Music mogul Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs sentenced to over 4 years in prostitution case • FRANCE 24 English
The family of Shaun Diddy Combmes have just heard the verdict. The disgraced music mogul will spend four years and two months in prison. A sentence handed down following his July conviction on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. I think the judge was very thoughtful. uh he didn’t do the 11 years that the prosecutor wanted. He has to pay the price for what he did. Already serving time in prison for more than a year, Mr. Combmes was acquitted on the more serious charges of racketeering, conspiracy, and sex trafficking, which carried the possibility of a life sentence. Looking visibly aged in the courtroom with gray hair and a beard, the former hip hop star apologized, adding that he acted under the influence of drugs. His lawyers took issue with the length of the sentence. The jury’s verdict was was resoundingly clear. There was no sex trafficking. There was no racketeering. Everything was consensual. Everything was adult, which is why he was convicted only of the prostitution uh offense. What we feel happened today was that the judge acted as a 13th juror, one that we did not choose um and that he second guessed the jury’s verdict. Others were surprised at the length of the sentence for other reasons. At least he got something, you know, cuz a lot of us worried he wasn’t going to get anything. You know, he needs to be held accountable. is justice for those who’ve been harmed and in other ways um not quite sure if if this reflects what the necessary kind of punishment would be for such uh for such heinous crimes. Mr. Comb’s lawyers have announced that they will appeal the decision.
Sean “Diddy” Combs was sentenced Friday (October 3) to four years and two months in federal prison after being convicted of organising drug-fueled, sometimes violent sex parties involving paid sex workers – a dramatic fall from grace for one of hip-hop’s most powerful figures.

About time.
I called it. I said five and it will be with time served.
FOUR YEARS?!?! He got off light!
He was convicted in a federal court. He'll be pardoned before the ink is dry on his first prison tat.
Was not the distraction from Epstein they hoped it would be.
Nothing will happen to him in prison that he didn’t do to so many other people!
