Prosecutors seek substantial prison term for Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs as they oppose bail
August 1, 2025
Prosecutors say they will seek a prison sentence for music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs that is substantially higher than the four to five years they initially expected he might face under federal sentencing guidelines. And they say they oppose the defense’s renewed request for bail because nothing has changed since his conviction last month on prostitution-related charges. He was acquitted of more serious sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy charges. The written submission to a Manhattan federal court judge was filed late Thursday. Earlier in the week, a defense lawyer made a renewed $50 million bail request for Combs, pending his Oct. 3 sentencing.
