Sean "Diddy" Combs was sentenced to 50 months (over four years) in federal prison for conviction on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, involving arranging for paid male escorts to cross state lines for drug-fueled sexual performances with his girlfriends, while he recorded and participated[1][2][4][5]. The sentence accounts for approximately 12 months he has already served, so he could be released in about three years[1][2]. Combs was acquitted of more serious charges of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking, which could have potentially resulted in a life sentence[1][2]. At sentencing, the judge rebuked Combs for years of abuse toward two former girlfriends, Casandra "Cassie" Ventura and a woman known as Jane, who testified against him[1]. His defense highlighted Combs' philanthropy and personal remorse, including an emotional moment in court[2]. Following the sentence announcement, Combs filed an appeal challenging the conviction[3]. He apologized in court, describing his actions as "disgusting, shameful and sick"[3]. In addition to prison time, Combs was fined $500,000[5]. The case has drawn significant public and media attention given Combs' high profile in the music industry and hip-hop culture.
