Rapper Diddy Sentenced To Four Years For Pr0stitution-Related Charges

Sean Combs, the world-famous music mogul, who is better known as “Diddy”, has been sentenced to 50 months in prison following a conviction on prostitution-related charges.



Prosecutors had pushed for an 11-year sentence, but Judge Arun Subramanian imposed just over four years following an emotional daylong hearing on Friday.

Combs’s lawyers had urged a far lighter penalty of 14 months, effectively time served, since the 55-year-old hip-hop star has already spent more than a year in custody in Brooklyn, according to CNN.

Before sentencing, Combs addressed the court, expressing remorse. “I am truly sorry,” he said, asking the judge for “another chance.”
He added, “I ask your honour for mercy. I beg your honour for mercy.”

In July, a jury acquitted Combs of the most serious charges, sex trafficking and racketeering but found him guilty of two counts of transporting people across state lines for prostitution.
