Combs gets 4-year prison sentence
Bangkok Post
|October 05, 2025
Sean “Diddy” Combs was sentenced to more than four years in prison Friday for prostitution-related crimes, capping a dramatic, all-day court hearing during which the music mogul apologised and begged for mercy.
-
Prosecutors had sought 11 years behind bars for the 55-year-old Combs, but District Judge Arun Subramanian handed down a 50-month sentence and a US$500,000 (16.2 million baht) fine.
Combs's lawyers had urged the judge to sentence the hip-hop star to 14 months, which would effectively have been time served since he has been incarcerated in Brooklyn for more than a year.
Combs was acquitted by a jury in July of the most serious charges against him — sex trafficking and racketeering — but convicted of two counts of transporting people across state lines for prostitution.
