Diddy Sentencing Date Set After Partial Trial Victory

Diddy's sentencing has been scheduled for October following the rap mogul's conviction on prostitution charges.

Probation Office two months to interview the rapper and put together a sentencing recommendation by Sept. 18, after which both the prosecution and defense teams will file written briefs outlining what Combs’ punishment should be. Combs was found guilty on Wednesday (July 2) of transporting girlfriends and male escorts across state lines for drug-fueled sex marathons called “freak-offs.” But a jury was not convinced beyond a reasonable doubt that this conduct occurred as part of a criminal enterprise, or that Combs’ alleged victims — singer Cassie Ventura and an anonymous woman known as “Jane” — were coerced into the sex parties, leading to his acquittal on more serious sex-trafficking and racketeering charges. The rap mogul sought release on bail following his partial acquittal last week, but Judge Subramanian said he must stay in jail due to his admitted history of domestic violence.
