Sean Combs was convicted of trafficking ex-girlfriends for prostitution
US hip hop mogul Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs has been sentenced to four years and two months in prison for transporting former girlfriends for prostitution. The Bad Boy Records founder was also fined $500,000.
Combs’ former partners, singer Cassie Ventura and a woman identified in court as Jane, testified that he abused them and forced them into alcohol- and drug-fueled “freak-off” sex parties.
In July, the jury convicted Combs on two counts of transportation for the purposes of prostitution, but acquitted him of sex trafficking and racketeering charges.
In a letter to US District Court Judge Arun Subramanian, Combs apologized to his victims and said he takes full responsibility for his actions. “I lost my way. I got lost in my journey. Lost in the drugs and the excess. My downfall was rooted in my selfishness,” he wrote.
Ventura’s lawyer Douglas Wigdor backed the sentence. “While nothing can undo the trauma caused by Combs, the sentence imposed today recognizes the impact of the serious offenses he committed,” he said in a statement.
