mogul's "crimes of conviction are serious" and that Combs "engaged in violence and put others in fear." Prosecutors said Combs should be sentenced to no less than 135 months behind bars."
""A substantial term of imprisonment is also needed in this case because the defendant is unrepentant," prosecutors wrote in the court filing. "The defendant tries to recast decades of abuse as simply the function of mutually toxic relationships," prosecutors said. "But there is nothing mutual about a relationship where one holds all the power and the other ends up bloodied and bruised.""
Federal prosecutors asked a Manhattan judge to impose at least 135 months in prison for Sean 'Diddy' Combs after his conviction on two prostitution-related charges. Prosecutors said the crimes are serious, that Combs engaged in violence and put others in fear, and that a substantial term is needed because he is unrepentant. Prosecutors criticized his bid for time served and said such a sentence would create disparities. Combs was convicted in July of two Mann Act counts for transporting two girlfriends and multiple male escorts across state lines for paid, dayslong 'freak offs'. The jury heard testimony and saw graphic footage of drug-fueled sex encounters. He was acquitted of more serious charges and intends to speak at sentencing.
