"Combs apologized to his victims for his conduct, and to his seven children and his mother for letting them down. He called his own actions "disgusting, shameful, and sick." "I've been humbled and broken to my core," he told the judge, with a bible open on the defense table in front of him. "I hate myself right now. I've been stripped down for nothing. I really, truly am sorry for it all, no matter what they say.""
"Subramanian found at least some of the arguments from Combs and his lawyers to be unpersuasive. After Combs, his family, and his lawyers praised his character in courtroom presentations, the judge said it was not enough. "A history of good works can't wash away the record in this case," Subramanian told Combs. "Which shows that you abused the power and control that you had over the lives of women you professed to love dearly. You abused them physically, emotionally, and psychologically.""
Sean 'Diddy' Combs, 55, was sentenced in Manhattan to four years and two months for transporting prostitutes and girlfriends across state lines for drug-fueled sex performances he called "freak offs." He apologized in court to victims, his seven children, and his mother, calling his actions "disgusting, shameful, and sick" and saying he had been "humbled and broken to my core." Judge Arun Subramanian rejected character-based mitigation and said good works could not erase the record of abuse. The judge said Combs abused power and control, harming women physically, emotionally, and psychologically. Combs displayed a range of emotions while family members spoke.
