Diddy returned to federal court yesterday, three months after jurors found him guilty of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution but acquitted him of the more serious sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy charges.

“A history of good works can't wash away the record in this case. You abused these women. You used that abuse to get your way, freak-offs and hotel nights,” Judge Arun Subramanian scolded Combs before pronouncing sentence.

“The evidence of the abuse is massive. The drugs may have exacerbated your erratic and violent behavior over the years. However, the court has to consider all of your history here.”

Yesterday’s sentencing marks the end of a yearlong high-profile drama, starting from his September 2024 arrest and culminating in a two-month trial that highlighted Diddy’s drug addiction, domestic abuse, and penchant for drug-fueled sex marathons called “freak-offs.”
