Sean Diddy has been sentenced to 50months in prison on prostitution and other related charges.
He was convicted of flying people across the US for sexual encounters he called “freak-offs”, including his girlfriends and male sex workers.
As he sentenced the hip-hop mogul, the judge said the court had seen “massive” amounts of evidence against Combs, and a significant sentence was required.
Combs earlier told the court his actions were “disgusting, shameful and sick” as he apologised to the victims and his children.
Meanwhile, recall that three months ago, Sean “Diddy” Combs fell to his knees in a Manhattan courtroom after a New York jury acquitted him of charges of sex trafficking and racketeering.
In July, 12 New Yorkers acquitted Combs, 55, of sex trafficking and racketeering charges, which carried the potential of a life sentence – but found him guilty of transportation to engage in prostitution involving his two ex-girlfriends, Cassandra Ventura and “Jane”.
On Friday, Judge Arun Subramanian told a downcast Combs that his crimes and the abuse of his ex-girlfriends warranted 50 months in prison and a $500,000 fine.
As the judge described how Combs used his fame and power to “subjugate” his victims, the music mogul did not look up, remaining expressionless for the judge’s 20-minute speech.
Afterwards, the rapper turned around to look at an entourage of more than 30 family members and friends packed into the courtroom behind him.
According to AFP, “He appeared to mouth a message to them: “I love you, I’m sorry.”
