"Combs, 55, was also fined half a million dollars. Since Combs has served a year in jail already, this sentence means he would be released in about three years. His lawyers wanted him freed immediately and said the time behind bars has already forced his remorse and sobriety. He was convicted in July of flying his girlfriends and male sex workers around the country to engage in drug-fueled sexual encounters, a practice that happened over many years and in different locations."
""Why did it happen so long?" U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian asked as he handed down the sentence. "Because you had the power and the resources to keep it going, and because you weren't caught." Combs showed no visible change of emotion as he learned his sentence, sitting in his chair and looking straight ahead as the judge spoke. He remained subdued afterward and appeared dejected, with none of the enthusiasm and smiles that accompanied his interactions with lawyers and his family earlier in the day."
Sean "Diddy" Combs was sentenced to four years and two months in federal prison and fined $500,000 for transporting people across state lines for sexual encounters. He has already served one year, leaving about three years remaining. He was convicted of flying girlfriends and male sex workers around the country for drug-fueled sexual encounters that took place over many years in different locations. He was acquitted of sex trafficking and racketeering charges. The judge said the conduct persisted because Combs had the power and resources and was not caught. Combs appeared subdued, apologized, and pleaded for a chance to change.
