Prosecutors urged a New York federal judge on Tuesday to lock Sean \u201cDiddy\u201d Combs up for at least 11 years when he\u2019s sentenced on prostitution-related charges later this week \u2014 arguing the \u201cunrepentant\u201d hip-hop mogul has left his victims living in fear.<\/p>\n
The disgraced music mogul, 55, is due to be sentenced on Friday after he was convicted of setting up baby oil-fueled sex romps with escorts who traveled across state lines following a salacious sex crimes trial this summer.<\/p>\n
\u201cHis crimes of conviction are serious and have warranted sentences over ten years in multiple cases for defendants who, like Sean Combs, engaged in violence and put others in fear,\u201d prosecutors wrote in a pre-sentencing recommendation filed shortly after midnight.<\/p>\n

In the filing, which included letters from accusers describing how his violence had impacted their lives, prosecutors called Combs \u201cunrepentant\u201d and urged for his sentence to reflect the \u201cdecades of unchecked violence\u201d and \u201cdecades of psychological, emotional, and physical damage he has inflicted.\u201d<\/p>\n
Combs was spared a potential life sentence in July when jurors found him not guilty of the two most serious charges: racketeering and sex trafficking.<\/p>\n
Instead, he is facing up to 20 years behind bars after he was convicted of two counts of arranging male sex workers to travel across state lines where he directed them to have sex with his girlfriends.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe is not the victim,\u201d prosecutors wrote in the pre-sentencing filing. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe Court should focus on the very real effects that the defendant\u2019s conduct had on the lives of the actual victims, his victims.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe defendant will not be punished for any crimes of which he was acquitted, of course, but punishment for his crimes of conviction must take into account the manner in which he committed them,\u201d they added. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Prosecutors urged a New York federal judge on Tuesday to lock Sean \u201cDiddy\u201d Combs up for at least…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":254722,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5122],"tags":[5229,14839,5333,27633,5248,405,403,5226,5225,5228,5227,349,33242,67,586,132,5230,68,1154,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-266347","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-hip-hop","10":"tag-jail","11":"tag-manhattan-federal-court","12":"tag-metro","13":"tag-new-york","14":"tag-new-york-city","15":"tag-newyork","16":"tag-newyorkcity","17":"tag-ny","18":"tag-nyc","19":"tag-sean-diddy-combs","20":"tag-sex-crimes","21":"tag-united-states","22":"tag-united-states-of-america","23":"tag-unitedstates","24":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","25":"tag-us","26":"tag-us-news","27":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115292960628401656","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/266347","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=266347"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/266347\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/254722"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=266347"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=266347"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=266347"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
